When Is the Best Time to Propose?

The festive season through to Valentine’s Day is a wonderful time to plan a proposal. Christmas brings loved ones together, New Year’s Eve offers a chance to celebrate new beginnings, and Valentine’s Day is dedicated to romance.

There is also data to support the popularity of this period. According to the Easy Weddings Australian Wedding Industry Report 2025, 13% of engagements in its 2023–2024 survey took place in December, with 7% occurring between Christmas and New Year.

Christmas Day, Christmas Eve and Valentine’s Day are also among the popular dates for couples to get engaged.

If you are planning to propose this summer, now is a great time to start thinking about your location and how you want to create your special moment.

Why Choose Our Lawn for Your Proposal?

An outdoor proposal offers a natural backdrop for a moment you will remember for years to come. A lawn provides space to personalise your plans, whether you picture a simple, heartfelt proposal or a carefully arranged surprise.

Imagine getting down on one knee, asking the most important question and celebrating the answer together. You could incorporate flowers, a thoughtful setup or a photographer to capture the moment.

The best proposal is one that feels personal to your relationship. With a little planning, you can create an experience that reflects your story as a couple.
