Tips For Planning A Mesmerizing Proposal

Finding your perfect life can make your life better in more ways than one. For example, they can help you get through difficult times by lifting your spirits and bringing a smile to your face. Alternatively, they could bring out a whole new side to you that enhances your confidence and encourages you to chase your dreams.

While getting married may seem like a no-brainer, especially if you’re deeply in love, proposing can still be a stressful event. Not only will you deal with the traditional proposal jitters, but you’ll also have to find a way to make the proposal romantic and meaningful. After all, this is a moment you’ll remember for the rest of your lives. 

With that in mind, here are some top tips that you can use to plan a mesmerizing proposal! 

  • Find the ring. The ring is perhaps one of the most important aspects of the proposal – but not for the reasons you may think. Despite the common idea that you have to spend a lot on a wedding ring, it’s more important that you find one that suits your partner’s tastes and styles. After all, this shows them that you truly know them inside and out and that you’ve put a lot of thought into the proposal itself. For example, you could browse these different diamond cuts in order to find the right fit. Don’t be afraid to go for something non-traditional if you find that it represents your story or your partner well! 
  • Think of the location. When it comes to planning a memorable proposal, you’ve also got to think carefully about the location where you get down on one knee. For example, public proposals can be a great declaration of love, especially if you choose a stunning backdrop, but they may not be the best if your partner is shy. In fact, some 69% of people would prefer a private proposal, which is hardly surprising considering it’s an intimate moment between yourself and your partner. Alternatively, if your partner is close to their family, you might want to plan a low-key proposal where loved ones can be present to share in the magic (and snap some pictures of the big moment). 
  •  Keep your cool. Many people plan to propose several months in advance of the big moment itself – especially if you’ve got a specific date, such as an anniversary, in mind. While this can be a great way to help you save up for the ring and similar costs, it also gives you plenty of opportunities to spoil the surprise. As a result, it’s important that you keep your cool during this time. While you should engage in your usual conversations about the future, try not to talk too heavily about weddings or proposals as they may catch on. If you’ve bought the ring in advance, you should also find a good place in your home to hide your engagement ring, such as in an old suitcase or the bottom of a sock drawer.
