Asking your partner to marry you is a momentous occasion and picking out the perfect place can be daunting.
Where do you go? How do you know when it’s the right spot? We’re here to help! And no, you don’t need to travel all the way to a cliche proposal destination like Paris to make it happen (though that’s never a bad idea).
From romantic getaways to scenic cityscapes, there are plenty of spots close to home that are sure to make your proposal extra special. Let’s break down some of the best places for proposing.
Romantic Getaways
Sometimes, the best way to make a proposal extra special is by whisking your significant other away on a surprise weekend getaway. Whether it’s a beach destination or a romantic bed & breakfast, getting away from it all and focusing on each other will only add more meaning and romance to your big moment.
When planning a romantic getaway, consider factors like weather, budget, location, and time of year so that everything goes off without a hitch.
Scenic Cityscapes
If getting away isn’t an option, then why not take advantage of what’s already around you? A scenic cityscape provides endless opportunities for creating the perfect backdrop for your proposal.
The view from atop an observation tower or balcony makes for breathtaking photos as well as an unforgettable experience. If you want to take things up a notch, consider adding in elements like petals strewn along pathways leading up to the spot or even arranging for a flash mob performance!
Garden Spot Proposals
If you want something more natural and intimate than bustling cities but still don’t have time for a full-fledged vacation, then why not consider proposing in a garden?
Gardens provide plenty of beauty without all the noise and distraction of busy streets—perfect if you want privacy while still having an amazing backdrop! Whether it’s botanical gardens or private parks, nature’s beauty can provide just the right amount of magic needed to make your proposal truly memorable.
At a Special Place
Maybe there’s somewhere special that has sentimental value for both you and your partner? It could be somewhere like where you had one of your first dates or perhaps where they proposed in an alternate universe (if they weren’t actually the one proposing).
This type of setting gives off an intimate feeling because it brings back memories from both sides that will make it even more meaningful.
Plan for Photography
Your proposal will be one of the biggest moments of your entire life. You’ll remember this day just as much as your wedding day.
With your wedding, you’re definitely going to have photos taken. But many couples don’t get photos taken of their proposal. But engagement photographers are able to make this happen super easily.
By choosing a spot and time in advance, your photographer can secretly wait for you two to arrive and capture photos of your proposal as authentically as possible. Doing this allows you to have photos yet still maintain the element of surprise.
Make Your Proposal Unique
Your proposal should be as unique as your relationship; there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to choosing the perfect place.
But with our guidance, and maybe a bit of love, we hope that you find that dreamy spot that will make your engagement even more meaningful! With careful consideration and thoughtful planning, any place could turn into that magical spot where two become one.
