6 Must-Haves for a Perfect Proposal

Sure, there’s no such thing as the perfect copy-and-paste proposal idea, but there is a perfect proposal for each and every one out there! And every one of those perfect proposals has six shared elements:

1. The Perfect Blessings

In Singapore, getting the blessings of your to-be-fiancé’s parents is a very vital first step to a perfect proposal. However daunting this may seem, do be sure to make an effort in this regard. Don’t worry, most parents—even if they seem rather rigid at first glance—are very approachable, and would more-than-likely be happy that you’re including them in your proposal plans.

2. The Perfect Ring

Of course, getting the right ring is just as important for a perfect proposal. Like it or not, most women in Singapore have good estimates on when their partners are going to propose — perhaps not the exact date, but the rough period of time. As such, you should be looking out for any dropping of hints to do with the kind of ring she likes. 

If you’re unsure, however, it’s a relatively safe bet to go with your gut feel as long as you know your partner’s tastes well. But if even that feels like too much of a risk, feel free to go with something classic and elegant instead.

Regardless, remember to always ask about exchange policies, and also get the right measurements for your partner’s ring finger! 

3. The Perfect Location

Choosing the perfect location doesn’t just mean picking out a nice place; the spot you select has to hold sentimental value as well. It could perhaps hold a special memory shared between the two of you, or symbolise your shared plans for the future.

And you don’t have to break the wallet just to get the perfect location for your perfect proposal—like booking out her favourite restaurant or taking her to her favourite travel destination—it can simply be the shore of her favourite beachside, or the place the two of you first met.

4. The Perfect Props

To further personalize your location of choice and incorporate your desired ambience into its natural elements, you’ll need the right props! The Interior Collections offers prop rental services that you can engage to get the perfect signage, candles, fairy lights, and more; to bring to reality that perfect proposal idea you have in your head! 

5. The Perfect Words

Amidst all your other preparation efforts for your perfect proposal, be sure to remember to pen down what you want to say as well! 

This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to prepare an entire speech. In fact, for those who fear tripping over your own words in that crucial moment, you can also consider compiling a nice video or slideshow to do your speaking for you (but, of course, those four special words have to come from your own lips!). 

6. The Perfect Proposal Flowers

Every proposal needs flowers, and the perfect proposal calls for the perfect proposal flowers. It doesn’t matter if its fresh flowers or preserved flowers, or whether you’re shopping for them in-person or ordering the flowers from an online shop— in Singapore, if it’s truly a perfect proposal you’re looking for, you’ve got to have flowers! 

So, before your proposal date, be sure to Google for “flower shops near me” and be well prepared!
