LCD Ring Box from Euricase

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Proposing just got a lot more high tech! One of the Wedding Paper Divas staffers recently brought in a super cool ring box with an LCD screen in the top, like this one from Euricase. When her fiance proposed, he played a little presentation that featured music, photos of them as a couple and messages he wrote for her.

It was passed around the office for hours, and we are all amazed! What do you think?

Rant or Rave: Embarassing Proposals

Friday, July 31st, 2009

When we hosted our engagement story contest, we read through hundreds of funny, charming and sweet engagement stories from excited couples looking forward to their nuptials. Each one had its own style, and we loved reading all of the proposals.

The only problem was that some of them were downright embarrassing!

From naked proposals to public displays, some engagement stories cross the line from beautiful to blush-worthy. This man rented out a movie theater, hired a group of faux audience members and showed this video of himself singing Daniel Beddingfield’s “If Your Not the One” in his underwear as his special way to propose.

Do you love it or hate it? She said yes, but would you be more prone to cry with joy or die of embarrassment? Do embarrassing proposals make you want to rant or rave?

Engagement Photos + Streamers

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Big, bubbly balloons and tandem bicycles are all the rage right now for engagement photo shoots, but what’s going to be the hot new prop that engaged couples will be clamoring for next season?

Photographer Max Wanger seems to think that colorful streamers are the answer, as evidenced by this beautiful shoot with a couple named Grace and Parson. We love how he plays with focus to create artistic shots that would look fabulous in a photo save the date card.

What do you think? Are streamers the next big thing?
