I'd like big marry me letters, rose petals, maybe some candles & a red carpet, can you help?
Most public locations in Nice don't allow flower bouquets, Marry Me signs, and candles as it could distract other visitors. Most of my clients appreciate a low-key approach, which keeps everything a real surprise. However, for some special touches, I can order you a flower bouquet or champagne & 2 glasses. If you need a bigger 'set up' then you'd want to contact a local proposal planner to review options.
