Thinking about popping the question this summer? Now that the sun is officially shining, we’ve got 5 perfectly unique ways you can make it memorable and a moment they’ll never forget! From the simplicity of proposing in the park to popping both the question and a bottle of bubbly on a boat, there are so many amazing ways you can make your summer proposal a special one, and we’re here with all the best ideas ready and waiting for you to turn that dream into a reality!

Planning a summer getaway? This could be the perfect opportunity to get down on one knee! But this by no means, means your proposal must be cliché. If you’re staying in a hotel or at a resort, chances are they’ll offer their own proposal packages that essentially do a lot of the hard word for you. From designated areas to your own private chef or an exclusive beachfront table, there’s an array of different options you can opt for when proposing on your special holiday together. Have your own plans and ideas for how you want to propose on holiday? Where you’re staying will usually do all they can to help accommodate these ideas too! So don’t be shy when asking for a little help or advice in getting it just right. Our top tip is to make sure someone’s on hand to capture the moment, why not make it extra special and buy a retro camcorder or film camera to keep those memories on file forever. Plus, the beauty of a holiday proposal is all the opportunities to celebrate after too! Order a bottle of champagne to the room or plan an extravagant breakfast to be delivered to the room for the morning after to add that extra special touch.

Does your bride or groom-to-be love to keep things simple? If so, the park could be the ideal spot to get down on one knee. What’s special about this kind of proposal is the thought into the little details you can put in to make it a moment they’ll never forget. Find all their favourite food and snacks and pile them into a picnic basket, along with a blanket, a mini speaker to play their favourite music on and of course a bottle of something sparkling to mark the occasion. Another special touch you can add to this kind of proposal is if you can plan timing accordingly, you could even invite some friends along to celebrate with you after they’ve said yes! Our top tip is to try and time the day just right and sit somewhere a little high up, so you can watch the sunset together to celebrate together in orange-skied bliss.

Do you have a certain city that means a lot to both of you? Whether that be London, Paris or somewhere a little further afield, planning a special city break to propose to the person who means the most to you could be the golden ticket to a successful proposal. Capital cities are known for their allure and charm, and the beauty of a capital is there’s always some kind of monument or spectacle around the area which can be the place where you pop the question! Get down on one knee whilst the Eiffel Tower sparkles and shines just like their shiny new engagement ring, plan a boat cruise around the Danube in Budapest or throw a penny into the Trevi Fountain in Rome, the possibilities really are endless. Plus, they’ll make for an incredible picture-perfect moment they’re sure to never forget.

You can’t beat a proposal on the water, especially in an idyllic setting, and if you or your partner love to be beside the seaside or out in the open water, this could be the ultimate way to pop the question. Plan a private boat trip for you and your spouse-to-be and make a real day, or even weekend of it. With many private boats, you should be able to make the most of the packages they offer, whether that be food, drink, a private photographer and much more. Pick a picturesque location and opt for an early morning sunrise trip or a dinner at sunset vibe, this way you can add that extra element of bliss to your proposal, as you sail across the water ready to embark on your new adventure as fiancés.

A little more on the wild side of the proposal scale, show them just how much you love them with a spontaneous trip up to the skies! Yes, you heard us right. You can in fact take your proposal to the next level and pop the question in a hot air balloon! Perfect if your wife or husband to be loves big adventures, this could be an incredible way to mark the start of your engagement journey together. Often, you can pay for a private experience too, so whilst you float above the skies with your own private panoramic views, you should be able to find the perfect moment to ask for their hand in marriage. With most hot air balloon rides, you can inform the company of your plans beforehand, and arrange a special surprise at the end too like some celebratory bubbles! Up and away, you go.
