5 Extraordinary Ways to Propose
Create an Unforgettable Experience with These Unique Ways to Propose
A proposal story is one that you are going to be telling over, and over, and over again. Everyone will want to know how, when, where, and what happened. No matter how you choose to propose to your love it will be magical, but why not take it one step further and make it extraordinary? Each proposal is unique to each couple, but we’ve thought of some incredible ways you can pop the big question!
On a Sailboat

A sailboat proposal drips with romance. Sailing on the sea at sunset or cruising around the Okanangan lake creates a stunning and intimate moment to ask the big question. Make it even more spectacular with decorative florals, and some champagne to pop after! While there are many sailing and boat rental companies to choose from, we’ve had the pleasure of working with Holy Doodle Sailing Charters. We got to be a part of a spectacular sailboat proposal in Kelowna, creating colouful florals to line the bow of the boat where the lovely bride-to-be said ‘Yes’!
2. A Helicopter
Helicopter proposals are not only an incredible adventure, but they also create an opportunity to see absolutely breathtaking views. An adventurous couple can take to the sky and land on a gorgeous mountain top to pop the big question. Valhalla Helicopters offers proposal tours and wedding tours, with a variety of locations in the Okanagan. You can surprise your partner with a “Photography Session” so that they don’t get suspicious about your big plans!
3. At a Lighthouse
Extraordinary proposals don’t have to come with a price tag. A dreamy proposal in front of a lighthouse overlooking the ocean is the perfect balance between extraordinary and simple. This extraordinary proposal creates an intimate and beautiful moment between you and your partner to ask the big question. There’s something romantic about the love of your life kneeling down on one knee on the beach with the waves softly crashing behind. This one proposal you can tell again and again.
4. Where You First Met
Where you first met your partner is one of the most unique places you can propose. It is a space that holds a special meaning between just the two of you. Asking the big question here can bring you both back to where it all started. Proposing at the place you met can also give you both a chance to look back on your relationship and see how far you’ve both grown. Asking your partner to marry you in the place you met is sentimental for so many reasons.
5. In Your Kitchen
While some may not think of a proposal in a kitchen as unique or spectacular, it is incredibly intimate. A proposal does not have to be as expensive and lavish as a helicopter or sailboat ride (even though that would be pretty unreal), as long as it is sincere and thoughtful. You can ask the big question anywhere and in any way that is unique and special for you and your partner. It could be in your kitchen, laying next to each other in bed on a Sunday morning drinking coffee, or on a picnic you planned.
Planning a proposal can be stressful and thought-consuming. There is no “one way” to propose to someone, don’t worry about saying the wrong thing, or messing up. When you find the one you want to be with for the rest of your life you’ll know exactly what to say. Extraordinary proposals are something to dream about and can create incredible photos. But no matter how or where you chose to propose to the love of your life, the best tip we can provide is to say something from the heart and leave it all out there.
