We love this time of the year at The Event Group – it’s Valentine’s Day! And that means a day to proclaim your love to your sweetheart. Whether you have been dating a few months, engaged for a year or are already married, it’s the perfect time to show your significant other how much they really mean to you.

We’ve taken our favorite proposals from 2014 to share with you – and make sure to see if your favorite proposal from 2013 made our list last year!

This adorable couple met during the music video shoot for the Imagine Dragon song, “On Top Of the World” where both of them were cast as extras – and they were inseparable ever since. So what a more perfect way to propose than while “on top of the world” – aka a hot air balloon ride? How romantic!

One of our favorites is this simple and sentimental beach proposal. After meeting in college, Colbey and Tyler knew that they were meant to be together. He surprised her by taking her to the beach one day and presenting her with a scrapbook of their relationship, and then getting down on one knee to surprise her when she got to the last page.

These guys took it up a notch and proposed on national TV with a little help from one of our favorite day TV show hosts, Ellen DeGeneres.

Pittsburgh’s very own Pirates MVP Andrew McCutchen also proposed to his girlfriend on Ellen!

This proposal, live from The Today Show, will bring tears to anyone’s eyes.

We love this proposal – it was four years in the making, 100,000 miles, 28 countries and he spent more than four month abroad. It took some serious dedication from this guy, and we love how much time and effort he put into this! (And he said he knew that he was going to marry her on the first date! Cue the happy sighs)

One of our new favorite sites is “How He Asked” … it’s a site where people can submit their proposal videos and stories to be posted online. So if you’re looking for a tear jerker and something romantic to watch this weekend, make sure to take a look at it!

Monograms are one of our favorite things at The Event Group. We love to recommend that the client personalize their wedding, and a monogram is one way to achieve this. They can be incorporated into any aspect of an event, from the napkins to the cuff links to the dance floor to the bride’s veil to the aisle runner – and everything in between. The options are literally limitless for where you can use a monogram.

To begin, here is a basic guide to the types of monograms you can use – remember that font matters when trying to set the tone for your embellishments!

Pre Wedding Monograms

Many brides use monogrammed gifts as the perfect way to personalize something for their bridesmaids. We love the custom hangers for their bridesmaids’ dresses or the silk robes embroidered with their monograms.

We love these cozy pajama bottoms as an option too!

Or stick to a classic jewelry piece.

Give them something they can use after the wedding – and don’t forget to get one for yourself as well!

For the Ceremony

You can incorporate the groom into the monogram theme as well – with suspenders, shirt cuff or cuff links.

A veil is a perfect place to add monograms – even adding past wedding dates and monograms of family members.

Add a “Something New” to your bridal bouquet with a custom wrap it in your wedding colors.

Have a custom aisle runner created with your monogram as a couple.

Incorporate them into your ceremony programs.

During the Reception

There are many different ways to add them into your reception.

Embellish the dance floor with your monogram – you can use a spotlight for it or have it decal made.

Menus make a great keepsake item for your guests.

Add them into unexpected places as well!
