Are you ready for it? The Knot's Enchanted Garden has since closed its gates, but the memory lives on with our photo album from the day. Like you, we gasped when we saw the proposal pictures from America's royal engagement. On September 4th (because 9 + 4 = 13), we recreated the "magical garden" from the couple's backyard proposal in the heart of New York City with the help of a few of our squad members on The Knot Vendor Marketplace.

We partnered with a wedding florist, The Floral Way, to design the gorgeous proposal gazebo that was thoughtfully prepared by our favorite gym teacher. Imagine a whimsical canopy of garden roses, hydrangea, anemone and other popular wedding flowers, all within a picture-perfect setting. To add to the fun, we offered free portraits from a wedding photographer, So Tender Is Humanity, so that you have boasting rights, especially during the holidays (full send with your cards).
The Knot's Enchanted Garden was held in Madison Square Park, ahead of the screening of the U.S. Open women's semifinals. Signage was provided by Dogwood Blossom Stationery, leading to Farragut Lawn.
Finally, if you didn't make this IRL, shake it off. Check out The Knot Engagement Era Collection, all inspired by America's pop princess with matching wedding websites, invitation suites and registry products. And don't forget to explore more vendors who can make your wedding vision shimmer.
