There’s a moment every engaged couple remembers with absolute clarity — that second of stillness right before the question, the way the world seemed to hold its breath, and the joy that unfolded the instant you said yes. It’s a story worth celebrating, and this season Lovebird is inviting couples everywhere to share how their forever began.
As the premium platform for elegant wedding guest communication, Lovebird is launching its “When You Said Yes” proposal story contest, offering engaged couples the chance to win up to $2,500 toward their honeymoon, plus a chance to be featured on Lovebird. Whether your proposal was meticulously planned, beautifully spontaneous, adorably awkward, or filled with uncontrollable happy tears, Lovebird wants to hear about it.
And as couples step into engagement season, Lovebird is also giving everyone a first look at the wedding style trends that will define 2026, showcased through their newest coordinated design suites. Think of it as inspiration for your digital wedding invitations, save the dates, and wedding website – all in one seamless place.
A Proposal Story Contest for Every Kind of “Yes”
Now through January 31, 2026, engaged couples can submit their proposal story at lovebird.com/proposals. A panel of judges will select:
- One Grand Prize Winner — the best overall proposal story
The couple with the best overall proposal story will receive a grand prize of $2,500 towards their honeymoon and the chance to be featured on Lovebird.
- Four Category Winners:
• The Most Creative Proposal
• The Sweetest Proposal
• The Proposal Plan Gone Wrong
• The Most Memorable Reaction
The couple selected for each of these categories will receive $500 and the chance to be featured on Lovebird.
Every couple’s “yes” is unique — quiet or extravagant, funny or emotional, planned or perfectly imperfect — and Lovebird is honoring them all.

2026 Wedding Style Trends to Fall in Love With
Lovebird’s newest suites aren’t just templates, they’re storytelling frameworks designed to reflect the feeling of your celebration. Here’s a preview of the styles inspiring next year’s weddings:
Storybook Romance
Think dreamy, cinematic color palettes, handwritten details, pressed florals, and just a touch of enchanted small-town magic. Emotion-forward, soft, and deeply personal, this suite feels like the opening chapter of a love story.
Rococo Revival
Pastel tones, gilded accents, silk textures, and delicately asymmetrical florals bring this trend to life. It’s indulgent but refined. “Sofia Coppola meets couture runway” in the most romantic way.
Earthy Luxe Tones
Terracotta, olive, rust, and warm neutrals pair with velvety textures, foraged-style florals, and golden candlelight. Think desert sunset meets European winery — grounded yet polished.
Old-World Glamour
Deep jewel tones, brocade, velvet, candelabras, and rich architectural motifs set the tone for a moody, cinematic celebration. It’s grand, romantic, and steeped in timeless elegance.
Soft Pastels
Airy hues, pearlized finishes, fluttering fabrics, and delicate florals create a look that’s romantic, grown-up and effortlessly editorial.
Meadowcore
Fresh wildflower shades, seed-packet-inspired details, woven textures, and breezy organic arrangements shape this elevated countryside dreamscape. Whimsical, but never rustic.
Each suite seamlessly integrates with Lovebird’s wedding websites, digital stationery, and guest communication tools, helping couples carry a consistent, beautiful aesthetic from first announcement to final thank you.
