With its crisp air and gorgeous color-changing leaves, autumn creates the perfect imagery for a romantic proposal. The season of falling leaves, apple cider, and pumpkin spice is synonymous with closeness, making it an ideal time to pop the question. As the weather cools, people get closer and lean into their relationships (in my experience.) If you plan to take the plunge and propose this fall, we’ve got you covered with some fun fall proposal ideas that will make your moment one for the books.
IDEAS FOR POPPING THE QUESTION THIS SEASON
Take Advantage of the Beauty Around You
Create a trail of colorful autumn leaves leading to a hidden spot where you’ve set up a picnic.
Use leaves to spell out “Will You Marry Me?” for an Instagram-worthy proposal. The friends and family will swoon over your snaps! While that is obviously not the priority of your proposal, it’s a whole lot of fun!
Visit a pumpkin patch and carve your initials into a pumpkin.
Get down on one knee amidst the pumpkins and surprise your partner with your fall proposal. It’s a real U-pick experience elevated to the stars.
If your pumpkin patch also features apples and cider, or the best…cider doughnuts. You can playfully propose with a doughnuts and then share the real bling. It’s lighthearted and fun and shows your sense of whimsy.
Go walking in a vineyard and take in the scenery. Propose while sipping your favorite find. Maybe take in a messy but fun grape stomping experience. Stomping grapes may not be the pinnacle of romance, but it would absolutely be unforgettable. That’s a delightful experience to share, and a fun engagement story!
Find some peace and quiet with a private getaway. Rent a cabin off the beaten track and bring all of your favorite food and drinks. Unwind and unplug for a bit and enjoy each other’s presence. Propose in a quiet moment and know that it is about the two of you in this moment and forever.
