MARIE GABRIELLE GARDENS
A secret garden in Dallas, this 1.5-acre paradise features a French-style restaurant and event space that’s perfectly manicured with trees, water features, and pathways. A sunset proposal is ideal with the string lights illuminating the place in the most beautiful way!
Harwood District | Directions
DOLCE RIVIERA
If an Italian garden-themed proposal is more for you, head just a few blocks away to this coastal Italian oasis surrounded by lemon trees, fountains, and pergola-loving vines.
Harwood District | Directions
SAINT ANN
Another Harwood District venue, this restaurant has a lovely fountain feature at the start of its space that gives off those ethereal garden vibes from Taylor’s proposal. Toast after with a glass of wine under the strong lights of Saint Ann’s expansive patio!
Harwood District | Directions
FLIPPEN PARK
Quite possibly the most charming park in Dallas, this spot hidden in Highland Park is a photographer’s dream with a stunning fountain that sits under a gazebo, surrounded by all the flowers and plants! For the most Taylor-esque moment, pick spring to maximize the blooms.
Highland Park | Directions
THE DALLAS ARBORETUM & BOTANICAL GARDEN
An obvious, but necessary choice! Here, you’ll have ample options for the perfect bend-the-knee moment, whether it's next to the millions of tulips that bloom in the early spring or the rose garden that comes alive in the fall.
White Rock | Directions
ARLINGTON HALL
This huge lawn and colonial home that overlooks Turtle Creek has a stunning, ornate gazebo that can be decorated with as many florals as Taylor’s altar had, to bring the special day to life (whether wedding or proposal!)
Turtle Creek | Directions
ROSE GARDENS OF FARMERS BRANCH
For anyone preparing to propose soon, one of the best matches for the same style proposal would be this lovely rose garden with over 500 different varieties. You’ll feel like you’re in a fairytale, getting lost in the colorful bushes.
Farmers Branch| Directions
LOVESHACKFANCY
For the girliest version of Taylor’s proposal, the exterior floral display at Love Shack Fancy in Highland Park Village would be a great choice! While privacy would be limited, the photos would be on theme!
Highland Park| Directions
RH ROOFTOP
For an option without all the florals, but still leaning into a garden setting, head up to the RH rooftop restaurant and then walk out those doors to their well-groomed and stunning exterior patio space!
Knox | Directions
FORT WORTH BOTANIC GARDEN
In Fort Worth, this Botanic Garden has 23 specialty gardens to choose from for the perfect moment, whether Japanese, rose, cactus, orchid, perennial, and more!
Fort Worth | Directions
