Are you cracking your head over how you should propose to your significant other? While asking your partner to get a BTO is a practical way of expressing your willingness to commit to them, it is all the way at the bottom of the scale of romantic gestures and meaningful proposals.
Feeling inspired to pop the all important question in a romantic and perhaps even meaningful way? Read on for our ever-growing compilation of amazing proposal ideas to help you get on with your plans!
Arrange a Picnic

Whether you are planning to keep the proposal intimate or include your partner's friends and family, an outdoor picnic is a great way to get them in the right mood.
Pick a nice romantic location with a view (like the Marina Barrage on a weekday or quiet spot at one of Sentosa's beaches), set it up nicely with some aesthetic rugs, some fairy lights, a playlist of romantic tunes running in the background and their favorite food and there you have it a romantic ambience.
Proposing On A Roof Top
There is just something about roof tops with amazing views that are oh so romantic.
Wondering how you can secure a roof top location in Singapore?
Check out some of the best roof or hill top restaurants in Singapore (like Salt Grill & Sky Bar, Faber Peak, Lantern, Zafferano, and more)
Book an Airbnb or hotel penthouse suite for a private and intimate affair
For those on a budget, you can consider MBS's SkyPark Observation Deck, Pinnacle@Duxton Skybridge or the Supertree Grove.
Now all you have to do is to wait for sunset, get down on one knee and pop the question!
Take A Trip Down Memory Lane
Remember your first date? Take a trip down memory lane and recreate some of the amazing memories you both experienced when you first got together.
After a day of retracing your happy milestones, end the day at one of your favorite or first-date restaurant (for extra meaning!) and pop the question.
During A Couple Photoshoot
This is such a wonderful idea not only because you will have professional photos to commemorate the milestone, but your significant partner will thank you for letting them look good for the important moment (instead of getting caught unaware!)
Propose With A Song

Have a special song for your relationship? Work it into the proposal in these meaningful ways and we guarantee you that it will be an unforgettable memory:
For introverts, you can consider recording your special song with the special question at the end. Let your partner listen to it and drop on one knee as the song ends
For the adventurous, you can consider getting up on stage at a bar to serenade your partner before proclaiming your love to them with a proposal at the end of your performance
Create A Secret Proposal Video
This takes a little more effort, but if you don't mind planning out your proposal over a few weeks or months and doing a little video editing work, this would be something meaningful that you can look back time and again after the proposal itself.
Take videos / photos of your partner in your daily activities together (but without them noticing)
For an added challenge, include your proposal ring or a note that says "will you marry me?" in the videos / photos. It will be lots of fun for them to realize that on hindsight!
Want to incorporate friends and family in the proposal? Get them to send their best wishes or record them saying "will you please marry [insert your name]?" and add them to the video.
Put it all together and screen this special video during the proposal!
Make A Proposal Photo Book
Featuring Lovestills Signature Photobook
Find some of your favorite couple photos together and compile them into a photo book. Start with your earliest memories to the most recent, ending with the question on the very last page.
Want to make it an even more meaningful keepsake? Go ahead and incorporate little comments or quotes that express your love for them in reference to the photos and memories that you shared.
