Sharm El Sheikh, Sinai Desert, Egypt

Experience star-gazing in the expanse of the Sinai desert, which is bound to create a romantic and sensational atmosphere for your proposal.

Venetian gondola, Venice, Italy

For a more old-fashioned romantic setting, one can always choose the historically vibrant water routes of Venice, the floating city.  Complete with busy market places, serenading music and performances, and quaint architecture, a gondola ride along the narrow winding canals of Venice will take you on a journey you and your partner will never forget.

Britain

Of course you can try popping the grand question closer to home. England, Scotland and Wales have an abundance of beautiful spots in the rolling countryside, or more dramatic coastal areas or mountainous regions.  You can make the trip personal to your relationship by picking somewhere with happy memories for you both, or somewhere completely new and romantic.  Why not take a romantic evening boat trip down the Thames in the Capital?  Drive to your favourite seaside spot or field and arrange a picnic proposal?  A hot air balloon ride or steam train trip through the beautiful English landscapes?  An adventurous climb up some of Scotland or Wales’ famous mountains, with a surprise at the summit?  Lunch at your favourite country resort followed by a romantic stroll through the woods in spring or summer?

These are just a few of the top destinations which might suit your partner and create the right atmosphere for the big day; putting personality and thought into your destination is sure to make it the most memorable day for both of you.  If you still need some guidance, look out for more Seventy Seven Diamonds blog posts on clever and innovative proposal ideas and advice, and check out part 2 where we bring you more amazing proposal destinations!
