Summer Proposal Ideas That Will Make Them Melt

Summer Proposal Ideas That Will Make Them Melt

The nice weather, shining sun, and that glistening diamond as you pop the question. Picture it in your head. It’s almost too good to be true!

Summer is one of the best times of the year to ask the one you love to spend the rest of their life with you. Forget the typical sunset at the beach proposal you’ve seen a thousand times in the movies. They're beautiful, but they've been done before. Looking for something unique? Hot temperature puns aside, our team put their heads together to come up with a list of the most romantic and memorable ways to ask the big question that will make your partner melt.

Take it to the skies.
Whether it be a hot air balloon as the sun goes down, a helicopter ride over the rolling valleys or city skylines, or even a private plane ride over the coast, taking your proposal to the sky is a unique and unforgettable way of beginning a lifetime of memories.

Lace up your hiking boots.
Throw on your hiking boots, find a favorite trail, mountain, or park,  but be sure to also securely store your ring somewhere, so you’re ready to ask the question. 

To spice things up further, head up the mountain or trail a day early and use stones to spell out “Marry me?" and together take in the beautiful scenery this world has to offer as you propose. 

If ascending into the mountains isn’t your thing, find a beautiful, flowing waterfall. While your partner is taking in the rushing cascades, get on one knee and ask them for their hand in marriage. 

Or, turn your proposal into a weekend-long adventure with a camping trip. Pitch a tent and get a campfire going, and pop the question while you’re both reminiscing about memories together and looking ahead to future ones as smores roast.

Have a cute picnic.
We’re sure you know about a really adorable field nearby or even a local wooded forest that radiates calmness and tranquility. Pack up a special meal, perhaps the one you both ate on your first lunch date, and bring along a bottle of champagne to toast to your love. A picnic basket is also ideal for safely hiding the ring box among the sandwiches and desserts to make sure it’s really a surprise. 

Hit the water.
What’s more relaxing than spending time with your partner in a lovely rowboat or canoe as the sun sets? Light some candles and pour a glass of wine as you enjoy some private time on a calm lake together as you ask the exciting question.

Be prepared.
Before embarking on your proposal journey, it’s worthwhile to do some planning. Check the weather report and make sure it’s not going to be pouring rain while you’re on the water or that the skies will be clear on your special hiking day. Book a photographer in advance and keep them up to date with the plan as well if you want your proposal to be remembered in pictures, or at least have a friend nearby with a camera.

Bring bug spray and sunscreen, and don’t propose during the middle of the day when the sun is beating down because nobody wants to be drenched in sweat when they put on their engagement ring for the first time!

Well, there you have it — you’ve got the ideas, and we’ve got the ring. Stop by Dondero’s Jewelry today at 2439 N Delsea Dr, Vineland, NJ 08360, and let us help you pick out the perfect ring to make your summer proposal one you’ll both cherish forever.
