Ideas for a proposal in winter

June 9, 2023 • 4 min read

Are you wanting to propose in Winter? As the chill sets in and cool weather stays, Sydney becomes a beautiful winter wonderland during June, July and August. In addition to the seasonal activities, many events are held during the winter, promising a plethora of proposal opportunities.

As one of the best jewellers in Sydney, the experts at Midas Jewellery have heard many memorable Winter proposals. If you’re looking to pop the question this Winter, check our list for some of the best proposal spots in Sydney and the surrounding regions.

Vivid

Endless lights in the big city! Vivid – there is nothing like it. A mix of art and technology, Vivid Sydney is when our city truly comes to life. Usually held around the beginning of winter, the city lights up more than ever each night during the event, buzzing with immersive light installations and performances.

This makes it one of the best times to pop the question. Take a romantic stroll across the renowned harbour and admire the lights. Find a quiet spot to admire the scenery, perhaps in Barangaroo or at one of the many restaurants around the harbour foreshore and use this moment to get down on one knee and pop the question

Not only is it a magical event that will be sure to put on a show, but the city dressed up in neon lights and colour will make for stunning night pictures when capturing your big moment.

Head to the snow

Looking for adventure and romance? Head to the snow for an authentic winter wonderland experience. A snow backdrop will make for the perfect proposal background, especially if you’re a couple who loves their winter sport.

Make it a road trip and head south to the snowfields. Pick a lowkey moment where you’re off the ski slopes to get down on one knee. Perhaps during an intimate moment in the evening by the fire or as you’re playing around in the snow during the day.

For a more spontaneous trip not so far, wait for snow to fall in the Blue Mountains and make a day trip of it. While it isn’t always guaranteed, a snow day is known to occur sporadically when temperatures drop. Organise one of our diamond engagement rings early so you have it on standby, ready to pop the question.

Stay under the stars

Head outside the city for a romantic moment straight out of a fairy tale for a quick getaway under the stars. A stay that you and your partner will never forget, Bubbletent is a quirky glamping-style accommodation. It is also the perfect spot to pop the question.

Nestled within the Blue Mountains are multiple see-through bubble tents. Protected in your own bubble away from civilisation, you can look up from your bed and sleep under the stars. This one-of-a-kind stay also includes a telescope to explore the remarkable outer space and an outdoor tub for most sites.

Pop the question as you enjoy a private bath overlooking the mountains or ask for their hand in marriage as you explore the farm surroundings. No matter when you do it, this is the perfect place to have a private proposal as a couple.

Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival

When you can’t skip town but want to feel worlds away for your proposal, head to the Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival. Auburn’s Botanic Garden come to life with beautiful pink cherry blossoms and Japanese delicacies shared across nine days in August.

With scenery worthy of a postcard, this spectacular event is perfect when you’re looking for an opportunity to propose. Go for a peaceful stroll through the gardens and choose a quiet corner to ask the question.

There are a lot attractions and activities that are happening in the garden. Spend a few hours before you propose to feel like you’ve been transported overseas for a proposal abroad.

Blue Mountains cabin stay

Are you looking for the quintessential winter experience? Head for a cabin stay in the Blue Mountains. With colder temperatures than the Sydney metropolitan area, the beautiful Blue Mountains are the ultimate winter stay when looking to pop the question.

Set up a cute proposal moment by spending time by a log fire and toast marshmallows with music in the background. Add in a few blankets and pillows and you could have a picture-perfect indoor picnic, perfect for a proposal.

For some adventure leading up to your big moment, explore the region. You can head to the epicentre of the Blue Mountains, Katoomba, for the Winter Magic Festival or explore the landmarks. If you’re lucky, you may even experience snow when the temperature drops!
