Essential Tips For A Magical Winter Proposal:
A winter proposal is magical, but it does take a little planning. December can be chilly with temperatures averaging 5 degrees so we recommend choosing stylish coats and layers that will keep you warm whilst still looking beautiful in photos. To make the most of your proposal and get the best photos it’s good to note that the sun sets early in December, around 4pm - meaning golden hour comes sooner than expected. This is often a perfect backdrop for the dreamiest proposal pictures, so is definitely worth remembering and considering.
After your partner says “YES”, you can always continue the magic with a celebration afterwards - maybe toasting with a celebratory drink at a local rooftop bar, or indulging in a festive romantic dinner at a 5 star restaurant, or even hosting a surprise gathering of friends and family nearby. Above all it is important to make sure to add personal touches that reflect your relationship. It could be a favourite song, a meaningful flower arrangement, or even a customised message, these details are what makes a Christmas proposal in London truly unforgettable.
