Winter can be such a magical time and is never short on romantic settings when you have twinkling lights, hushed snowscapes, and dark, cozy evenings. If you didn’t pop the question over the holidays and don’t want to wait until Valentine’s Day, don’t fret as this time of year gives you the most beautiful backdrops to create your perfect proposal.
Perfect Ways to Pop the Question
- Plan an Ice Skating Date:
A picturesque rink with the ice sparkling all around is a great setting to drop to one knee while on the ice! - Sleigh Ride Romance:
Invite your significant other on a sleigh ride through a beautiful wintry landscape. This is a great idea if you want to make this a more private moment while taking in all the beauty and romance of a winter wonderland. - Ski Trip Engagement:
You can ask when you’ve reached the bottom of a mountain together and then head to the lodge and have your friends and family waiting to celebrate for an even bigger surprise! - Fireplace Proposal:
Create an intimate setting just for two in front of a roaring fire with soft blankets and your favorite champagne. - Cabin Retreat Weekend:
Book a weekend away at a snowy cabin location where you can have a private and memorable moment. This is perfect if you want to celebrate by yourselves and bask in the bubble of bliss before sharing the news. - Movie Night Engagement:
Curl up with your favorite wintertime movies. Create a romantic setting or even copy the scene from Love Actually with posterboards and seasonal music. - Create a Campfire:
Sitting outdoors under the stars and in front of a warm campfire is a great way to reminisce about your love story. Celebrate after the “yes” with champagne and s’mores! - Day in the Snow Engagement:
Enjoy a walk through a snowy forest and even make a snowman before dropping to one knee amidst the perfect snowscape all around.
Keep These Tips in Mind
Winter can be a bit fickle so make your plan with these tips in mind:
- Be flexible if the weather doesn’t cooperate. It may be too treacherous to head out or you may need to wait until that perfect snowfall is forecasted.
- Cater it to your significant other’s tastes and what fits your personalities as a couple. If a public proposal isn’t his or her style, then go for something more intimate.
- Hire a photographer especially if the setting is in an open area where they can be hiding and ready to snap the perfect pics.
Your engagement will be memorable no matter what you choose, but adding a few personal details or including something that is a personal connection to your journey together will really make it special. Once the ring has been placed, don’t wait to protect it with personalized jewelry insurance! This is only one of the things we recommend doing after you’ve gotten engaged.
