Last-Minute Proposal Tips
Jan
It is the season of love, as approximately six million couples in America get engaged on Valentine’s Day. Who can blame them? It is one of the most romantic holidays of the year. While some people plan out how they will propose, others are more spontaneous. In some cases, it is a last-minute decision. No matter the reason, we want to help. Check out these last-minute proposal tips.
Pick a Solitaire Ring
Since you decided to have a last-minute proposal, you may not have had time to pick out a ring. No problem! You can find beautiful solitaire rings that can work for anyone. Solitaire engagement rings have one diamond and a simple or unique band. Typically, these rings do not have many different band color choices, but you can find them in silver, gold or rose gold. These rings are perfect for people who want to choose a unique decorative crown later. Plus, solitaire rings are a little more affordable than custom rings. So, if you are on a budget, then this is the best ring for you.
Choose a Pre-Set Ring
If you do not have time to pick out every detail of the ring, especially the setting, then you need to go with a preset ring. A preset ring is an engagement ring that already has a diamond or gemstone mounted in the setting. Just like solitaire rings, preset rings tend to be more affordable because there is no customization or personalization. Mark’s Diamonds has a spectacular selection of preset engagement rings like this Diamond Engagement Ring.
Go With Bold Colors
If the person you love is bold and outgoing, then, reflect that personality with the engagement ring you choose. You do not have to go with the traditional diamond when choosing a ring. Instead, you can pick a different gemstone. Whether you go with your love’s birthstone or favorite color, there are so many different stones that come in a variety of colors. Plus, if you go with a ring that has a different gem, the ring is usually already made and does not require any additional time to create. However, you can still customize or personalize these types of pieces if you have the time and budget.
Keep It Simple
You do not have to go all-out to have a great proposal. Some of the best proposals are simple. You can keep it to just hanging around the house, taking a walk in the park or even eating at your favorite spot. Even if you are keeping it simple, you can still set the mood with wine, candles and even music. For crafty individuals, you can even create additional props that can go with your proposals like t-shirts, a sign or anything else you can create. If you are musically talented, you can even write a song expressing your love or serenade your sweetheart. No matter what you decide to go with, your significant other will love it.
Make It Personal
Make your proposal more meaningful by making it personal. This option is great, especially if you were not able to customize or personalize the engagement ring. Pick out a location or event that is important to your significant other or you as a couple. A few examples go to where you had your first date or your favorite restaurant. That way, when you get down on one knee, it will be an amazing experience for both of you.
Really a great piece of advice! I know the last-minute proposal usually starts without any preparations. So when this is the case, your blog can help make them prepared as more as possible. Thank You, Liz!
