Christmas is fast approaching! If you’re looking for seasonal proposal ideas then look no further…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and there’s nothing like some pre-matrimonial magic to bookend the year. Although the hustle and bustle of Christmas can be a stressful time for many, the season is undoubtedly beautiful and can act as the perfect backdrop when popping the question! If you’ve been seeking ideas for a fantastic festive proposal, then look no further: here are our top 5 favourite engagement ideas for the Christmas period.
1. Amorous Advent Calendars
Who doesn’t love an advent calendar? There’s nothing better than running downstairs each frosty December morning and feverishly opening the door for the day, wondering which tasty treat lies in wait. With that being said, what if there was a way to combine this festive favourite with your engagement plans? In a modern twist on this tasty tradition, many aspiring proposer’s are creating custom advent calendars, replacing the daily sweets with sentimental notes that lead up to a big surprise on the 25th – an engagement ring! This lovely, albeit slightly long-winded, proposal trend is the perfect way to build anticipation to the big question.
2. A Lightshow for Lovers
If a dazzling backdrop for your proposal is what you desire, then opting to pop the question under the glimmering ceiling of a festive light display should certainly be the move. Across the country, various counties and cities host Christmas light displays, curating a merry meeting for everyone in the surrounding area. If you and your partner like the idea of doing it big for your proposal, then there’s scarcely a more grandiose gathering point for you to get on one knee! With the shimmering sparkles of Christmas cheer beaming overhead, the future couldn’t be brighter for you and your love.
3. Sensational Starlight
If the soft sparkle of winter starlight sounds more appealing than the previously mentioned synthetic option, you’ll find that an evening spent stargazing amidst your local snowy vistas is a tantalising option. There are several ways to make a simple evening spent staring at the stars into the ultimate Christmas-themed proposal. Head out to your favourite spot, set up a comfortable tent or picnic-style seating arrangement and simply wait for the perfect moment! The snowier the setting, the better, in our humble opinion so if you have the chance to align your proposal with the powdery stuff, then take it!
4. Love in Lapland or Sultry Slopes?
Set off to the slopes for a truly sensational, seasonal proposal. Christmas is almost certain to be an expensive time of year for many, so don’t feel pressured to provide a spectacle (the sentimentality is what really matters) but if you do have the expendable income, jet setting to the snowy slopes could be the right move. Whether you choose to escape to the alabaster hills of a ski resort or the overtly Christmassy Lapland, beginning the journey of a lifetime in either of these frosty choices will make for a proposal to be remembered. We can’t think of anything more romantic than asking to tie the knot under the watchful gaze of snow-capped mountains or amidst the twinkling branches of frosted pine trees after a dog-driven sleighride, can you?
5. Mistletoe Matrimony
Keep things quintessentially Christmas by asking for your partners hand in marriage underneath the mistletoe. This dangling plant is often associated with romance and has been for what seems like forever, so symbolically there’s nothing more festive and romantic. Popping the question beneath the mistletoe is an easy way to keep your proposal properly festive, with your nearest and dearest gathered around to bare witness to the special moment.
These are our top picks for fun, festive engagement options but there are certainly many more that could be conjured up? Which merry pre-nuptial agreements sound the most appealing to you? Let us know!
