La Fête, who truly have boutique experience at their heart have predicted that proposal planning will be the next big trend, after an influx of male enquiries for their services have appeared.
Created in 2016, La Fête is renowned for their wedding and event planning services, from traditional weddings to extravagant parties; La Fête doesn’t just create experiences - they create memories. Priding themselves on the diversity of their projects and thinking outside of the box to deliver the most memorable moments, with the majority of client liaising being predominately female. That is until recently when an increase of male enquiries for their wedding services materialised and now account for over a third of queries.
Founder Charlotte Ricard-Quesada, a recent bride herself believes this increase is due to “a want and need for both parties to be in control, it’s no longer just about what the bride wants, the groom wants his voice to be heard too” and predicts that this sudden shift will result in proposal planning becoming the next big trend. “We have seen that it has become more and more about the proposal itself and not so much about the ring anymore.”
“And with the rise in social media, the need for proposals to be bigger and better than ever before is a constant struggle and concern for men who just don’t have the time, or know how to create this magical moment, and get that yes, and that’s where we step in.”
Working closely with each of their clients, La Fête is able to ensure that they not only enjoy the event in question, but also the entire process by helping them to create unique experiences, unforgettable memories and make their dreams come true no matter how intimate or lavish they want to go.
Charlotte loves making the impossible possible – and uses her professional experience and background in luxury fashion and events, her multicultural background and fluency in four languages to transcend borders, work globally and deliver the dream for her clients, every time, and has put together her top five tips on how to perfect the perfect proposal.
1. Make sure it’s what she wants – listen to any hints that she drops as she is giving you all the information you need to start creating. 
2. Stay calm - most men in the 24 hours run-up to the proposal start to act bizarre. Resulting in them often getting caught out or annoying their future fiancée and ultimately running the magical moment.
3. Be sure of yourself - if you feel like she is the one, then she probably feels the same too so don’t worry and just enjoy the moment.
4. Plan ahead - make sure you have planned the entire thing from start to finish. Such as dinner, followed by a late-evening stroll to your favourite spot where you will propose. Don’t improvise in-between moments because you will probably end up doing it in the worst place possible and ruin all your hard work.
5. Ask for help – not only can we at La Fête support you in this life-changing decision, but we can make sure that you do it in the best and most enjoyable way possible for all involved.
