She’ll Say Yes to These Incredibly Romantic Proposal Ideas

Shell+Say+Yes+to+These+Incredibly+Romantic+Proposal+Ideas

Many of us fantasize about our lover dropping to one knee and asking that question. But where do you do it?

It could be over an intimate candle-lit dinner with the Eiffel tower sparkling in the distance. Or it could be a classic proposal laid out in rose petals.

Don’t worry, we’ve got more proposal ideas where that came from. Here are some to inspire you.

Take a Hike to the Top

Calling all adventure lovers!

One of the more exciting ways to propose is when you’ve made it to the top of the mountain and you’re drinking in the view. As the endorphins are kicking in, why not propose? You could even stop to catch your breath at the top, get down on one knee and wait for your partner to turn around.

Go on a Scavenger Hunt

Low on marriage proposal ideas?

Hide clues around town that lead your partner from one clue to the next. For your final clue, make it count. For example, you could place it near a boat-for-hire stall, take out a rowing boat and pop the question on a clear blue day.

Get Your Chef’s Hat On

If you’re not sure how to propose and you’re worried you’ll be a nervous wreck, focus on your partner’s hobbies. For example, if they’re a foodie then prepare a multi-course dinner starring their favorite foods with an engagement ring for dessert. Who could say no to that?

Have a Pooch Proposal

One of the most romantic ways to propose is by getting your furry friend involved. If you’ve got a pup, train them to help pop the question. Not only it is adorable but it is unexpected and proves to your fiance-to-be that you’ve put plenty of time into executing the perfect proposal.

Share a Moment on the Ferris Wheel

If you’re stuck for engagement ideas then a Ferris wheel is your answer. Take in the views as you propose from the very top and make sure your loved ones are waiting at the bottom.

Embrace the Power of Music

Get a choir, brass band or a string quartet to show up for a surprise performance of your partner’s favorite song in a park or public location. If you can, ask the performers to add your fiance’s name to the lyrics.

Before you propose, make sure you have the perfect ring. Browse a selection of rose gold diamond engagement rings to ensure your fiance-to-be has a timeless band that she’d be proud to wear.

Which of These Proposal Ideas Are Your Favorite?

Even though it’s daunting, have fun with your proposal ideas. They don’t always have to be lavish but you must focus on your partner’s passions, hobbies, and imagine their perfect proposal. And before you pop the question, hunt down the perfect engagement ring. Good luck!
