It is that time of the year again where we tell you the top proposal trends of the year! So, if you are planning to propose and need some inspiration for how to blow your partner away with a grand proposal, we are here to help! Here are the top proposal trends of 2023 so far…
Proposal Trend 1: Neon Signs
If you saw the top proposal trends for 2022, you will know that neon signs have been trending for quite some time. Well guess what, they still are!
Neon signs have well and truly taken over the light up letter craze for proposal settings. They are great to add a modern and fun touch to your proposal setting without taking up much space. One of the biggest trends we have seen this year for neon signs is hanging it from a large heart frame adorned with florals. Whether you want your neon sign to say, “Will You Marry Me?”, “It Was Always You” or “Grow Old with Me”, we can do it all! Neon signs allow you to create a more specialised and personal touch to your proposal setting. Especially if you customise it to have your partner’s name or a quote that is special to you.
Proposal Trend 2: Unique Proposal Locations
This year, proposers are seeking out some of the most unique and special locations for their proposal. This is the perfect way to make your proposal extra sentimental or personable to your partner. Especially if you choose to propose at a unique location where you had your first date, first conversation or first trip away together! Some amazing unique location ideas could be an Airbnb, a library, a sentimental restaurant, a church or even a private island. We love planning proposals in unique locations like islands because there is an element of adventure involved! If you want to blow your partner away with a unique proposal location, we have a never-ending list you can choose from when we start planning your proposal with you.
Proposal Trend 3: Roses in Sand
Florals are almost always featured in proposals! Whether that be giving your partner a bouquet of their favourite flowers, rose petals leading towards the proposal setting or beautiful fresh floral arrangements creating a breathtaking backdrop for photos. However, one of the biggest proposal trends of 2023 is sticking individual roses in sand on the beach to create a beautiful aisle way!
Imagine how blown away your partner will be when they see 1,000 fresh red roses standing up in the sand as you are walking along the beach. You can then wrap up some of the fresh roses into a bouquet after the proposal moment and take them home with you as a beautiful memento of your proposal. We don’t think you can get more romantic than this!
Proposal Trend 4: Boat Proposals
Boat proposals are getting more and more popular and are definitely a proposal trend right now. For couples who love getting outdoors and being adventurous, this might be the perfect proposal idea for you! Even heading into the cooler months, you can enjoy a boat ride with snuggle blankets and a glass of champagne.
However, proposing on a boat comes with extra logistics and nitty gritty details to ensure the day runs perfectly! So just imagine, walking onto a boat and seeing it adorned with red roses, candles and a Marry Me sign. After your proposal, you can enjoy a glass of champagne and a seafood platter as you cruise around Sydney harbour. We can even fit a photographer on board with you to capture every moment!
Proposal Trend 5: Destination Proposals
Since travelling is now the norm again, destination proposals have been one of the top proposal trends we have seen this year! There is nothing more romantic than surprising your partner with a proposal mid-way through your holiday together. It is the best way to eliminate any suspicion, as they will never see it coming!
At My Proposal Co. we plan destination proposals for Australian clients going overseas. For example, just a couple months ago we planned an incredible surprise proposal in Bangkok, Thailand on top of a sky-rise rooftop. It was the PERFECT surprise proposal, as the rooftop was already on their holiday itinerary.
On the other hand, we also plan proposals for international clients coming to Australia for their proposal! It is such a trend right now, that so far this year we have already had 10 international clients fly to Australia just for their proposal!
What now?
So, now that you have an idea of the top proposal trends for 2023, you should be full of inspiration to start planning the perfect surprise proposal for your partner! We can help take the stress away and make sure it is the most special day that you can imagine. Contact us today to get started!
