Villa proposal
Ubud, Bali
August 18, 2024
Ariana and Steve have shared their life for the past five years and just made the next big step of buying a house in San Diego together. This trip to Bali was their first time traveling outside their home country, so the excitement was there from the beginning. Steve saw this as the ideal moment to propose, marking their first big trip and a new chapter in their relationship.
A few weeks before their trip, Steve reached out to us with a clear vision for the proposal. He wanted it to be special, but not over the top. Just something simple that would make a forever memory. His idea was to propose in a nicely decorated villa, surrounded by nature, where they could spend the rest of the day celebrating their engagement. Steve chose Ubud for its beautiful rice terrace and green scenery as his preferred location. He asked us to help create a setting that was simple, elegant, and perfectly timed with the sunset.
To align with Steve’s wishes, we selected a bamboo treehouse in Ubud that offered stunning views over the rice fields, ideal for a sunset proposal. We focused on keeping the setup minimal yet meaningful, arranging a small path of flowers leading to a spot where Steve could propose. The villa’s natural beauty did most of the work, so we kept the decorations subtle—a few well-placed candles and a touch of flowers, just enough to enhance the moment without overwhelming it.
The proposal was exactly what Steve had hoped for— romantic, simple, and an intimate moment just between the both of them. The serene environment allowed Ariana and Steve to fully absorb the moment without any distractions. The beauty of the sunset and the quiet elegance of the setting made the proposal feel natural and sincere, leaving them both with a memory that felt uniquely theirs.
"The proposal during sunset had everything I ever wanted — beautiful, simple, and completely us. When I first walked in, the villa was lovely and decorated with flowers and candles, which already left me speechless about what would be about to follow next. When Steve went down on his knee, it was a moment I will never forget. Thank you so much!" – Ariana
