Ideas for a proposal in Autumn

March 17, 2023 • 4 min read

Are you looking to propose in Autumn? With the heat of Summer slowly departing and the leaves starting to fall, Sydney is a beautiful place to explore during Autumn. Sydney in Autumn is filled with plenty of proposal opportunities and is one of the best times of the year to pop the question.

With our three jewellery stores across Sydney, Midas Jewellery knows this is a beautiful time of year with countless proposal opportunities. If you’re looking to pop the question this Autumn, check our list for some of the best proposal spots in Sydney.

Park picnic

Trees turn red and orange and the leaves begin to fall; Autumn transforms the many parks of Sydney into a picturesque wonderland. This makes it the perfect time to head to the local park for a surprise picnic proposal.

For colder days, secure a sunny moment in the sun. If the sun still has a bite, head to a shady spot under a tree to set up your picnic. If you want a sweet and intimate proposal, find and secure a more private area of the park away from other park-goers.

If your local park isn’t the most extravagant setting, head to the Royal Botanic Gardens or Hyde Park. These iconic luscious grounds come to life in Autumn!

The Blue Mountains

As the weather starts to cool, the Blue Mountains start to call. Home to many quaint spots and renowned landmarks, the Blue Mountains is a romantic region to visit during Autumn.

Head for one of the many bush walks hidden in the valleys. These breathtaking walks are located along the cliff tops or deep down in the gorges. Often, they will lead you to jaw-dropping lookouts or waterfalls, where lies the perfect spot to get down on one knee.

If you prefer more adventure, explore Scenic World or one of the many gardens, including Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens.

Weekend getaway to the Hunter Valley

Escape the hustle and bustle by leaving the city behind for a weekend. A great way to hit refresh is to explore the many destinations that are only a short drive from the city.

Feel like you are worlds away by heading to the Hunter Valley. Like a quick trip to Tuscany, the Hunter region is filled with wineries and breweries, making it a fantastic place to spend time in Autumn. It also makes it an excellent location to pop the big question.

After a morning exploring the wine region, follow up with a lunch or sunset picnic where you spend quality time together before finishing up the main event – your proposal.

Try or go inland for a hinterland experience

Heading west? In New South Wales, there is plenty of hidden gems, especially in Autumn. As the weather changes, many of these spots come to life.

Go for a road trip and explore the state’s central region. There is plenty to see and it can be a peaceful and intimate trip that holds the perfect moment to propose. You can also find the most unique farm stays to enjoy a weekend under uninterrupted skies, sans city lights.

Some picturesque spots include Mayfield Garden in Oberon, the Cowra Japanese Gardens and the Taronga Western Plains Zoo.

Sydney Royal Easter Show

One of the main events during this season is the iconic Sydney Royal Easter Show. The annual show is always a memorable time for a fun and festive event. If you don’t mind a public display of affection, proposing can make this Easter Show one you will never forget.

With plenty to do, you can make a whole day out of it. Start by marvelling at the many exhibits and exploring the animals. Enjoy some food stalls and take your time on the rides. Then as the day ends, take advantage of the nightly fireworks and propose as the show lights up the sky.

For creativity, try to incorporate your proposal into one of the shows or parades for something different.
