Our professional guidance ensures your surprise proposal is seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable. Here's how we do it, plus some expert tips to help you along the way.
Step 1: Choose the Perfect Location
Location is everything when it comes to setting the stage for your proposal. At Yours Truly Decor, we specialize in stunning beach proposals.

Whether it’s a meaningful spot from your relationship or a picture-perfect scenic view, we’ll help you pick the ideal setting. From the sparkling shores of Cape May to the stunning skyline views at Liberty State Park, let us help you choose the ideal setting for your big moment.
Pro Tip: Consider the lighting and atmosphere. Sunset proposals on the beach are incredibly romantic and offer breathtaking photo opportunities. Prefer something more private? We’ll help you find a secluded garden or an intimate rooftop spot.
