As we prepare for warmer weather, also prepare for your proposal! Here are four ideas perfect for spring.

1. Florals. Go for a walk in your local gardens, or seek out your nearest botanical, for a chance to watch as spring comes into full swing. When you find the prettiest spot (pre-determined, if you can, with someone waiting to snap some shots), get down on one knee.

2. Take a Hike. As the weather warms up, there’s no better time to enjoy the outdoors– especially if you love doing that sort of thing together! Get out in your gear and enjoy some views. When you reach the end of your trail, you know what to do! She’ll have a hard time hiking back because her eyes will be glued to that ring on her finger.

3. Zoo Date. Arrange for a behind-the-scenes date at the zoo and find a feature where you can be around her favorite animal (as long as it’s not dangerous, that is). Feed the penguins or giraffes, or maybe get in to see the elephants. Whatever you can do, it will make your proposal that much cuter.

4. Roadtrip. Not warm where you are? Don’t panic! Plan a surprise road trip. Don’t tell her where you’re going, but pack a basket of snacks and little hints as to where you’re headed. You could make a playlist that for the road reflecting your relationship/destination, and make stops along the way where you buy little things so she can always remember the perfect trip/day/proposal.
