HOTEL PROPOSALS IN MELBOURNE
Hotels are widely considered one of the best places to propose in Melbourne. Some of our personal favourites too! Hotel spaces are private, weatherproof and you can follow on from your proposal with a romantic night’s stay! Below are some of the best hotels for a Melbourne proposal.
1. The Langham Melbourne (our top pick!):
We cannot get enough of The Langham Melbourne! Their Executive Terrace Suites are designed with timeless, elegant touches and expansive windows to give you the ultimate view of Melbourne. The stunning terrace balconies are large enough for a grand proposal setting and provide breathtaking, private views of the city skyline. It is no wonder that The Langham Melbourne and their Executive Terrace Suits are the perfect combination of intimate and impressive.

OUTDOOR PROPOSALS IN MELBOURNE
Do you fancy an outdoor proposal amongst flowers, trees or the beach? If so, an outdoor location will be more suited to you when proposing in Melbourne. So, below are some of our favourite outdoor proposal locations for you in Melbourne.
1. Parks and Gardens:
Parks and gardens are such a picture perfect and romantic location for proposals and Melbourne has so many to choose from. These locations lend themselves to some perfect proposal ideas, like a romantic picnic for two under the stars, or a tree covered in fairy lights for a fairytale backdrop!
2. Melbourne Beaches:
Picture having a romantic lunch with your significant other and ending the afternoon by taking a sunset stroll along the beach, with water views and a blissful sea breeze setting the scene. A picnic spread for two, a cheeseboard, wine, comfy cushions, and a bouquet of flowers strategically placed along your walk will make for the perfect surprise proposal idea. After you get a “YES”, take a moment to enjoy the beautiful sunset views with your new fiancé, with a glass of champagne in hand.
3. Melbourne Rotundas:
If your partner is looking for a little more privacy and still likes the outdoors, Melbourne features a lot of beautiful rotundas around the CBD, to cater for your proposal needs. The magical thing about Melbourne’s rotundas is most of them are undercover which provides two positives for your proposal; firstly, protecting you against the uncertainty of Melbourne’s weather and secondly, they provide a little privacy. So, no matter the weather; rain, hail or shine you’ll get your perfect outdoor proposal.
PRIVATE VENUES
Some of the best places to propose in Melbourne are in private venues. Venues offer a private proposal location for you and your partner, without the public interest in your special moment. So, below are a few of our favourites proposal venue ideas.
1. Melbourne Wineries:
What could be more romantic than a weekend away with your soon to be fiancé where you surprise them with a gorgeous proposal setting and toast to your new chapter with a delicious bottle of wine? We are taken in by Melbourne’s country town charm, rolling hills, picturesque vineyards, and hatted restaurants. Pack your bags and set off to the Yarra Valley where you’ll be swept away and enticed with quality local food and wine with breathtaking scenery and the pop of a question. The scenery ties in perfectly and romantically with a winery proposal, just add in a fine dining experience, rose petals and red carpet to your set up.
2. Melbourne Rooftops:
When we thing Melbourne, we think “Melbourne rooftop proposal”! Picture waiting on your loved one to come up the lift for a proposal surprise on one of Melbourne’s many rooftops. Against the city lights setup a ‘WILL YOU MARRY ME?’ neon light up sign, surrounded by candles, rose petals and even fireworks for the ultimate melbourne rooftop proposal. Pop the question and take in the moment celebrating success!
UNIQUE PROPOSAL IDEAS IN MELBOURNE
Maybe you would prefer something a little different that will make your partner jump for joy after you pop the question. So, below we have suggested a few unique romantic ideas, for a Melbourne proposal:
1. Melbourne Igloos:
Take a sip of champagne, cosy up with your new fiancé and indulge in your own private Igloo setting. Romantic Igloo proposals can be set in a gorgeous park, on the beach or can be a wet weather option. Make it a day proposal decorated with gorgeous florals on the inside of your igloo or add fairy lights to really set the romantic mood for a night-time proposal, followed by a gorgeous dinner setup for you both inside.
2. Luna Park Melbourne
If you’re a kid at heart and thrilled by rides and amusement parks, then proposing in Luna Park could be one the best places to propose in Melbourne for you! Surrounded by fun and love, Luna Park offers a perfect mix of romance, fun and vibrancy to your proposal. Imagine your partner entering Luna Park, thinking it’s just a fun day out, heading towards the famous carousel to find a red carpet, covered in red rose petals and candles and of course, YOU standing at the end of the aisle waiting to pop the question. After the ‘YES’, spend the day together enjoying fairy floss and fun!
