Fall is the season of cozy sweaters, crisp air and falling leaves, but it also provides the perfect backdrop to take your love story to the next level. Here are a few fall proposal ideas that will make your partner fall (pun intended) in love with you all over again. 

cozy harvest picnic 

It’s apple- and pumpkin-picking season! What better way to plan an autumn proposal than choosing a beautiful orchard with fruit-heavy apple trees or pumpkin field dotted with orange gourds? Spread out a plaid blanket under an apple tree, or take a romantic hayride and share your sweet sentiments with your partner. If you want to indulge in even more sweetness, pop the question over apple pie, and toast to your future with a glass of cider. 

autumn adventure getaway

Whether you’re that camping couple who likes to rough it in the woods or you both prefer the four-star luxury and high-thread-count sheets of a boutique hotel, plan a fall proposal and an autumn getaway. Pack your bags — and the engagement ring — and head to a cozy cabin. Or choose a resort staycation for the weekend, complete with plenty of pampering. As your partner gazes at the beauty of nature, the wonder of stars or the twinkling cityscape, get down on one knee and ask that most-important question. 

enchanting corn maze quest

What’s more fun than a scavenger hunt? A proposal after navigating the twists and turns of a corn maze. There are two types of partners in a relationship: the one that can read a map and get you out of a tight spot — and the other person. Amble through waves of corn or grain, share a few laughs and maybe even some corny jokes. End the ah-maze-ing fun with a proposal. (Pro tip: Make sure it’s not a Halloween-themed haunted maze, unless you want a grim reaper leering over your shoulder.)

fireside romance 

A crackling fire on a chilly evening, embers drifting in the air before dissipating into the night, the smell of woodsmoke permeating the crisp night. What’s more romantic than that? Set up a fireside fall proposal complete with marshmallows and s’mores makings — and blankets for the ultimate cozy ambiance. Toast marshmallows, fan the flames of love by surprising your partner with a custom ring, and then toast to your lifetime together. 

fall foliage photoshoot 

Start down the path of capturing family memories by arranging a fall photoshoot to commemorate the season. Wearing coordinating sweaters that complement the oranges, yellows and reds of autumn, let the photographer capture candid shots as you get down on one knee and pull out a diamond
