Proposers often mistakenly believe that the key to achieving a great proposal takes large amounts of money. “Shutterfly books are what every guy considers ‘meaningful,’ with rose petals and Champagne,” Ms. Cantrell said, noting that a heartfelt proposal simply takes effort. “I encourage proposers to share something they might not have ever shared before, like the moment they decided their partner was the one,” Ms. Stahl said. “It was a big, creative idea, but didn’t mean it was public or over-the-top,” Ms. Stahl said. “It was meaningful, filled with details from their unique story and most of all, perfect for them.”As for the rose petals, candles and other romantic décor, Ms. Cantrell advises to confine them to the periphery.
