Why Get Engaged During the Holidays?
The holiday season is a special time to get engaged for many reasons. Here are a few of our favorite things about this time of year:
Season of Romance
Winter is a romantic season — holiday spirit is in the air, and it’s a great time to cozy up together. We all know someone who LOVES the holidays. If that sounds like your special someone, make their holiday season unforgettable with the perfect gift.
Time for Memories
The holidays can provide a lot of good memories. Spend time with your loved ones or book a weekend getaway to celebrate your proposal. Make sure to take memorable engagement photos out in the snow or snuggled up by the fire. Capture the magic with Insta-worthy photos you’ll cherish forever.
Plan Ahead
The average amount of time for wedding planning is about 6-12 months. A winter proposal sets you up perfectly if you want a summer or fall wedding, or if you want to get married during next year’s holiday season.

Get started with a setting or a stone.
