Christmas Proposal!

Are you thinking of proposing this Christmas? Well, there’s only 28 days to go, which doesn’t give you much time. So why don’t you save the moment to get down on one knee for under the mistletoe?

Romance is in the air this festive season, following the announcement of Prince Harry’s engagement. So, Nick Withington, at Vintage Jewellery specialist William May had this to say:

“If you’re planning to propose, then picking the ring you’re going to do it with is the most important decision. You can convey so much in a ring; it stands for who they are as a person, so don’t be afraid to really go for something different if that’s what suits them.

“You only get to propose to your partner once, so make sure everything is perfect and that all the right elements are there. There’s a true art to picking the ring and with the festivities in the air and families already getting together, what better time to pop the question than Christmas? “

Christmas is already a truly exciting time, the presents, the Christmas dinner and the mulled wine will all contribute to create that perfect ambiance for you to pop the big question. Here are our top 3 ways to propose on Christmas Day:

1. Placing the engagement ring at the bottom of your partners stocking will enable your other half to find the ring themselves, giving them the ultimate feeling of excitement.

2. Placing the engagement ring in its box on the Christmas tree open. This will catch your partner completely off guard as they won’t be expecting the engagement ring to be the first thing they see when entering the room.

3. Our last pick, is the traditional way. Getting down on one knee and asking your other half to marry you!
