A Brilliant Proposal: Vince & Sooah

August 23, 2011

Vince came to me at the very last moment. He wanted an amazing proposal for his fashion-loving, NYC girl but didn’t know how to pull it off.  With the city and fashion as my inspiration, I found the super-exclusive penthouse the Mondrian SoHo for their backdrop. With floor-to-ceiling windows and a wrap-around patio, it was the chic and sophisticated city location Vince had been looking for.

For personalized elements, I designed a shim with the iconic I Heart NY t-shirts in Sooah’s favorite color, pink and added a contrasting white t-shirt customized to say I Heart Sooah. Three ice sculptures of the most recognizeable structures in New York City on a spread of the day’s New York Times newspapers and shades of pink ribbon created a subway map art piece using their pictures as stops along the way. A personalized classic yellow taxi cab and an MTA Train Status key were created just for Vince & Sooah’s big moment.

When Vince got down on one knee, Sooah said “Yes!” Next stop on their train?  A wedding! Click here to watch their video.
