As the Okanagan settles into that magical “in-between” season — when the last autumn leaves glow against fresh mountain snow — something romantic happens. The crowds have thinned, the city slows down, and every light strung up across the valley feels like a secret whisper that the holidays are near.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to pop the question, November is it.Before the Christmas rush, before venues fill up, before everyone’s calendar disappears into parties and travel plans — November offers the sweet spot for a heartfelt, beautifully intimate proposal in the Okanagan.

🍁 1. The Calm Before the Holiday Rush
There’s a serenity to November that you won’t find in December. The wineries, parks, and lookout points are quieter, meaning you can plan a private, stress-free proposal without competing for space or attention.
Whether it’s a lakeside setup at Sanctuary Gardens, a cozy indoor scene at a Winery, or a candlelit terrace overlooking snow-dusted vines, you’ll have room to breathe — and time to savour the moment.
At Pickadilly’s, we design proposals that reflect this peaceful season — using Real Touch florals and soft candlelight to create a warm, intimate setting perfect for saying “yes.”
🎄 2. Early Festive Charm Without the Crowds
By mid-November, the Okanagan begins to sparkle. Restaurants and wineries start decorating, Christmas lights flicker to life, and the air feels full of anticipation. You get the charm of the holiday season — without the December chaos.
This makes November ideal for couples who want that holiday magic in their photos: golden tones, twinkle lights, and cozy textures that hint at the season ahead.
Our ‘warm-winter transition’ backdrops are designed exactly for this moment. Picture a romantic mix of champagne roses, soft burgundy hydrangeas, and winter greenery, styled to flow from autumn’s warmth into holiday elegance.

💍 3. Family Is Near (Perfect Timing for the Big Reveal)
November often means family gatherings — whether it’s Thanksgiving in Canada or just pre-holiday visits before everyone scatters for December.
That makes it the perfect time to propose privately and then celebrate together soon after. Imagine announcing your engagement at a family dinner, with everyone gathered around the table. The joy feels amplified, and the photos? Unforgettable.
We can even style a cozy at-home or indoor proposal scene, complete with seasonal florals and candlelight — so your loved ones can walk in right after the “yes.”
🕯️ 4. Beautiful Light and Cozy Ambience
The shorter days of November bring something photographers love: soft golden light.Whether you’re planning an outdoor proposal at sunset or an indoor setup with hundreds of flickering candles, the season naturally lends itself to romance.
Our Real Touch floral installations capture that glow beautifully — their lifelike petals look incredible in both natural and candlelight, and we tailor every colour palette to your vision: think rich merlot, blush, and ivory blending perfectly with warm lighting and holiday décor.
🎁 5. Start the Holiday Season Engaged
Imagine walking into December already engaged — enjoying every Christmas event, every family gathering, every sparkling celebration as fiancés.
You skip the December proposal stress, book your dream wedding vendors early, and get to celebrate all season long without a secret weighing on your heart.
That’s the beauty of a November engagement: it starts your holidays on the most meaningful note possible.
