Asking for your partner’s hand in marriage is one of the biggest moments (and one of the biggest challenges) of your life. As special as it is, you will definitely want to ensure that this marriage proposal is impressive and unforgettable. But, we know that planning a marriage proposal can be nerve-wracking. Always keep in mind:
Every proposal will be unique if you put all the unique details of your relationship into it.
If all those jitters are making it hard to decide on how to propose to your loved one, we’ve got your back! Here are some of the ideas you can consider for your “once in a lifetime” unique wedding proposal ideas:
1. PROPOSAL USING DRONES
Technological advancement has been changing the world and how we live in it. The introduction of drones has taken the world by storm. Not only does the drone able to take videos and photos, it can also serve as a carrier to deliver item from one place to another. (Check out Amazon’s “Prime Air”)
Besides using the drone to take videos and photos of your wedding proposal progress, you can use it to your advantage by becoming your “deliveryman” to deliver the ring box to you. This drone idea definitely brings an old-fashioned wedding proposal to the next level! If you are still wondering how it works, you can check out this Instagram video on how a drone pilot proposed to his loved one using a drone.
No doubt this is one of the perfect wedding proposal idea, there are some things to take note especially for drone operations in Singapore. In accordance to Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), there are rules to flying a drone in Singapore:
- A permit is not required to fly a drone that weighs 7 kilograms (15 pounds) or less that is being flown 200 feet or below. If flying a drone heavier than 7 kilograms (15 pounds) or above 60 meters (200 feet), a permit is required.
- Drones cannot be flown over people or crowds.
- Drones may not interfere with emergency service providers, or over vehicles where their presence may distract the driver.
- Drones may not be flown within 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) of an airport.
- Drones may only be flown during daylight hours.
- Drone pilots must maintain a visual line of sight with their drone at all times.
These are some of the important rules based on our research and interpretation of the laws. For more information, you can refer to the page on the CAAS website.
If you are considering this brilliant idea, you can consider We The Flyers (W.T.F.). They are a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) experts, specialised in creating beautiful moments for your big day.

So, which of your ring boxes will be recommended for this drone wedding proposal? Personally, we recommend simple square ring box designs so that it can be tied to the drone firmly and easily!

2. “GLAMPING” PROPOSAL
Planning a day (maybe a “glamping trip”) at the beach or park is a rising trend as it is affordable and one of the most romantic proposal places. Take time to unwind and relax while enjoying the sea breeze and the beautiful sunset view. Find the right moment to get down on one knee, and pitch the sentimental speech you’ve probably rehearsed a million times.
Some of the popular locations you can find are:
- East Coast Park
- Jurong Lake Gardens
- Gardens by the Bay
- Sentosa
- Labrador Park
- Jewel (Check this NEW location!)
However, this involves intensive planning and requires several big and small props in order to set up the most romantic occasion. Moreover, manpower is also needed in setting up. Luckily, there are some local event planners that specialise in this so you do not need to crack your brain worrying about all these issues.
The Duo Planner is one of our favourite event planner as they have tons of proposal themes and ideas. You can even set your budget range and they will do it up all for you! All you need to do is to just bring your loved one and enjoy the celebration!

3. ACTIVITIES IN AIRBNB
Launched in 2016, Airbnb Experiences are unique, memorable activities designed and hosted by locals that go beyond those typical tours or workshops. They provide deep insights and immersion into the hosts’ passions and interests, and a different way to experience a destination.
You can choose from a list of various experiences, and start a conversation with them to ask if there is any possibility that they are able to improvise to include the wedding proposal idea. The locals are generally helpful and flexible. They might be even able to provide the most ideal and unique way to propose to your loved one. Do remember to take down their contact details so that you can liaise with them easily if you have any other urgent requests.
I did the same for my wedding proposal at Melbourne. The wedding proposal is a great success and it is a wonderful experience. You can check out my post here, where I share my marriage proposal story.
Carrying a typical ring box while doing activities can be challenging, especially if you are doing some high element types. Chances of the box being spotted by your loved one is certainly high. For this, we recommend small and compact ring boxes that are easy to hide without being spotted.

4. WEDDING PROPOSAL INVOLVING ANIMALS
Need a little help from a furry friend? Whether it’s the old dog you’ve had since it was a pup or the adorable new kitten she’s been dreaming of, this ingenious idea make the cutest marriage proposal ever.
Puppy proposals are definitely one of the most popular choice. However, cats, fish, and even zoo animals could also make the perfect wingman for the most important question you’ll ever ask. If you are looking to get a new pet and use it as wedding proposal, choose an animal you’ll both love and that you can care for. Whichever animal you pick will be the perfect proposal helper! Here are some of the tips:
- Weather : Always keep a lookout! Rain should be avoided for any proposal involving animals.
- Attire : When animals are involved, comfortable clothing are highly recommended! Make sure that it is comfy enough to play with your pet.
- Planning : Any marriage proposal with an animal will be full of surprise. But in order to have that, you need to have a good planning. (training and rehearsal for instance) If you are intending to get a new pet for the proposal, find someone to take care for it during that period.
It is challenging when choosing the ideal ring box for this occasion. You would want to protect the proposal ring, as well as your ring box, and maintain its pristine condition. We will recommend something that is unique like Rosa Bäk, where pet animals like dogs can bite onto the stem and pass it to you. Or, You can consider hanging the ring box around the animal’s neck.

8. PROPOSE UNDER THE STARS
Proposing to your loved one under the stars is indeed the most romantic scene. However, finding the perfect spot under a star lit sky can be a lot harder. In today’s world, light pollution is a growing problem in urban areas and industrial light can travel as far as 200 miles (approximately 320 kilometers) from its origin.
So.. how do you find the perfect place to propose when you want to do it under the stars?
One of the main considerations is weather. You will need to find the best time when the sky will be unobstructed from clouds. This can be tricky (and sometimes unpredictable) as it depends on the time of year and where you live. Singapore, for example, is situated near the equator and has a typically tropical climate, with abundant rainfall, high and uniform temperatures, and high humidity all year round. So, perhaps it is not ideal to propose in Singapore.
Revealing your proposal ring in the dark can be challenging. You will need a ring box design like Aspen Bäk or Asscher Bäk that is able to shine a light on your sparkling proposal ring. Another alternative design will be the Aurora Bäk, a starry theme design that is best fit for this kind of proposal!
