How to Propose on Holiday

​Why propose on holiday?

​

1. Romantic Atmosphere - Holidays naturally bring relaxation and joy, making them an ideal time to propose. With beautiful scenery, stunning sunsets, and new experiences, you can create a truly memorable moment.

2. Reduced Stress & Distractions - A break from the usual routine means fewer work and life distractions, allowing you both to be fully present in the moment. This creates an opportunity to focus on each other and the importance of your proposal.

3. Unique Proposal Setting - Whether it’s under the Northern Lights, at the top of the Eiffel Tower, or on a secluded beach at sunset, holiday proposals provide picturesque and unforgettable settings.

4. Built-In Celebration - After the proposal, you can celebrate in style; whether that’s with a candlelit dinner, a champagne toast, or simply soaking in the joy of the moment in a special location.

What to think about before proposing on holiday?​

​

• Choosing the Right Destination - Think about a place that holds special meaning for both of you or one that aligns with your partner’s dream destinations. Wherever you choose, it will become a special place for both of you.

• The Engagement Ring - Our stunning moissanite engagement rings sparkle brilliantly in any setting. A moissanite ring means you don't need to worry about travelling with an expensive engagement ring and means you can choose your perfect forever ring together. Your moissanite ring will remain a memory of your proposal and the location.

• Discretion - Think about where you'll store the ring while you travel, especially if you're flying. If it's in your pocket expect to have to take it out when going through the metal detectors, think about something you could hide it in like a wallet. If it's in your luggage, make sure you don't lose it! Our rings are supplied in slim ring boxes, making them more discreet to travel with.

• Your Partner’s Preferences - Some people love grand gestures, while others prefer something more intimate. Consider their personal preferences when picking the perfect place and time.

• Weather & Season - Make sure your proposal plan suits the climate of your destination. A proposal on a beach might not be ideal during the rainy season! Remember that if it's hot, people's fingers tend to swell a little so your partner's finger may be a slightly larger size than usual, this is partly why our adjustable size rings are our best sellers.

• Capturing the Moment - If you want to capture the moment you pop the question, consider setting up a discreet camera to record the special moment. If you're really organised, you could arrange for a professional photographer to capture the moment.

How to propose on holiday?

​

• Sunset or Sunrise Proposal - Nothing beats the romance of a proposal as the sun paints the sky with beautiful hues, it will make for some fantastic photos.

• Landmark or Scenic Spot - Iconic landmarks, viewpoints, or lush gardens make breathtaking backdrops, but be conscious that they can attract big crowds and therefore make for quite a public proposal.

• Adventure Proposal - For the adventurous couple, proposing on a scenic hike, hot air balloon ride, or underwater while scuba diving adds excitement and makes it far more likely that you can propose privately.

• Private and Intimate - If your partner prefers something personal, propose in a quiet, meaningful spot such as your hotel balcony or a secluded beach. It's a good idea to plan something to follow up with to celebrate, like a nice meal.

Best time to propose on holiday?

​

• At the Start – Based on our own experience, this is what we'd recommend. It sets the tone for the rest of the holiday and makes it one long celebration. It also means you don't need to keep the ring hidden for so long.

• Midway – Gives time to settle into the destination and find the perfect place to pop the question, while still having plenty of holiday left to enjoy the engagement.

• At the End – Creates a grand finale and ensures a lasting memory of the trip. It also means you will soon be home to celebrate with family and friends.
