HOW TO PLAN THE PERFECT PROPOSAL STATIC

Tips to Plan the Perfect Proposal

True love can present itself in countless ways. While some have been engulfed in this love for years, others might have only found their forever recently. No matter the case, it is undeniable when two people are meant to be. Now that the time has come to get down on one knee and make it official, things can become a little less clear. Thankfully, we have the ultimate guide to making this momentous occasion the epitome of happily ever after. With over 80 years of experience, Rogers Jewelry Co. has everything you need to make your proposal unforgettable.

Secure the Engagement Ring

Getting the right engagement ring is essential in planning the perfect proposal, and therefore needs to be the very first step. Be sure to scan your partner's Pinterest page in search for inspiration, or try extracting some information from friends and family. Skim through our pages of engagement rings online and even chat live with an expert to get some guidance on ring designers, styles, diamonds, and more. Rogers Jewelry Co. offers an extensive collection of exquisite engagement rings that fit every bride's personality. From chic solitaires to glamorous diamond halos, you're sure to find a flawless ring that will last a lifetime.

Choose the Location

Find a location that holds sentimental value for your relationship. Think of the restaurant that housed your first date, the park that bloomed as you said “I love you” for the first time, or the office parking lot where you and your love first locked eyes. If spontaneity and adventure feels more in line with your partnership, try planning a getaway. A gorgeous hike with an awe-inspiring view or a sweet picnic on the beach can be just as romantic, while providing an incredible backdrop.

Plan Out the Details

Now that you've secured the perfect ring and decided on a stunning location, consider finding a proposal photographer. Capture that beautiful “yes!” moment in a way that speaks to you and your relationship. Keep things discreet and have the photographer snap unforgettable candid shots, or plan a glowing shoot for right after the big moment. Your beloved may be more shy and prefer an intimate moment between the two of you, or perhaps they adore grandeur and are hoping for a monumental experience. A beautiful way to merge the two ideas is to have your families present, waiting on the sidelines to be eagerly waved over to join in the celebration.

Prepare Your Speech

No matter how immaculately the proposal is planned, how gorgeous the ring is, or how nostalgic the location, your speech will be what makes your moment truly one-of-a-kind. This is the person you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with. The person who has been by your side through it all and who you can count on to always be there. Try not to overthink it! Write down a few ideas to help get your thoughts organized and think of that moment when your partner went from being the person you were dating to being The One. Speak from the heart, talk slowly, look into your beloved's eyes, and breathe.

Last Minute Tips

If you hope to pull off an intricate surprise, try creating a fake backstory to throw your partner off course. Wear loose clothing to limit any risk of your significant other spotting the ring box in your pocket. Try to remain flexible as life happens and things get sidetracked. With so many moving parts, be sure to only go through with your plan if it feels right. If your partner is stressed from work or recently received bad news, it might be best to put off your proposal for a few days. Above all else, give your proposal time to breathe. Avoid rushing through your speech and give your partner a chance to process, cry, and jump for joy.
