Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular times of year to get engaged. With romance in the air, thoughtful gestures and carefully planned surprises, it is no wonder so many couples take the next step on 14th February. If you have been asking yourself, “Will he propose on Valentine’s Day?” you are certainly not alone.
At Opus Couture, we regularly meet brides who suspected a proposal was coming long before the question was asked. While every relationship is different, there are often subtle signs that a Valentine’s Day engagement could be just around the corner.
Signs he might be planning a Valentine’s Day proposal
One of the most common signs is a sudden interest in jewellery. If he has started asking about ring styles, commenting on friends’ engagement rings or casually trying to work out your ring size, this can be a strong indication that a proposal is being planned. Many Valentine’s Day engagements involve months of preparation, particularly when choosing the perfect ring.
Another sign is secrecy that feels positive rather than worrying. Taking phone calls in another room, being vague about plans or carefully guarding his phone can all be part of organising a surprise. If this behaviour feels out of character but exciting, it may be for a very good reason.
You may also notice that Valentine’s Day plans feel bigger or more meaningful than usual. A surprise trip, a restaurant booked far in advance or a return to a place that holds special memories can all point towards a proposal. Valentine’s Day proposals often focus on romance and sentiment, making the day feel more intentional.
Talking about the future is another clue. Conversations about marriage, weddings or life together can be a way of testing the waters. Some partners will also ask about your style, what kind of bride you imagine being or what you would want your wedding day to feel like.
If you think he might propose, what should you do?
If you have a feeling a proposal could be coming, it is completely natural to start thinking ahead. Many brides begin saving wedding inspiration quietly before they are officially engaged. Browsing wedding dresses can help you understand what styles you love, whether that is minimalist wedding dresses, romantic lace gowns or modern designer silhouettes.
It is not too early to think about your wedding dress at Opus Couture. Contrary to popular belief, wedding dress shopping often begins much sooner than many brides expect. Designer wedding dresses are typically made to order and can take several months to arrive, which is why many newly engaged brides choose to begin their journey early.
At Opus Couture, our luxury bridal boutique in Ayrshire offers a carefully curated collection of designer wedding dresses for modern brides across Scotland. With a calm, personal and appointment-only experience, we guide each bride through finding a wedding dress that feels truly her, from first fitting to final alterations.
While it is easy to over analyse every detail in the lead up to Valentine’s Day, it is also important to enjoy the moment. Some proposals are elaborate and others are beautifully simple. However it happens, it should feel right for your relationship.
What if Valentine’s Day comes and goes without a proposal?
If Valentine’s Day passes without a proposal, it does not mean it is not coming. Spring and summer are incredibly popular engagement seasons, and many couples choose to wait until the timing feels right. A proposal should always be meaningful rather than dictated by a date.
