After the longest winter its is finally getting warmer in NYC and the prettiest season is right around the corner. We are so excited to start planning the cherry blossoms proposals in our beautiful city. Here are some new ideas on how to propose during this season:
1. Private rooftop with your personal silk cherry blossom tree
Cherry Blossoms in NY is one of the main tourist attractions for the spring season. So, if you want to propose in the park with the cherry trees in your background, it would have to be around 7 am. We decided to offer this year this unique opportunity to propose in private on a rooftop with the silk cherry tree and then travel to the nearest park and continue the photo sessions there. In this case, you have privacy of the proposal moment and a beautiful photo session with the blossoms after.
2. Private penthouse with the spring arch decor
Spring in New York is very unpredictable, that is why we always recommend choosing a location with an indoor room and an outdoor terrace. This private Penthouse would be an ideal spot for an intimate proposal in New York. You can also customize the decorations for your liking. It can be a spring themed proposal decor or statement marquee letters. On the outdoor terrace, we can set up a table with champagne and a musician playing the romantic song of your choice. Ideal for sunset proposals. Our professional photographer will be there to capture the big surprise.
3. Mercer Labs digital screen proposal
Just imagine her surprise when you walk through the museum and all of a sudden one of the art installations displays a special message, just for her. What feels like a casual date night at the museum, turns into a deeply personal and unforgettable moment. This is a perfect spring proposal idea as its still might be cold to propose outside, plus there will be no people around to interfere with your engagement. We would highly recommend adding a secret videographer to the package to capture the big surprise.
4. Cherry blossoms at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Brooklyn Botanic Garden is known for its cherry blossoms. If you are looking for that soft pink background look for your engagement, this is the perfect place for you. Peak bloom is usually from late March to early April. And you need really think it through as its a very popular location, so early mornings during the weekdays are preferred. Brooklyn Botanic Garden doesn’t allow any decorations, performances or path blockage. This place is more about simplicity and natural beauty, rather than a big proposal production.
We love photographing the proposals at the Cherry Esplanade. It has these iconic tunnel views, but very crowded, especially on weekends. The Japanese Hill and Pond Garden is another great spot for a surprise proposal.
Keep in mind that you need a special photography permit from the garden to photograph the event. The permit needs to be approved ahead of time and its around $200
5. Private rooftop with cherry blossom decor
Privacy is a new luxury. As much as we love natural parks, a private, quiet location would always be a priority choice. Just imagine bringing your partner to a private rooftop overlooking the iconic NYC skyline, thoughtfully decorated to match her taste. Elegant decor, soft colors, a live musician and just the two of you – a moment you want to remember forever. Our secret proposal photographer captures it all discreetly from a distance, as not to disturb your intimate moment. Give your partner a marriage proposal she is always dreamed of.
6. Custom digital projections
Transform an empty space into a fully customized, personalized marriage proposal experience. Start from designing your own message. Instead of generic “will you marry me”, create a deep, meaningful message for your partner. Add your relationship timeline on the walls and walk her through your story. It feels exclusive, intentional, and completely different from a typical proposal.
Add real sand candles, live musicians, a secret proposal photographer and videographer to document the event. At the end you can say “this was made just for us”
7. Premium flower heart marriage proposal in Central Park
Central Park is an iconic location for surprise proposals in New York. It is beautiful year-around and we love creating surprise proposals in here. For the spring, private gazebo engagement would be a perfect choice. This gazebo is off the walking paths, which brings privacy and serenity even when you are in the biggest park in the city.
For our premium flower heart proposal package, we recommend scheduling in the morning or 2 hours before the sunset, when the light is soft and romantic. Our proposal photographer will be there to capture the big surprise.
After the proposal, you can take a walk through the park and continue with a natural engagement photoshoot, stopping at some of Central Park’s most beautiful spots along the way.
8. Times Square Billboard marriage proposal
This proposal is not for shy couples. Located in the heart of the busy city center, the Times Square Billboard proposal experience is made for big, bold declarations. No one ever expects to see a picture of themselves on a billboard and especially not in NY.
It’s bold, surreal, and completely unforgettable—a proposal that feels as big as the city around you. Our professional photo and video team will be there to document the whole surprise.
Spring naturally represents a new beginning and if you were planning a marriage proposal this year, it might be the right season to do so. From colorful cherry blossoms to leasure strolls through the park, golden beach sunsets and private rooftops overlooking the Empire State Building, everything about this season feels made for the moment.
If you are planning to propose this year and don’t know where to start, contact us directly at head@proposal007.com and our experienced team will help you to create the marriage proposal of her dreams.
