Valentine's Day and February as a whole, which is commonly nicknamed as ‘the Month of Love’ are quickly approaching; and there is no better way to celebrate your relationship during this time of year, than by taking the ultimate step into a lifetime of togetherness.
Below are a few reasons why we think Valentine's month is the ultimate time to pop the question as well as some of our favourite Valentine's Day Proposals Packages in London to inspire you and get the ball rolling on your planning of the big occasion!
Reasons to propose on Valentine’s Day
Romantic atmosphere – while the weather outside is still frightful, during February everywhere you go you will see hearts, flowers and love-themed decorations. From the soft glow of candlelight to the sweet fragrance of roses, the ambiance during this special time of year is tailor-made for a romantic gesture. A wedding proposal on Valentine’s Day means that the whole world will be celebrating your love together alongside the both of you.
Symbolism – Another reason why Valentine's month is an ideal time to propose is the meaning behind the holiday. V-Day is all about celebrating appreciation and commitment, so it is the perfect time to get engaged. Alike other very symbolic wedding traditions such as the exchange of rings, the first dance, or the cutting of the cake, proposing on Valentine's Day, adds an extra layer of meaning to an already hugely momentous occasion.
Forever Memories - As many couples celebrate V-Day with a romantic date experience or through presenting one another with a special gift, a proposal during the month is a great way to firstly surprise your partner as they may likely be expecting you have organised something else completely; so by having a St. Valentine engagement you will likely get once-in-a-lifetime reaction from them that would be truly picture worthy. Secondly it will mean that in the future the month of love will always be extra memorable to the both of you as you will be able to reflect on taking this big step together with forever memories, while celebrating!
