To many guys, the idea of romance is a foreign concept. Creating a romantic marriage proposal is even more foreign to them because there’s a lot of pressure these days to create a good proposal and they don’t have a clue about romance to begin with. Romance isn’t actually that hard and there are several factors that you can include into your proposal to make it more romantic. Here is a list of ways to add romance to your proposal idea.

Flowers

This is the centuries old tradition that will never cease to be romantic. Providing your partner, or the venue, with flowers gives it a beautiful look and smell. Flowers like roses, lilies, tulips, and hydrangeas are great ways to add romance to your proposal. Another option is rose petals sprinkled around your setting.

Candles

When you think of a romantic setting, is the lighting usually florescent? Of course not! The lighting is usually dim. The best way to get this effect is to have your event in a darker setting (at night or indoors) and use candles. Not only do candles create the perfect dim setting, the fact that they flicker and sometimes smell nice give the setting the perfect romantic atmosphere.

Personalized Pictures

Adding your own pictures to your proposal will make the event personalized. If it’s personalized then that shows that you are being thoughtful and have made the event more special. This is especially true if you have a surprise element and have the event in an unexpected area like a beach or rooftop.

Amazing View

Speaking of beaches and rooftops, a great way to add romance to your proposal is simply by choosing a romantic view. Some good locations are hilltops, rooftops, hiking trails, waterfalls, beaches, and open parks. The better and more serene the view, the more romantic it is.

Thoughtful & Meaningful Items

This is the more difficult part but it has the most impact. If there is something meaningful to your partner and you include it in your proposal, it will be extremely romantic. For example, if she loves a certain type of jewelry, and you include it in a way that surprises her, it will go perfectly with the mood.
