As the weather heats up and the wedding season rolls around, many people will begin thinking about how to perfectly pop the question to their significant other. An outdoor proposal is one of the best ways to make the most of the warmer temperatures and colourful summertime scenery, allowing you a stunning canvas from which to create the proposal of your dreams.
If you need a little inspiration, here are three creative ideas you’ll want to consider for your proposal.
Choose a hot air balloon
Just imagine soaring off into the sunset (or sunrise) with your special person by your side – it’s equal parts romantic and exciting. With breathtaking views and the privacy to have an intimate proposal, your hot air balloon proposal is sure to be magical.
Make sure to chat with your balloon pilot prior to booking your trip, as you’ll need them to be fully clued up on your plan. They may be able to provide you with inspiration and answer any questions you have, and likewise, you can tell them any details you need to – such as where abouts you’d like to pop the question, and how much room you’ll need to get down on one knee.
For a top tip, plan your balloon ride to travel over some meaningful spots – this way, you and your love can look down over the place you had your first date, or first took a trip, prior to popping the question. It’s the perfect way to set the mood for your proposal. Find out about all the balloon flights we offer at this link.
Pack a romantic picnic
To elevate your experience, consider packing a picnic complete with your love’s favourite treats. Finger sandwiches, strawberries, bitesized cupcakes and a cool beverage – or hot tea – will make your proposal just that little bit sweeter. Just make sure the snacks you bring are easy enough to eat while you’re standing, so you can continue to enjoy the scenery below.
For a top tip, remember to bring something along for the post-proposal celebration, such as a bottle of champagne. Another option is to have a dinner table set up and waiting for you once you land, so you can enjoy the romantic dinner experience long into the night.
Plan for beautiful photos
For such a special occasion, it’s important to get excellent photos that capture the moment perfectly. However, there are some practical considerations to keep in mind, such as how much room you’ll have to work with, and whether or not you’ll be able to keep your proposal photography discreet enough to not foil your plan.
If you’re planning on hiring a professional photographer, make sure to address each of these concerns before booking, so you know exactly what to expect. A great option for proposals in the air is to DIY your photography, by capturing selfies of you both throughout your trip or setting your camera up in a discreet corner to get the perfect shot of you getting down on one knee.
No matter which little details you choose to make your proposal unique, choosing a hot air balloon ensures a stunning outdoor proposal with a good dose of creativity. Leave yourself plenty of time to plan this special moment, to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.
