As couples brainstorm creative ways to announce their engagement on social media, photography has become the most important part of that process. Taking the perfect photo of her engagement ring is essential for many brides, and that includes having freshly painted nails to help show off her new sparkler!
During the proposal planning process, consider how you can subtly make sure she has a manicure–especially if capturing an engagement ring selfie is important to her. Here are a few ideas for perfecting the art of a manicure and the engagement ring.
A Trusted Friend
Keeping your proposal a secret is key during the planning process (which is why our slim engagement ring boxes are so narrow and discreet). If you need to include a friend to help you pull off the surprise, make sure they’re trustworthy and close to both of you.
When it comes to making sure she has a manicure before you propose, ask the friend to casually ask your future fiance to get their nails done together. Something like a buy-one, get-one manicure could help it seem more natural.
Spa Day
If you were already looking for romantic proposal ideas where the two of you can enjoy intimate, luxurious activities, a spa day might be the perfect way for you to pop the question. Look for resorts in the mountains or on the beach, and spend your day pampering yourselves with massages, hot tubs, and don’t forget, a manicure!
As you enjoy dinner at a gourmet restaurant later that evening and find a romantic time to get down on one knee, her nails will be ready to show off the engagement ring!
After a Special Event
If you want to plan your proposal in advance, take a look at your calendar and consider any functions that are happening a few days before you propose. Maybe she has a work function or gala to attend where her nails will be done. As long as you propose a few days later, her nails should be in good shape and look gorgeous in your proposal photography!
Her Routine
At the end of the day, your best bet is knowing her weekly routine. Pay attention to how often she gets her nails done. You might realize she goes to the salon on a certain day every month, or only gets them done every few months for special functions. You can even ask her friends for their input.
Keep her routine in mind as you plan your proposal so she has everything she needs, including manicured nails, to announce your engagement on social media!
