Secure the ideal proposal location

When you’re getting down on one knee, trying to articulate the most loving speech you’ve been practising, it’s best to find somewhere quiet and without distractions. This would allow you to focus on each other and the big moment that is about to change your lives!

Perhaps find an intimate location in nature. Not only would it be quiet, but the lovely view would set the mood for you as well. But if you’re a couple that loves being nostalgic, consider proposing at a favourite outdoor spot you both frequent and love to visit. The perfect location would set the stage: you would easily secure that yes you’ve been dreaming of.

Preparing for the right time: the golden hour

You’ve met the one for you – what better way to say it’s time to get hitched than by popping the question right at the golden hour! So plan for a sunset date for your proposal to ease into the golden hour. Not only will the lighting turn up the romance, but it offers the perfect natural light for your proposal photos. Remember to make a site visit to find just the right spot that the golden hour will hit.

But, of course, with Malaysia's unpredictable rainy weather, perhaps also scout for a nearby pavilion or shelter nearby. So, although the weather might pose an obstacle to your picnic under the stars, don’t let it get in the way of your sweet proposal plans.

Take advantage of a pre-engagement or promise ring: LVC Pre-engagement ring

It’s common for couples to face this concern: the proposal ring doesn’t give that perfect fit you were hoping to get. So to preserve the proposal surprise and secure the right fit, consider going for a pre-engagement or promise ring before the proposal. This gives you an inside to her ring size and the designs that would flatter your significant other’s finger.

Checklist: items to bring along in your proposal basket

- Your heart-warming speech

When you’ve finally set the scene, you wouldn’t want to let your nerves get you from popping the question. But of course, it’s natural to feel a little jittery – so pen down your heartfelt speech or a couple of pointers to get you ready for the magical golden hour moment.

- A bouquet of her favourite flowers

There’s something special about flowers that easily convey emotions of love and affection – it’s a must-have in your basket. So mix and match a couple of her favourite flowers to create that unique bouquet for her to feel special and loved.

- Secure the jaw-dropping wedding ring

Of course, no proposal will be complete without the ring, which your partner will obsess over. Many say that getting the perfect ring is half the battle won! So check out these brilliant options that will radiate your sincere intentions with their brilliance.
