We understand that planning to propose might be stressful. But before everything, make sure you and your spouse are truly prepared, and then pick the ideal lab grown diamond jewellery ring to pop the question with. Finally, and most crucially, you must select where everything will take place. There are endless alternatives for settings to propose, but some stand out more than others.
From far-flung tropical getaways to unusual spots, these proposal destinations are sure to earn you that “yes” you’re looking for.
Paris
The City of Light is without a doubt one of the most romantic destinations in the world, so this is no surprise. The Eiffel Tower and one of the numerous magnificent bridges that cross the Seine aren’t the only wonderful sites to propose. Paris has so many lovely hotels that a private in-room proposal may be even more memorable.
Venice
The historic city on the sea has been afflicted by flooding in the past, so plan your visit while St. Mark’s Basilica and the Rialto Bridge still offer a stunning backdrop for a proposal.
Hawaii
Any of Hawaii’s eight islands would make a stunning setting for your proposal. Adventurous couples may organize their engagement around the stunning natural setting, taking advantage of all the thrilling outdoor activities available on the islands. Climbing volcanoes might be amazing, but nothing compares to the exhilaration you’ll feel when your soul mate accepts to spend eternity with you.
Bali
On the other end of the scale, you may spend a whole day just trying to get to your proposal location, which in Bali would be well worth it. Yoga, surfing, traveling, pampering, and wellness—there are many activities to do in Bali, which expands your options to propose. Whether you choose an old temple proposal or a private one at your lovely resort, your spouse will be delighted.
Bahamas
Many celebrities have chosen the Bahamas as the location for their proposal. If it’s good enough for Jennifer Lopez, it’s ok for us. This Caribbean resort is about as travel-worthy as it gets, with magnificent beaches and lovely weather practically all year.
Fiji
Vanua Levu is Fiji’s second-largest island and less touristic than the others. When you combine it with the island’s stunning natural nature, you have the perfect setting for a romantic proposal. You’ll have no trouble locating an intimate, picturesque, and Instagrammable location to propose here.
New York
While the Big Apple has some well-known spots to propose (Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Times Square), there are plenty of options to be unique here. Several stunning restaurants, rooftops, and seaside places would be ideal for a proposal.
Niagara Falls
If you haven’t figured it out yet, any location with beautiful natural scenery can be used as a proposal background. Not only does it reduce preparation and setup time, but also the breathtaking beauty of nature will set the tone for that magical moment when you drop down on one knee.
Sydney
Sydney is undoubtedly a best-of-both-worlds tourist destination. Here, you may enjoy the elegance of city life while still experiencing the laid-back beach feel. Whether it’s the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, or the Harbour Bridge, there are several proposal possibilities in Sydney—and you can’t go wrong no matter which one you select.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh may not be the first destination that springs to mind when considering where to propose, but its medieval alleyways and stunning rocky scenery provide a quirky setting for popping the question.
Las Vegas
Sin City is more renowned for its wedding venues, but the elegant high-rise hotels and lively Strip make for memorable proposal locations. Plan a private in-room proposal in your luxury suite, and then celebrate with food and a performance. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, the Nevada side of the Grand Canyon is truly stunning.
Tips To Planning The Perfect Proposal
Ensure you are on the same page
This may sound simple, but before you start strategizing, be sure you’re both thinking about marriage. Discuss with your partner about the future. Tell them that you hope to marry one day and ask whether they see marriage in their future as well.
Concerned about having this talk feel too much like a proposal? Keep it wide by mentioning your best friend’s recent engagement and introducing it that way. Is this a difficult conversation? Yes. But hopefully, you’ll leave with a sense of what your spouse will say when you open the ring box.
Inform the parents
Old-school? Yes. Important? Maybe. It largely depends on the family. If your spouse has intimated that you should ask their parents for their hand in marriage, do it.
That does not imply that your companion is anyone’s property, however. Try something like this: “I am completely in love with your son or daughter, and we want to spend our lives together. I want to propose and would like you to be included in this wonderful time.”
Buying the engagement ring
The engagement ring is a piece of jewelry your spouse will wear every day for the rest of their lives, so get a feel of what they truly enjoy. Take images of the jewelry they wear every day, go through their Pinterest boards, or ask a close friend or family member for help narrowing it down. When it comes to jewelers, get recommendations to ensure you’re buying from a reputable business with excellent service and ratings.
Last but not least, figure out their ring size. If it isn’t a secret, simply ask. If you’re looking for a surprise, inspect your partner’s jewelry. Find a ring that they wear regularly (and note which finger it goes on). Then, either bring it to a jeweler or measure how far it fits on your own finger. Many jewelers can also make an accurate approximation regarding your partner’s ring size based on their height and weight. And there’s always resizing.
Keep the ring safe from the moment you receive it. Invest in insurance and then find a secure location to keep the ring until it’s needed. When you’re ready to propose, safety is paramount. Ensure that the ring is securely placed in a zipped pocket or in the box, where you can easily retrieve it without dropping it.
