Twinkly Lights, Strawberries, and Love in Every Detail

A Cozy, Queer Proposal at a Cafe in Arlington, Texas

This surprise proposal at a charming cafe in Arlington, Texas was everything Darcy loves — twinkly lights, strawberries, nerdy touches, and intentional details that made the moment uniquely theirs. Planned by Kassidy with love and a little help from Hey Love Studios, this cozy evening proves that a proposal doesn’t need to be extravagant to be unforgettable.

When Kassidy reached out to plan a surprise proposal for Darcy, we knew it would be something special. Darcy’s style leans toward twinkly lights, warm colors, and meaningful touches, so we set out to create a space that felt like her. From Polaroid memories collected throughout their relationship to a strawberry-shaped ring box, every element was chosen to reflect their love story. The cafe provided the perfect backdrop — intimate, warm, and filled with the comforting aroma of coffee. We arrived early to set up, adding fairy lights, thrifted vases with fresh flowers, and framed photos of their happiest moments together. Kassidy’s plan was simple but heartfelt: create a space where Darcy would instantly feel loved, seen, and celebrated. When Darcy walked in, the sparkle in her eyes said it all. Between laughter, happy tears, and the quiet “yes” that changed everything, this proposal was exactly what they dreamed of — low-key, deeply personal, and overflowing with joy. After the big moment, we captured candid portraits in the cafe and even added a few Polaroids to their growing collection.
Planning a proposal can feel overwhelming, but Darcy and Kassidy’s night is proof that it’s all about the love you share. Whether you’re envisioning a grand gesture or a simple, intimate moment, Hey Love Studios is here to help you make it unforgettable.
