Some proposal details are meant to be looked up at: the florals, the arch, the ocean view. And some are meant to be found right at your feet. For Armaan and Jasmine's proposal in Dana Point, California, planned and produced by The Yes Girls, we created a custom proposal floor decal that read "Forever & Always," a phrase that holds special meaning for the couple, set right in the aisle where they would stand.
Floor decals have quickly become one of our most requested pieces, and this proposal shows exactly why. Here's a look at how it came together, plus ideas for using a floor decal at your own proposal, engagement party or wedding.
A Coastal Proposal in Dana Point
The setting was all soft light and sea air: a white pergola wrapped in greenery and roses in shades of pink and red, with the Pacific just beyond the hedges. The Yes Girls lined the aisle with pillar candles on clear risers, single red roses and a scatter of white petals, creating a path that led straight to the proposal spot.
Right in the center of that path, the words "Forever & Always" sat in clean white lettering, framed by candlelight on both sides. It was the last thing the couple walked over before the question, and one of the first things they looked down at afterward.
We've partnered with The Yes Girls on proposals from Sedona to Long Island, and it's always an honor to add a personal touch to these once-in-a-lifetime moments, especially one this close to home in Orange County.
Why a Floor Decal Works So Well at a Proposal
A floor decal does something a standing sign can't: it becomes part of the ground you're standing on. That changes how it shows up in photos and how it feels in person.
- It shows up in every wide shot. Because it sits in the aisle, the phrase appears naturally in the foreground of nearly every full-length photo of the couple.
- It doesn't block the view. In a setting with an ocean backdrop, nothing stands between the couple and the scenery.
- It creates a "found" moment. The decal is easy to miss at first glance, then becomes a sweet surprise when the couple looks down.
- It photographs beautifully up close. A ring shot over the lettering is one of our favorite details from this proposal.
The Design Details
For Armaan and Jasmine, we kept the design simple so the words could carry the moment:
- The phrase. "Forever & Always," a line that is meaningful to the couple.
- The lettering. An elegant serif in all caps, paired with a flowing ampersand that adds a romantic, handwritten touch.
- The color. Crisp white, which stood out against the warm stone pavers and matched the candles, petals and the couple's white and ivory outfits.
- The size. Large enough to read clearly in wide shots, while still sitting comfortably within the aisle.
Floor Decal Ideas for Your Proposal or Wedding
A "Forever & Always" decal is just one direction. Here are a few other ways to use a floor decal:
- A phrase that's yours. A quote, a song title, an inside joke or the first words you said to each other.
- Your names or initials. A simple monogram at the proposal spot or at the end of the aisle.
- The date. Mark the day you got engaged, right where it happened.
- A dance floor monogram. Carry the idea into your wedding with a decal at the center of the dance floor.
- A reception entrance welcome. Greet guests with your names as they walk in.
- A shower or engagement party moment. A playful phrase for a photo spot.
