Feeling inspired? Here's 4 Proposal Tips from the experts:
1. Know your S/O's style and finger size!
If they haven't made a dream ring Pinterest board or dropped all the hints in your dm's, then you can stop in to Diamonds Direct to try on styles and get sized. They will make a wishlist profile to make it even easier on you!
2. Plan in advance
Diamonds Direct rings are customized to fit your personal style and budget! They carry a huge selection of pre-made engagement rings at all price points that can be sized in a few days, but if you want something more custom then plan for it to take a few weeks.
3. Pick the perfect location
As you can see from the above, there are so many beautiful and romantic places in Jacksonville for a marriage proposal. It would also be a great idea to propose on that upcoming summer vacation (hint, hint)!
4. Hire a photographer
Once you have the ring and the location planned, be sure to make a plan for photos because this is a moment you'll want to remember forever! Have a friend, family member, or better yet a professional photographer nearby to capture the special moment.
