Is there anything more memorable than declaring your love with a bouquet of red roses and proposing on the most romantic day of the year, Valentine's Day?

There is one question that no amount of preparation can fully prepare us for. We may spend weeks researching, rehearsing, and building confidence, yet when the moment arrives, our hearts race, our stomachs tighten, and our voices falter: Will you marry me?

Emotions at their peak in February

The weeks around Valentine's Day are some of the most popular proposal periods of the year, especially on the big day, which is the peak time for proposals. This is the time when most people are hoping to pop the big question to the most important person in their lives - or waiting to cry tears of joy when they say yes. It’s no coincidence that this day is chosen to express a commitment, as the celebration of love and romance touches everyone.

What should be the romantic setting?

The perfect proposal means different things to different people. Most of us want to be surrounded by an intimate, personal, romantic aura. That's why they choose the intimate safety of home, where there's nothing to distract them. Breakfast in bed or a romantic dinner? No matter what we choose, it's just the two of us, together in a quiet, intimate moment.

Many people choose a place outdoors where they can be alone, in a beautiful park, under the trees, on a deserted stretch of beach with the waves lapping at their feet, or even on a mountaintop overlooking it all. Such a choice is a happy one, because from now on it will be "our" place, we can visit it on anniversaries, we won't forget that it is the place where we made the decision to unite our lives with our love. At the same time, it is also very romantic to choose a place that has already been the site of a shared experience with a loved one, be it a first kiss or a first date.

The big event can take place in a public place, such as a restaurant, bar, or even a concert or sporting event, but you should also consider whether your partner will be comfortable with someone else being a part of the big moment. And there are those who celebrate in front of their friends and family, so they can share their happiness right away.

Timeless traditions

There are some traditions that never go out of style, no matter how different your idea of the perfect proposal may be. According to a survey by Wedding Wire 

• almost everyone proposes with a ring in their hand, 

• takes a knee on the big question, and

• puts the question into words: Will you marry me? 

And don't be surprised if you both have to wipe the tears from under our eyes: there's nothing more touching than a proposal!

Everyone knows the story of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and their tragic love has become a symbol of love that lasts to the grave. This love story is set in Verona, a city still steeped in medieval atmosphere, where you can walk to the Casa di Giulietta in Via Cappello near Piazza delle Erbe. Legend has it that Shakespeare's famous balcony scene took place on the marble balcony of this house. Touching the statue of Juliet under the balcony will bring you luck in love, don't miss it!

Every year the city of love celebrates St. Valentine's Day with a huge festival, Verona in Love. All of Verona is dressed in festive red, the color of passion, the city is lit with heart-shaped lanterns, concerts are held in Piazza dei Signorin, and the Mercato Vecchio sells delicious goods. Theaters, bars, restaurants, bookstores and shops also participate in the event with themed romantic dinners, book launches and performances.

If you're inspired by the overflowing romance everywhere (and why not), you can share your feelings in a love letter contest. However, we suggest keeping your most cherished love messages and hiding them in a bouquet of passionate red roses.

Nothing could be simpler, because at The Million Roses you can easily place your message in the everlasting rose box: your thoughts will be delivered on beautiful paper, among the fragrant rose petals. For Valentine's Day, choose a black, heart-shaped box with deep red roses and you're guaranteed to capture the heart of your loved one forever.
