Some things never go out of style — and roses and candlelight are at the top of that list. A rose petal and candle proposal setup is timeless, warm and deeply romantic. Here’s what it looks like and how we bring it to life in Chicago.
Why roses and candles are forever
They’re the universal language of romance for a reason: soft candlelight flatters everything and sets a hush over the room, while roses and their scattered petals feel lush and heartfelt. Together they turn any space into an intimate, glowing scene.
What goes into the setup
- Rose petals — scattered across the floor, forming an aisle, or spelling out a message.
- Candles — clusters of large floor candles for that warm, cinematic glow.
- The floral heart arch as the centerpiece, packed with fresh roses.
- A soft “Marry Me” sign and a bouquet ready for the reveal.
Our Silver package is built around exactly this — ten large lit floor candles and scattered fresh petals — and it’s our most popular for a reason.

This is an indoor setup through and through — candles need shelter from wind, and the glow shines in a controlled space like a hotel suite, private room or your own home. Pair it with a full candlelit scene from our candlelit room proposal guide.
A note on candles
We handle candles safely, and where open flame isn’t allowed, we use beautiful flameless LED candles for the same warm effect. Your moment stays gorgeous and worry-free.
