Winter Proposals
Winter is a really popular time of year to propose – and no wonder! There’s something truly magical about this time of year and there’s definitely a sparkle in the air. It’s the time of year to show those you love how much they mean to you and what better way to do this than a beautiful winter proposal!
Here’s our top winter proposal ideas, and the rings that could be the main attraction…
Spell It Out
Everyone loves a flurry of snow at Christmas time and if you’re lucky enough to wake up to a layer of the white stuff then take advantage of it! Write the magical words ‘Will you marry me?’ in the snow and create a truly dreamy winter morning. This is also a fantastic idea if you’re headed on a winter holiday! Write it on the slopes as she skis towards you or have it written under a chairlift as she heads up the mountain – so romantic!
The Tacori Platinum Petite Crescent 0.83ct Diamond Ring will definitely sparkle in the snow! The brilliant cut centre diamond is surrounded by a cushion-shaped diamond bloom creating a really dazzling look. The diamond set band adds an extra sparkle to the scene and the stunning ring is finished with the beautiful Tacori signature crescent detail.
On Christmas Day
Christmas Day is wonderful time to propose, all the family are gathered and ready to celebrate! You can get really inventive with this proposal aswell and there’s so many ways to pop the question! You could go for the box-inside-the-box-inside-the-box approach, or hide a ring box at the bottom of her stocking, pull an extra special cracker with her or even act out your own charades after dinner!
Red is a really Christmas-sy colour so stick with the theme and dazzle her with a gorgeous ruby ring! The Laings 18ct White Gold 0.87ct Oval Cut Ruby and Diamond Ring is a wonderfully romantic design with the cluster of diamonds perfectly emphasising the oval ruby. The magnificent gem will remind her of this perfect Christmas every day she glances down!
Christmas Shopping
Don’t avoid Christmas shopping this year and instead why not plan a day to go and get all your presents sorted – just don’t tell her you have an ulterior motive! Lead her into the glittering Argyll Arcade, Glasgow and create a surprise proposal. With the Christmas decorations glittering and the windows filled with sparkle it's a fairy-tale spot. She’s then in the perfect place to pick her ring and we know just the one…
The Signature 18ct Yellow Gold 0.90ct Brilliant Cut Diamond Ring will definitely catch her eye perched in the window. The yellow gold creates a classic and timeless look, whilst the glittering halo brings it up to date with the dazzling circle drawing attention to the brilliance of the diamond. This elegant design is bound to be picked out!
On the Tree
Nothing says Christmas better than a beautifully decorated tree and it’s the perfect way to set up a romantic scene. Pop some Michael Buble on, pour the mulled wine and start turning your living room into a Christmas grotto! You could hang the ring on a ribbon and pass it to her as a decoration or hang it yourself – but just make sure it catches her eye! Decorating the Christmas tree will now always mean something really special to both of you.
A solitaire ring is a traditional look that you just can’t go wrong with. The single diamond of this Signature Platinum 1.08ct Emerald Cut Diamond Ring will really shine on the tree! Effortlessly elegant in design the emerald cut elongates the finger and will look beautiful on any bride-to-be. Chic and classic it’s definitely going to make someone’s Christmas!
The Advent Calendar
An exciting way to propose this winter is to get creative and put together her own personal advent calendar! Build up to the big moment by filling every day with mementos of your time together, or of her favourite things, or even just little notes on why you love her. Then on the 24th hide an extra special gift – the ring! Just make sure you’re with her when she opens the final door…
The Signature 18ct Rose Gold 0.52ct Brilliant Cut Diamond Ring is one that she’d love to find hidden behind door number 24! The gorgeous glow of the rose gold makes it a really romantic ring, with the brilliance of the diamonds perfectly captured. The diamond set shoulders and diamond halo give it a little glitter for Christmas!
