Ideas for a proposal in spring

September 5, 2023 • 4 min read

Are you looking to propose in spring? As the cold frost is slowly replaced by warm sunny days, spring brings Sydney back to life after a dormant season. With plenty to see and do, this season is the perfect time for a romantic proposal.

With three jewellery stores across Sydney, we know just how much the city has to offer in terms of spring proposals. If this is the season you want to pop the question, check out our list for some of the best proposal spots in Sydney during spring.

Enjoy a garden picnic

As the flowers begin to bloom and everything becomes vibrant, there is no better time to enjoy Mother Nature by heading out for a picnic in the garden. Gardens come to life in spring, making it a magical spot to hold an intimate picnic turn proposal.

Wait until daylight savings kicks in and go for a twilight dinner picnic. Watch as the sky changes colour, making for the perfect time and place to pop the question. Don’t forget the blankets as it can get cold. Otherwise, a classic lunch picnic is always a safe bet.

If you don’t have a private garden of your own to enjoy, plan to visit a public park. Hidden in Lavender Bay, Wendy’s Secret Garden is a true gem as it is a peaceful spot with a view.
 

Sculpture by the Sea

Coastal walk meets art, Sculpture by the Sea is a favourite for many Sydneysiders. Taking place along the iconic shoreline of some of the city’s most famous beaches, it is one of the most spectacular times of the year. The best coastal walk Sydney offers can be an excellent proposal opportunity.

As it’s a free event, it is ideal for the lowkey couple who enjoy the great outdoors. You can get your unsuspecting partner to explore the sculptures along the Bronte Walk. After the proposal, it is the perfect backdrop to take some ring shots. Once in your newly engaged bliss, finish the outing with a cute café feed.

Hot tip: To avoid the crowds for a more private moment, try going early in the morning or later in the day.

Visit the South Coast

Forget the Central Coast – Wollongong and the South Coast is the place to explore this spring. With the sun bringing warmer temperatures, Wollongong is a great weekend escape with many proposal spots.

Spend the weekend and stay at a hotel or go for a day trip. There is plenty to see, from Kiama blowhole to the many breathtaking beaches. It is also the perfect weather for a hike, with many magical hikes leading to impressive lookouts, the ultimate spot to propose for the active couple.

For those staying overnight, a sunset dinner cruise could be a great moment to get down on one knee if you’re looking for a romantic set-up.

Melbourne Cup

The race that stops the nation, the Melbourne Cup, falls in spring! If you and your partner enjoy a day at the races, head to Randwick and let the elegant gala be your proposal destination.

Many use the Melbourne Cup as a fashion runway. It’s a great yet subtle way to get your partner dressed up for your surprise without raising any suspicion. Dressed to impress, you can guarantee you and your partner look your best, making it an excellent opportunity to ask the big question.

Book a corporate or VIP box at the event for a less crowded spot so you have more space to make your move. Extra points if you have close friends or family in on it, waiting to take photos of the big moment.

Luna Park

A Sydney icon in its own right, spring is one of the best times to visit Luna Park. Guaranteeing loads of fun, this is the ideal place to pop the question for couples that love to have fun and muck around.

Located in Milsons Point, the park has plenty of proposal spots. Enjoy lunch by the harbour edge or stroll near the entrance, underneath the Harbour Bridge. Propose on the Ferris wheel for a timeless spot that is a movie-worth proposal!

An afternoon going into the evening is a great time to visit, as many families have started to leave the park. Not to mention, the lights begin to turn on, creating an enchanting backdrop for any proposal.
