How To Plan The Perfect Wedding Proposal

Select A

Sentimental Location.

It may be the restaurant where you had your first date, the rooftop bar where you shared your first kiss or the location where you uttered "I love you" for the first time. Returning to that location as the backdrop for your proposal represents a full circle in your love.

Hire a professional photographer.

He or she can linger around near your proposal location and secretly take fantastic images of your proposal moment. Expert photographers understand how to capture the light, make your setting appear even more spectacular, and position themselves exactly to snap a priceless portrait of her expression as she discovers what's going on. Investing in professional photography is a popular trend right now.

Surprise her by having family and friends share in this moment.

They might be with you right now, at a family gathering or holiday dinner. If you want the proposal to be just the two of you, you may arrange for your closest loved ones to be just out of sight, perhaps from a nearby vantage point. After you've proposed and she's said "yes," invite everyone in for a huge group hug and congrats. It's the best of all worlds: you get a nice, romantic moment alone, followed by all of your favourite people sharing in your delight.

Incorporate music.

Do you have a song that means something to both of you? Or does she recall the first song to which you ever slow-danced? (You can ask her discreetly without revealing your plan.) A catchy melody in the backdrop lifts your proposal to "unforgettable" status.

Speak from the heart

You may plan anything, but it's the words you speak that genuinely distinguish your proposal. Tell her everything you like about her, but also when you realised she was The One. If you informed your best friend after your first date that you knew she'd be a big part of your life, include it in your proposal "speech." Then, discuss what you hope to share with her in the future.
