You\u2019ve decided it\u2019s time to make things official and put a ring on it \u2013 congratulations! Planning a proposal can feel overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ve got you covered with a super simple, step-by-step guide to planning the perfect proposal.<\/p>\n

\"\"\" Flytographer Vito in Venice<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Decide whether or not to ask for a blessing.<\/strong>
\nSome people are super traditional and others prefer to throw tradition to the wind. Depending on the situation, you\u2019ll probably want to seek some kind of blessing from a close family member or friend. Traditionally, the father or the parents of the bride are the ones to give this, but your best bet is to seek it from your honey\u2019s closest family member. And if your future bride or groom is of the untraditional variety, feel free to ask a close friend or skip this entirely. It\u2019s your proposal and wedding, after all, so it should be unique to YOU<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2. Choose a meaningful location.<\/strong>
\nThe location you choose can elevate your proposal to memorable, meaningful, and epic. So, choose wisely. This doesn\u2019t mean you have to fly your sweetheart to the Eiffel Tower<\/a>. (Of course, we don\u2019t think anyone would complain if you did.) Meaningful locations can be close to home, too. The key is picking a location that means something to the two of you. It could be as simple as the restaurant where you had your very first date or as elaborate as planning a surprise flight to where the two of you met and studied abroad together<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Pick the ring.<\/strong>
\nChoosing a ring is another important piece of the proposal equation. If you haven\u2019t had the ring discussion and want to keep the proposal a complete surprise, a trusted friend or parent can be a huge help here. Even if they don\u2019t know your future bride or groom\u2019s preferences, they can be put to work doing some undercover sleuthing for you. If your sweetie is on Pinterest<\/a>, it\u2019s worth checking for clues there, as well.<\/p>\n

4. Make it personal.<\/strong>
\nDoes your girlfriend love going out for a night on the town? Or does she prefer quiet nights in? Let these clues guide you to the perfect proposal! Think about what your significant other loves and incorporate that into your proposal. Maybe that means your proposal will centre on a night out at the theatre or going to see your favourite band play or perhaps it means a quiet weekend camping for just the two of you. No need to complicate things \u2013 you already know everything you need to know to plan the perfect proposal.<\/p>\n

5. Capture the proposal.<\/strong>
\nThe moment he or she says yes will be one of the most important in your lives. Hiring a proposal photographer means you\u2019ll be able to share that moment with friends and family for years to come. Capturing your proposal isn\u2019t just for the extroverted among us. Depending on your style, your proposal photographer can remain completely unseen, capturing the proposal quietly from the sidelines, or can be more involved. Added bonus: our team of proposal specialists will be with you helping to plan the details every step of the way and can help with lots of great tips and local suggestions, learned from planning hundreds of proposals. You\u2019ll have your own personal proposal squad cheering you on.<\/p>\n
