“If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it…” You heard it here folks, let’s get a ring on that finger! Today we’re getting to see all things sparkle through the time period we call engagement season. This is such an exciting time and period of planning, celebrating, and of course all the occasions where you can make any excuse to wear all things white! Let’s dive in!
WHAT IS IT?
Typically, engagement season marks the period extending from when your significant other proposes, as they get down on one knee, to the moment where wedding bells ring on your designated special day! This is the anticipatory time where you’re recognized as a fiancé, preparing to become a bride or groom.
WHEN IS IT?
When a couple gets engaged, also known as your boyfriend proposing the idea of marriage and forever to his girlfriend, can happen all throughout the year! It has been trending that the months extending from Thanksgiving through Valentine’s Day are popular times to “pop the question.” This could be because families are already together for the holidays, something about the winter months bring comfort and clarity on future with more time to reflect, and that this gives way to substantial planning time for the happy couple before the busy wedding season extending from late spring to fall!
PUT A RING ON IT
The thing about getting engaged signals the new sparkle you get on your finger, which is symbolic of the commitment being made to you and the one you’re making to them. With that being said, there are so many ring styles and types making the options endless. Choosing engagement rings can be up to the couples’ discretion on how much they want and are able to spend, and whether or not they want the bride-to-be to know anything regarding which ring was chosen! We recommend it being a surprise, because let’s be honest, having that anticipation when you see that sparkle is so exciting!
The thing about the different kinds of rings is they can be silver, gold, rose gold, you name it. They can have diamonds, stones, pearls, ranging from one to as many as your significant other might want! The options are endless when it comes to the sparkle you are choosing. If we could recommend anything, have your significant other’s personality in mind when it comes to choosing her ring because it’s a representation of the love being shared!

PROPOSAL IDEAS
A lot of things are going through one’s head when they’re about to propose and get proposed to, which makes it that much more fun when it comes to proposal ideas! The great thing about proposals is that they are an opportunity to embrace the personal relationship between the happy couple! When considering how to propose to your significant other, or let’s be real, dropping hints to your boyfriend on ideas for how to propose, it can be extravagant or simple, beachy or boho, classy or enchanting, the opportunities are endless. Some things to think about when proposing to the love of your life, consider the environment and your surroundings, the aesthetic, whether to incorporate florals or any personal, sentimental items, and embracing all things love!

LET’S CELEBRATE
Aside from the traditional wedding day set aside for the happy couple, we’ll take any excuse to celebrate, so why not throw the husband and wife-to-be an engagement party! This could be thrown by anyone and is a great opportunity to celebrate with family and friends who will be there on your happy day! Just like with any event be sure to designate a host, pick a date, have a guest list created, choose a venue, send invitations, be sure to include and book any vendors, and of course choose any decorations that go with your dreamy aesthetic!
