The season of change is upon us — from the turning leaves to the crisp morning breeze, fall is in the air. Make the biggest change of all and take things one finite step further with your true love. Planning a proposal in autumn provides you with a beautiful, versatile backdrop ideal for a cozy, romantic moment. Think simple, yet detailed oriented and plan something your bride specifically would love. Let’s check out which ideas Rumanoff’s recommends to make your fall proposal even more special.
An Apple Orchard Engagement
A stunning and unique way to propose with the spirit of fall is surprising the love of your life at an apple orchard. With a gorgeous, colorful setting for photos and an intimate location that highlights the essence of the season, your partner will love the sweet surprise waiting for her there.
Disguise your intentions for exploring the orchard to keep your proposal a surprise. Find recipes online for delicious homemade apple cobbler or pie, and celebrate your engagement by baking together once you’re back home. Enjoy the fresh air and the intimate moments with your love as you both soak up the snug fall day.
A Romantic Carriage Ride
You can plan a storybook-worthy proposal just outside the city of Hartford at Wood Acres Farm anytime of the year. For the bride-to-be who deserves to feel like the queen she is, a horse drawn carriage is the ultimate way to shower her with love and affection.
Create the perfect, fairytale proposal as you and your love enjoy the breathtaking views of the countryside under a warm, shared blanket. Find the right moment to look your partner in the eyes, speak from the heart, and ask that long-awaited question. Celebrate with a glass of champagne or a cup of hot cocoa!
Halloween Costume Surprise
For the young-at-heart couple who loves a good laugh, an original Halloween surprise will be a fun way to add your own flair to your proposal. Before you meet your partner at your mutual friend’s Halloween party, change into an unexpected costume — slip on your nicest suit or tux and arrive, ring in hand, as a “groom.” Get down on one knee in front of all your dearest friends, or pull your love to the side for a more private moment. Seeing you already dressed for the part, she’s sure to say yes!
Explore the Pumpkin Patch
Nothing feels like honoring the spirit of the fall season quite like a visit to the pumpkin patch. Utilizing its many magical offerings, from a journey through an exciting corn maze that’ll have you and your sweetheart twisting and turning with suspense to a fresh cider-making class where you can brew up your own love potion in the spirit of Halloween.
As the two of you are immersed in building wonderful memories together, add to the joy of the day by finding a moment to ask for her hand. You can also arrange a visit to the pumpkin patch as a starting point and pop the question later that day as you’re carving pumpkins together. There’s endless opportunities for a romantic proposal here!
Cozy Cabin Getaway
Make an entire weekend out of your proposal and rent a gorgeous, intimate cabin for just you and your true love. Take them into the mountains, a campsite close by, or even to a stunning cabin resort in your dream destination. You can fill the cabin with scented candles and rose petals, and light a roaring fire to soak in the warmth.
Try to set the scene in advance or see if this is something the cabin owners or resort might help you with. Depending on what your partner might want out of their proposal, consider finding a photographer and planning a shoot around the big moment. You’ll want to be prepared with flowers, pictures of the two of you, and candles all around. The intimacy of this specific idea is sure to create a treasured memory you’ll both look back on fondly for years to come.
