Why Is Valentine's Day So Popular For Proposals?

Love me, love me, say that you love me! February 14th is the most romantic day of the year and one of the most popular days of the year for proposals. But just why is this one day out of 365 so popular? Laings are here to investigate the truth behind the romance...

MEMORABLE

Of course, any day that you choose to propose on will be pretty memorable, but a Valentine's Day proposal will become a real landmark in your calendar. The international day of romance will become truly personal and special to you. Make a proposal that will go down in history with a show-stopping ring like this Signature 18ct Yellow Gold 0.50ct D VVS2 Round Brilliant Diamond Ring.

UNEXPECTED

Bear with us, here! Valentine's Day is currently the third most popular day of the year to propose on, making it, arguably, a bit of a cliché. This might just throw your partner completely off the scent! Take full advantage of this and pop that all-important question. Present a breathtaking ring to complete the surprise, like this Signature 18ct White Gold 1.02ct F SI1 Emerald Cut Diamond Ring.

CUTE

Like it or not, proposing on Valentine's Day is pretty darned cute. Shake off your inner cynic and embrace that this day is a celebration of love! Whether or not you're into the lovey dovey stuff, there's a good chance your partner might be. Surprise them with a super sweet proposal on this ultra romantic day. Why not go all out and cover your house with rose petals and candles, for that thoughtful touch. A cute proposal needs a cute ring - we like this Signature 18ct Rose Gold 0.70ct H VS2 Round Brilliant Diamond Ring.

HOLIDAY

Arguably the best way to propose is while getting away from it all on holiday. You can whisk your other half away on a romantic Valentine's Day getaway - and they will have no idea that it's anything more than just a holiday. If you choose someplace sunny, then it would be rude not to pick a ring to match. This Laings Platinum Yellow Diamond Trilogy Ring is the perfect way to keep the sunshine with you all year round.
