December is the most popular time of year to propose. That's exactly why the best setups get booked early. Here's how to plan yours calmly.

Family is in town, everyone is in a good mood, and there's already a reason to celebrate. It makes sense that so many people choose December to propose.
The catch: venues, hotels and decorators fill up fast. A beautiful proposal starts with one simple decision — pick your date now.
Idea 1: The hotel room proposal
The most requested option in Abuja. You book the room, we transform it — roses, candles, a marquee sign, petals leading to the moment — and you bring her in. It's private, so nobody is watching except the people you choose to invite.

Idea 2: At home, before the family gathering
If your families are meeting over Christmas, a proposal in your living room or garden — just before everyone arrives — gives you a private moment followed immediately by a celebration. We style the space, then step out of the way.
Idea 3: A Christmas-themed proposal
A styled tree, warm lights, red and gold roses and the ring hidden among the ornaments. It feels festive without being cheesy, and the photos are unforgettable.
A simple timeline
- 6–8 weeks before — choose the date and the type of setup; message us to reserve
- 4 weeks before — book the hotel room or confirm the home location
- 2 weeks before — agree colours, sign wording and any extras (photographer, cake, music)
- On the day — we set up while you keep her busy, then hand over
What to send us when you message
- Your preferred date and a backup date
- Location — hotel name, home, or ask us for suggestions
- Her favourite colours or flowers
- Your budget, so we can suggest the right setup
She'll forget the date of a lot of things. She won't forget this one — so give it the time it deserves.
