What are the most romantic ways to propose? 5 ideas

If you’re thinking about proposing soon, you’ll likely be thinking about how you should pop the question. There are lots of ways to ask the biggest question, be it with a grand gesture or something more intimate. Here, we go through some of the most romantic ways you can propose, to give you some inspiration. 

If your partner is a homebody… 

If your partner is most comfortable while in the house, or doesn’t like to be the centre of attention, why not propose in your own home? Just because the proposal is at home doesn’t mean it can’t be special. You could order dinner from her favourite restaurant, or even go the extra mile and hire a private chef for the evening. Then, after a beautiful, relaxing evening, pop the big question! 

If you have a ‘special place’… 

Do you and your partner have a ‘special place’, be it a restaurant, a destination, or even a hiking trail? Maybe it’s where you first met, or the bars you frequented while dating? No matter where or what it is, your partner will find it so romantic to be proposed to in ‘your’ place. 

If your partner loves to travel… 

If your fiancée-to-be has the travel bug, why not propose in a new destination? Choose their ‘bucket list’ destination and make it the trip of a lifetime. Alternatively, if you have a favourite holiday together, re-create it – the addition of a proposal will only make the country even more special to you as a pair. 

If friends and family are important to your partner… 

If your partner’s friends and family are very important to them, it might be a good idea to include them in the proposal, so the celebrations can get immediately underway. You could book a weekend away with everyone staying (either secretly or not!) or arrange a large dinner for everyone to join. If you wanted everyone to join you on your big day, but wanted to keep it a complete surprise, you could propose on an occasion where everyone is already there celebrating – such as Christmas or their birthday. 

If your partner loves an occasion… 

If your partner loves a ‘big’ moment, why not hire an event planner to help you with your surprise? They can decorate a hotel room, an event space, or even your own home, prior to your arrival. Opt for fresh flowers, lots of candles, romantic music, and even perhaps a neon sign, or oversized letters spelling out your message! Remember to get a friend to take lots of photos – or even hire a photographer – to capture the moment, and to remember forever.
