Doing everything from home is in vogue just now, and many couples are choosing to forgo more extravagant proposal plans and pop the question in the privacy of their home. Whilst some dream of a grand public declaration of love, for many couples, the perfect proposal will be a low-key affair.
There are many reasons why a home proposal could be the best option. Not only will you have complete control over your surroundings, but your partner will certainly be caught off- guard, and you can ensure you will both feel comfortable in the situation.
Even without a hot air balloon or appearance on the jumbotron, there is still lots of planning to be done in order to pull off a dream proposal from home. To get the ball rolling, we’ve come up with three creative ideas to help you devise the perfect plan.
Take a trip down memory lane . What better way to start planning the rest of your lives together than to reminisce on all the reasons that made you want to get down on one knee in the first place? Looking through photos can be a great way to set the perfect mood for a romantic, intimate engagement.
Dust off the old photo albums or have a new one made, and think back on all the memories you’ve shared together.
If you’re feeling even more creative, decorate a room or even the entire house with photos that could tell your story from the very beginning. Lead your partner around the home, ending the journey in a room where your engagement ring will be waiting. Just be sure to capture some new snaps of this special moment to add to the collection!

Bring Hollywood home
During the pandemic, couples have been getting creative with their dating from home plans, recreating the traditional date spots remotely. To elevate your normal date night for a proposal, why not construct your very own at-home cinema?
Empty the cupboard of all the spare blankets and pillows you can find, and put on your favorite movie. Just as your partner thinks you’re getting to the best part, reveal the ring and give your favorite movie a different ending. You will truly feel like you have the starring role in your very own blockbuster!

Go digging for diamonds. If your partner thinks of themselves as something of a gardening expert since lockdown, planning a dream proposal in your own backyard could be the way forward. There is lots of scopes to be creative when it comes to devising your garden proposal, so think carefully about how to pull off the most memorable engagement.. If you want to truly surprise your partner, hide the ring in a flower bed or even within the petals of one of their favorite flowers. As they come across the sparkling diamond ring, be on hand to ask the all-important question. More importantly, don’t forget where you hid the diamond! As with any outdoor proposal, be sure to take lighting and weather conditions into account to ensure Mother Nature doesn’t rain on your parade.
