The Christmas season is full of joy, magic and excitement. With all the fun and high spirits, what better time to pop the big question? It's actually one of the most popular times to propose, and we can see why!
At Austen & Blake, we share in the celebration of proposals year-round. We’re here to help you create the perfect engagement ring and inspire you for your big moment! If you’re looking for a little extra magic, a festive proposal could be a heartwarming moment you’ll both remember forever.
Here we share some creative and super romantic Christmas proposal ideas to inspire you.
Why propose at Christmas?
Besides the amazing atmosphere of the holiday season with the decorations, lights and music, a proposal during this busy time might catch your partner off guard for the ultimate surprise.
You may also have your own traditions during the season. Incorporating a proposal into these moments can make them even more personal and significant to you both. It’ll also be easier for you to remember the special date for years to come too!
As family and friends often meet up over this time, it’s also a great opportunity to share your news or even include them in the proposal if you’d like.
Need the perfect Christmas engagement ring?
We’re here to help! Here at Austen & Blake, every piece of jewellery is custom-made by our expert craftspeople. We collaborate with you to design your perfect ring. You’ll be involved at every stage of the process and your engagement ring is truly unique to you and your story.
Get your finger size measured correctly
A comfortable fit is key for an engagement ring. If you’re unsure, you could ask a trusted friend or family member if they know your partner’s size. Alternatively, you could borrow a ring they already own to measure.
If you're not planning a surprise engagement, you can request our free ring sizer here. While not completely accurate, it’s useful for estimating your partner’s ring size.
Don’t worry if the ring size is wrong. Thankfully, most engagement rings are adjustable. It happens all the time, so that’s why we offer a free resizing service within 30 days of purchase.
Indoor Christmas proposal ideas
By the fireplace
Pop the question in front of a crackling fireplace on Christmas Eve. The warmth and soft glow will create a romantic ambience perfect for the big question.
Under the Christmas Tree
The Christmas Tree is synonymous with the season, and with its twinkling lights and beautiful decorations it’s the perfect backdrop for your special moment.
Advent calendar proposal
If you’re wondering how to propose on Christmas morning, why not create an advent calendar filled with love notes and small gifts? Behind the final door, place your ring box.
Mistletoe proposal
A mistletoe-themed proposal is both charming and traditional. Try hanging mistletoe somewhere strategically and surprise your loved one with a kiss, followed by a heartfelt proposal.
Outdoor Christmas proposal ideas
Winter wonderland proposal
We’re not just talking about the fair in London! If we have a White Christmas, take a romantic winter walk through a local beauty spot for a snowy, picturesque setting.
City lights proposal
Take an evening walk through the glittering city lights and holiday decorations in your local area. It'll be a truly magical moment under the glimmering lights!
At a Christmas market
Head to your local Christmas market to soak up the festive atmosphere. From warming drinks and foods to Christmas carolers, there’ll be plenty of holiday cheer. It can also become a special anniversary tradition!
Proposal tips & considerations
Timing & planning
Timing is crucial. The right moment can transform a proposal, so plan every detail carefully, from ring selection to location setup. Having a well-thought-out plan ensures everything runs smoothly and will help you feel confident. Don’t forget to include meaningful personal touches, such as a sentimental location, a favourite song or flowers they love.
Capturing the moment
Mark the occasion with photos or videos. Seek help from a trusted friend or hire a professional photographer for beautiful, high-quality images. You could also consider videos as they can capture the raw emotions and reactions. Either will make a beautiful keepsake.
Think about what type of proposal they would like
Magical and meaningful, Christmas proposals are a special way to create an unforgettable moment. Spirits are running high this time of year and everyone will be ready to celebrate your good news!
Here at Austen & Blake, we can help you create the perfect engagement ring for such an important milestone. We hope these proposal ideas at Christmas have helped inspire you. It’ll be a truly special Christmas with memories you’ll treasure forever!
