Leaves are beginning to change their color and there’s a scent of pumpkins and apples in the air; this can only mean one thing: Fall is upon us!
This incredible season is all about change and fresh beginnings. So, why not embark on a new chapter in your life with your partner with a fall proposal?
If you’re looking for some unique yet incredibly romantic fall proposal ideas that’ll get you a ‘yes,’ we’ve got you covered. And not just that, we’ve also found the perfect engagement rings to match your fall proposal vibe so that you can sit back and focus on planning the best proposal ever.
Let’s go!
1. In Nature’s Lap
While you can plan an at-home proposal (See: proposal ideas at home), there’s nothing better than planning an outdoor proposal for fall!
Fall brings out nature’s beauty with the orange and red leaves lighting up the surroundings. The weather isn’t too hot or cold, making it the perfect season to be outside. This allows you to plan a delightful engagement proposal for your partner.
And the fall colors look amazing in pictures, so you don’t need additional decorations for the proposal; simply choose the most picturesque location and the right time for your proposal shindig.
You can go out for a romantic stroll in the forest or enjoy a picnic at the nearby park. When you find the perfect spot, just pop the question!
Tip: Make sure you hire a photographer to capture this special moment.
Ring Recommendation:
Princess Diana Inspired Fire Opal Ring with Diamond Halo
Make your forest or park proposal unforgettable with this Princess Diana-inspired fire opal and diamond halo ring. While its floral design and orange hue will give them all the fall feels, the fire opal, a symbol of passion and love, will add sentimentality to the proposal.
A well-synchronized engagement ring proposal idea, no?
2. A Sparkling Halloween Treat
If you and your S.O enjoy Halloween, you can plan your proposal around this much-awaited festival. TBH, when you propose on Halloween, you’ll not only have that perfect element of surprise (since it’s not a holiday usually associated with romance), but it will also make for a wicked engagement story for years to come.
We suggest two ways to go about this. You could carry out the plan at a haunted house. Make sure to call the venue beforehand and strategize with them for a terrific proposal. You can become the hero by saving her from a “ghost attack” and then proclaim your love by going down on one knee and presenting her with the engagement ring. Alternatively, you could trick or treat them, followed by giving them the ultimate treat of the year, i.e., the engagement ring.
Ring Recommendation:
Natori x Angara Hexagonal Black Onyx Triple Shank Ring
Exuding all the witchy vibes of Halloween, this bold and edgy black onyx stunner is apt for a Halloween-themed proposal. Plus, black onyx is believed to provide protection and mental well-being to its wearer.
3. Do It at a Corn Maze
A corn maze proposal is an a-maze-ing and utterly romantic way to propose for several reasons!
Yes, it is certainly a creative way to pop the question, but it is also a great activity to do together. And trust us, she’ll be so focused on finding her way through the maze, she’ll never see it coming.
You can plan a date to your nearby corn maze and suggest playing a game of hide & seek. When she’ll be the seeker, go down on one knee at a planned location with the ring in your hand, taking her by complete surprise when she finds you! Invite your friends and family too if you want them to be a part of your celebrations.
Ring Recommendation:
Cushion Diamond Infinity Twist Ring
You and your partner would have navigated all the twists and turns of the corn maze and literally, maze’d it together. A cushion-cut diamond infinity ring like this will perfectly capture the mood of the moment and will let them know that you’ll be with them through all the twists and turns that life throws at the two of you!
4. Football Mania
This one’s perfect if you and your partner are die-hard football lovers!
With the football season underway, you are definitely going to watch a few matches together. So, why not take your partner to the stadium for one of the games and propose to them there? Talk to the camera team before the match so that the kiss cam focuses on you during half-time. With the whole stadium watching and cheering for you, ask them the all-important question. Your team might win or not but it’ll definitely become the most memorable night for both of you!
NOTE: Remember that all eyes in the stadium will be on her, so you may want to rethink this one if your partner is shy at heart.
Ring Recommendation:
Aeon Vintage Style Ruby Halo Engagement Ring
A grand gesture of love deserves an equally extravagant ring. Plus, it’s fall-perfect. Don’t you think?
5. Lakeside Love
With the perfect temperature (not too hot, not too cold) and the lesser fall crowd, a riverside or lakeside can be an amazing location for your proposal. You can take her for a serene boat ride and follow the proposal with a romantic dinner. Make sure you check the tide timings beforehand though!
Ring Recommendation:
Classic Three Stone Blue Sapphire and Diamond Ring
Let her know your love for her runs deeper than the river with this classic three-stone blue sapphire and diamond ring.
6. Go Apple Picking
Nothing says ‘you are the apple of my eye’ quite like popping the question at an apple orchard! What’s more, you’ll get to embrace the fall foliage, do something fun together and make the love of your life a super sweet and intimate proposal.
Simply make a reservation at a local orchard (or somewhere not so local for a ‘B&B’ type getaway) and make a beautiful day out of it. Once you’re done picking the apples, you can settle down in a quiet spot for a picnic, open a bottle of bubbly and seize the moment to ask for her hand.
After she says ‘yes’, you can head home and use your surplus pickings to make a celebratory dessert like a homemade cobbler or pie.
Ring Recommendation:
Round Citrine Engagement Ring with Diamond Halo
If you’re planning to declare your love under orange trees and crisp blue skies, why not include a citrine engagement ring in your proposal idea too? It’ll not only match the vibe of the season but also make your engagement pictures pop!
7. Wine and Dine
Your once-in-a-lifetime question deserves a once-in-a-lifetime proposal, and a winery proposal could help you achieve just that. It’s romantic, extravagant and can be quite intimate if planned well.
We urge you to do your research and narrow down on a winery that is well known for its fall scenery. Whisk your partner away for a private wine tasting. You two can learn about the grapes, sip on some flavorful reds and whites, tour the vineyard and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Then with the help of a little liquid courage, you can ask for her hand in marriage.
Ring Recommendation:
Pear Amethyst Ring with Diamond Halo
How about going down on one knee with the most romantic gemstone of them all – the amethyst? It’ll fit in perfectly well with the luxurious ambiance of the vineyard and complement the seasonal colors whirling around you.
You can choose any plan for your proposal, but it won’t be complete without the perfect engagement ring. At Angara, we bring you an exquisite collection of unique engagement rings and promise rings for her that will surely win her heart and make the proposal day an unforgettable experience.
