The holiday season in Colorado, from golden fall leaves to sparkling snow, is filled with cozy charm and romance. Between Thanksgiving gatherings, glowing Christmas lights, and joyful New Year’s celebrations, it’s no wonder this is one of the most popular times of the year to get engaged.
If you’re ready to pop the question, here are the best holiday proposal ideas to make your engagement story unforgettable.
🦃 1. A Heartfelt Thanksgiving Proposal
Proposing over Thanksgiving break is a way to show your love.
Thanksgiving is a day for gratitude, and what better way to express yours than by proposing to the person you’re most thankful for? Gather your loved ones, share what you’re grateful for, and end with:
“I love you, I’m thankful for you, will you marry me?”
You can make it private or include family for a warm, emotional surprise.
After the big “yes,” start dreaming about your Colorado wedding by visiting our Pricing & Packages page.
🎄 2. Propose Under the Christmas Lights
Dropping to one knee under the string lights shows how much you love her.
Nothing says romance like twinkling lights and crisp mountain air. Colorado towns like Canon City, Colorado Springs, and Manitou Springs come alive with holiday light displays.
Falling deeper in love in the snow.
✨ At Lost Pond, picture fairy lights reflected on the water make a perfect, quiet moment to ask your biggest question.
❄️ 3. Snowy Mountain Picnic Proposal
Colorado’s mountain views make for a dreamy winter backdrop. Pack a picnic, a thermos of cocoa, and a cozy blanket. When the snow begins to fall, surprise your partner with a proposal surrounded by evergreens and mountain peaks.
For an intimate version, walk the trails near Lost Pond and propose beside our pond and stream for a natural, peaceful setting.
💫 4. Cozy Christmas Morning Engagement
A Christmas morning proposal is as cozy and sentimental as it gets. Slip the ring into a stocking, wrap it in a small gift, or tie it to your pet’s collar.
It’s personal, warm, and perfect for couples who love simple, meaningful moments.
After the excitement settles, book your Venue Tour and start picturing your outdoor ceremony under the elm tree.
🕯️ 5. Fireside Proposal with Family
