Build Your Own Movie & TV Proposal

There are so many exciting milestones when it comes to the whole process of tying the knot. From picking out the ring to the last night of the honeymoon, each moment is significant and special. One of the top three most memorable of all though has got to be the proposal itself.

With so many couples opting to pick out or create the engagement ring as a team, planning the perfect moment to pop the question is where the person doing the proposing can get truly creative.

Iconic films and TV shows have long been great touch-points when it comes to relationship milestones. Bonding over the same old series or making plans to binge the newest Netflix drop. Sharing a first kiss during a rom-com at the cinema or rewatching the same romantic film every Valentine’s Day. Each couple may have their own traditions when it comes to their favourite shows and movies.

Whether you’re planning something low-key or extremely elaborate, these ideas can help shape a moment your partner will never forget. Apply the sentiment to whatever your shared experiences are because love and romance can find their way into even the most action-packed or heartbreaking scenes.

Sweeping confessions of love and big romantic gestures are commonplace in movies with love at their centre. Romantic comedies and heart-wrenching melodramas are filled with moments that can be emulated to create an unforgettable proposal. If you and your partner enjoy watching love blossom on-screen, here are some ideas to set the scene.

Take an early morning walk in a field or open space and propose quietly as the sun rises, just like Darcy’s long-awaited declaration. Best for thoughtful, romantic couples with a penchant for literature and old-world romance. Remember to mention how bewitched you are by their presence, and even throw in some poetry if you’re feeling inspired.

So many couples love geeking out together over vampires, which Hogwarts house they belong to, and which Disney castle they’d most like to live in. There are loads of ways to turn their world upside down with a proposal filled with magic and mysticism.

Create a wall of fairy lights and spell out ‘Will You Marry Me?’ letter by letter in a reference to Joyce’s iconic season 1 alphabet wall. It’s quirky and fun, great for nostalgic or unconventional couples, who love the show and similar ‘80s aesthetics. Your ring design could reference the show with some quotes or other engravings, and Running Up That Hill could play softly in the background.
