If you are the one searching for creative ideas to pop the question in Chicago or Chicago suburbs, this post is for you!
Whether you’re looking for a romantic proposal in Chicago, an adventurous one or a proposal with a touch of adventure, there are many options to choose from! The city of Chicago and surrounding suburbs offer great locations for any kind of proposal. No idea where to begin? Then start here!
Romantic proposal
Isn’t a surprise proposal romantic in itself? I think so! But there are many ways to maximize the romantic feel to your romantic themed proposal in Chicago. The easiest way? Think of a sunset or sunrise proposal. Bring a bottle of bubbles to Lake Michigan at sunrise (bubbles in the morning, why not?) or head to a rooftop at sunset.
What about a romantic picnic in one of Chicago’s beautiful parks? Or take the love of your live to the romantic rose garden at The Botanic Gardens just outside of Chicago.
(go in August!) A boat tour (at sunset) or an intimate and cozy restaurant will definitely do the job! Winter time? What about ice skating at Maggie Daley Park in the heart of Chicago , hot chocolate and a proposal on the ice? Boom! How can anyone say no to that?
Scavenger hunt mystery proposal
Does your significant other like to solve mysteries? A scavenger hunt will do the trick! Each clue will lead her (him) closer the the final act: you going down on one knee and popping the question! Don’t forget the ring!
Book a couples photo session
Some ideas are so obvious that you would almost miss them. Why not book a most wanted couples photo session on a great location in Chicago? Or end your surprise day with a (secret) engagement photo session? When it’s no secret you guys are going to have a couples photo session, your partner is involved in the styling and maybe the location. So you’re 100% sure your love is dressed for the occasion and won’t be not caught by surprise. Secondly the photographer doesn’t have to hide and can openly start the photo session with your guys, before you go on one knee!
Relive your first date
Did you guys go on your first date in Chicago or surrounding suburbs? Go back in time and relive your first date! Book the same restaurant, go to the same movie theatre (uhm, different movie though) or visit the same cocktail bar or ice cream salon. Tears of nostalgic happy feelings guaranteed!
Adventurous wedding proposal in Chicago
Does your love not shy away from a little adventure? Then gear up for some action! What about kayaking along the Chicago river? Or having yourself literally embraced by the city’s skyscrapers during a helicopter flight? Maggie Daley park offers rock climbing or if you’d rather stay on the ground test your luck at an escape room. With your proposal as the ultimate reward afterwards! A nature hike in the Chicago suburbs with a picnic ‘in the wild’ is a adventurous ánd romantic idea for your wedding proposal in Chicago!
Book a proposal photographer in Chicago!
The ultimate finishing touch to your surprise proposal is to hire a photographer to (secretly) capture this big moment and the first emotions! If you carefully ironed out an irresistible plan to ask the love of your live to share your lives together forever, than you cannot not hire a photographer to capture your proposal! Pictures of this moment are priceless for now and for the rest of your life. Believe me, I never heard any engaged couple say otherwise!
