Spring is the time of year when the weather starts to change and the flowers once again begin to blossom. Since spring inherently represents a time of new beginnings, it is also one of the best times of year to pop the question to the one you love. Here are just a couple of the reasons why spring engagements are so popular.

Photography shoots

Since spring is the time of year when the flowers and foliage are at their most abundant, an engagement during the spring season presents couples with the chance to set up a picturesque outdoor photo shoot to mark the occasion. Even if you prefer to have an indoor photo shoot, the bright, natural light that the spring sun provides will still guarantee that your photos turn out flawlessly.

Planning ahead

During the hectic winter holiday season, many people find that, by the time the new year rolls around, all of the gift giving and holiday travel has tapped them out financially. A spring proposal gives you a couple of months to recuperate and save up for the perfect engagement ring in Sterling Heights, MI, and might also give you the opportunity to take advantage of your tax return. Additionally, many couples try to set a wedding date that is about a year after the engagement, so a spring proposal will also put you in line for a beautiful spring or early summer wedding.

Showing off the ring

One of the most rewarding things about a spring engagement is that your loved one won’t have to worry about wearing gloves for several months, and will be able to show the ring off all the time. Because the ring will be displayed so prominently, it is important to take the time to pick out the best custom ring you can find, while also staying within your budget.

Here at Howard’s Fine Jewelry, we go above and beyond with each custom piece we craft, and we will work with you for as long as it takes to make sure you have a ring that your loved one will fall in love with.
