Top Outdoor Locations for Making a unforgettable Proposal

Getting your girl to say ‘Yes’ is not a simple task. Besides having the right engagement rings, and setting up the day for the big event, you may also wish to consider the choice of location. Proposals are meant to be romantic and memorable. Getting it right means paying attention to things that are often overlooked: in this case, the external surroundings. Besides opting for her favourite part of the country, city or world, for the big request, there are certain places that can connect with her, at a deeper level. Places that are more specific than a certain city or hot spot. Hence to bring out the best in both of you, as you make your special proposal, engagement ring in hand, here are a few things (and places) to consider as you move forward towards this key moment.

The Sunset Beach

Who can deny a romantic sunrise or sunset? The idea of proposing to your beloved on a beautiful beach overlooking a rising or setting sun is bound to be one of the most memorable moments you can experience. Just make sure you have the basics covered: the engagement ring (obviously), dinner or breakfast planned before or afterwards. And if you’re planning on heading back to your hotel (if it’s not nearby) the right transport and something to keep the spirits high during the journey. The basics aside, if you’re going with a beach-side engagement, it is best to plan ahead. A short drive or walk to the beach, engagement ring in hand, is not likely to do the trick. So why not book a weekend or a week, if you can, to a beachside hotel? Preferably in a tropical destination.

The warm weather, combined with the washing waters on the shore, with the sun rising or setting on the horizon, and the sight of beautiful shoreline, along with the thought of good food, and rest at the end of the evening, is bound to make the moment all the more special. Take your time, and find the right spot, before you book that special holiday. So when the time comes, with the right engagement ring in hand, you can make it work.

 A Sexy Yacht (or Cruise Ship)

If you’re looking for an escape of sort, and happen to be someone who prefers something luxurious, and exciting, then maybe an ‘out-at-sea’ proposal is the one for you. This may work in two ways. One: take the usual sea adventure route, by booking a nice cruise trip. Maybe for a week, maybe longer. What matters is that you are out at sea with your partner, and are able to share and enjoy a great time together.

Two: and if you can afford it, then why not hire (or buy!) a yacht. Unless you own one already! They’re not that difficult to come by, and depending on where you’re living, or currently staying, yachts are readily available for those who are willing to look, and for the right price, of course. A yacht engagement is as good as it gets when it comes to a hot getaway. The alone time together, under the sun, with some champagne by the side, will just add to the romantic experience.

Once again preparation is key, with the basic requirements: Engagement ring, your partner (can’t propose to yourself) and, importantly some security measures (in case something goes wrong) are all in place, it’s time to head out. Oh and remember, if you’re planning to propose by sea, where there’s always the risk of losing your precious engagement ring, it might be wise to contact your jeweller (and insurer) on providing some added precautions.

But a yacht proposal is not complete without some excitement. Why not make the engagement part of something else? Like an out-to-sea exploration: explore coral reefs or dolphin packs. The options are numerous. However, what matters is that you two are together, and as the person doing the proposing, you have planned ahead and know when it is time to propose to her.

Into the Wild

Some persons cannot be kept away from the call of the wild. The forest (or the jungle) just calls out to them. And when it comes to one of the most important days in your (and her) life, it is best that is answered. A getaway engagement to the forest, mountains, or any place where there’s a lot of green and wildlife around (not too dangerous ones hopefully), might seem simple enough. However, getting it right requires some ahead-of-time planning.

Let’s start with the basics, shall we? Does she love the wild? It’s fine if you do, but the engagement is mainly about her. You might be the guy with the ring, but the girl is the point of focus when it comes to proposing. Find out what kind of outdoor locations she is actually into. So that when picking a spot, don’t go for the most obvious location. Find a place where there’s something to do. For both of you: together. Again safety is the main concern. And whatever you do, keep an eye out for anything wild and dangerous. And in case things get out of hand, have some emergencies, including communication (other than your mobile phones) at hand.

Above all, make sure to have a good time, for what matters is that your location of choice works for both of you, as you share a memorable engagement, and hopefully set your sights on your big wedding day. For which a more secure location is likely to be more suitable.

Conclusion

When doing anything that concerns the outdoors, health and safety are of prime concern. For a start, it is best to have an eye on the weather. Especially if you’re planning a tropical vacation/engagement. Things can change very swiftly in the tropics, especially around coastlines. Also, as the reader may know, in the present pandemic world, where health and safety are of special concern, it is best to have a wider understanding of the factors that relate to engagement rings buying, including when it comes to picking jewellers and the services they are able to provide in these challenging times. All the best.
