# What happens on the day of a Cloud Nine proposal

You arrive to a finished setup. The rest is yours.

By the Cloud Nine team, September 15, 2026

From the team arriving hours before you to the photos in your inbox: a proposal day, step by step.

## Hours before

The team arrives between an hour and a half and eight hours before your time, depending on the setup and access to the place. Setup itself takes one to three hours. You do not need to be there.

> Take your time. Every fresh flower is yours to keep.

## The moment

You arrive to a finished setup. Our photographer is already in position and captures the question, the answer and the portraits after. Most setups include a bottle of sparkling wine waiting for you.

## After yes

Take your time. Every fresh flower is yours to keep, and many couples take a few to dinner. Our team comes back after you leave and clears everything.

Photos arrive within 14 business days, usually 7 to 10.
