Brace yourself ’cause they’re coming- the holiday proposals. In case you were wondering why you’re seeing ‘I said yes’ posts all over your Instagram feed or engagement ring advertisement on TV, it’s because we’re about to be in the thick of proposal season. By that, we mean a whopping 40% of engagements happening from November to February—perhaps it’s the holiday mood that gets people going. And who’s to say it won’t be you this year? To make your long-awaited moment run as smoothly as possible, here’s what you need to do!
Opt For Packages

Let’s face it. This is a huge moment for you and your S.O. The butterflies in your stomach are already making you nervous wondering she will say ‘yes’ or not. You want to stay calm and be completely immersed in the moment rather than worrying if the setup is perfect or not. We recommend turning to the experts. Companies like The Yes Girls thoughtfully help you create your dream proposal taking care of everything from choosing the venue to logistics to capturing the perfect picture.
Select A Sentimental Location

The location you choose can elevate your proposal to memorable, meaningful, and epic. So, choose wisely. This doesn’t mean you have to fly your sweetheart to the Eiffel Tower (it won’t hurt if you do though). Meaningful locations can be close to home, too. For example, it could be the restaurant where you had your first date, the rooftop bar where you shared your first kiss or the spot where you first said “I love you.” Going back to that locale now as the setting for your proposal signifies that your relationship has come full circle. This romantic and intimate apartment setup created by the team of London-based Luxury Romance and Proposal Planners – One Romance is making us go mad about love.

A proposal is but a mere few seconds of euphoric high but it will also be the moment you go from dating to future husband/wife. Professional photos offer a beautiful tangible keepsake for this life-changing moment. Having this part of your story captured will mean being able to relive it for years to come and reminisce on what a beautiful surprise it was for you both!
Make It Personal

When it comes to planning your proposal, think about the type of proposal your partner will love, whether it’s a grand gesture, an intimate moment, or a surprise surrounded by family and friends. Ponder about your partner’s likes and dislikes. Like if she likes to go out during the morning or night. You can plan an element from his/her favorite movie, play songs in the background from his/her favorite singer, or play a video sharing blessings from their family.
Social Media Sharing Strategy

Okay, this is something couples have to carefully plan these days. Millennials love to post on social media and it has to be done strategically. It gives immense joy to the family who’s far away to see your big moment through pictures and if done right, it will catch the eyes of some well-known wedding publications (who wouldn’t like to get featured on DWP Insider, right!). So make sure your photos are professionally shot, accompanied by some heartwarming captions for your spouse-to-be. Experts suggest using relevant hashtags to increase the reach. Tag the vendors associated and few wedding blogs to make sure they check your posts.
All the best! Love DWP!
