The marriage proposal is not the only proposal you should be thinking about!
Asking someone to be your bridesmaid, maid/matron of honour or flower girl should be a heartfelt occasion so you can show them how much it would mean to you to have them play a big role in your wedding day.
It doesn’t have to be a long, expensive day full of activities (your hen’s night will take care of that), but there are a few simple things you can do to make the occasion meaningful.
For maximum result with minimal effort, read on below for our 6 key tips for hosting the perfect bridal proposal night.
1. Music
Whether it’s a day or night event, set a fun and welcoming mood with music.
A great idea is to ask your attendees to each send you 5 of their favourite songs in advance so you can include them in the playlist.
2. Grazing platter
Pre-order a charcuterie board or platter to remove the stress of having to purchase and style the food yourself.
There are likely to be many places near you offering these. Remember to support local!
3. Bridal proposal boxes
Bridal proposal boxes are a great way to ask a special friend to play an important role in your wedding day.
Pre-made packs like our Classic Bridesmaid Box and Deluxe Bridesmaid Box are a stress-free way to organise a beautiful, heartfelt bridesmaid proposal and contain carefully curated inclusions such as candles, premium chocolate, matching scrunchies and robes, champagne glasses and more.
Pick your customised options for each individual person, place your order and these incredible gift boxes will show up on your doorstep.
4. Drinks
Both our Classic and Deluxe Bridesmaid Boxes come with a gift-sized Prosecco or Rosé, and the Deluxe Bridesmaid Box and the Bride Box come with beautiful stemless glasses personalised with each person’s title - bridesmaid, maid/matron of honour and bride.
If you’ve upgraded any box to include the 200mL Baby Pink Gin, get a good quality tonic to mix it with, such as Fever-tree elderflower tonic.
Naturally you’ll need to offer a few alcohol-free options too.
Whatever your celebratory drink of choice is, say cheers and thank your lovely bride tribe for supporting you ahead of your big day!
This is another great photo opportunity, and these unforgettable moments will last you a lifetime.
5. Robes
Have matching robes ready for your guests.
These will be great for IG pics and memories, and will be a valuable addition to the wedding photos taken in the morning of your big day while you’re all getting ready.
Pick up a Bride Box for your own unique white robe, and don’t forget the Flower Girl Box if you’re having a flower girl in your wedding. She wants to feel part of the group with the older girls too!
6. Fragrance
Along with music, scent is great for creating a certain atmosphere.
Light a candle you haven’t used much or at all before - like the champagne and strawberries scent from Blake & Arloe we chose specially for our bridesmaid boxes.
Because of the power of scent to trigger memories and emotions, every time you light that candle in the future you’ll be reminded of this wonderful day with these special ladies.
