The marriage proposal in Tuscany

The marriage proposal in Tuscany at Villa Campestri

We are so used to Hollywood films and proposals to get married on a grand scale that maybe when our time comes we are in a bit of trouble.

The proposalscan have various styles from the most intimate to the traditional one and they are all obviously very exciting!

Choosing the words is certainly important but if you also well choose the place of your proposal you can have a better chance of receiving the famous yes! And for these reasons we recommend Tuscany for your proposal!

Tuscany romantic place par excellence

The Tuscan landscapes are in the imagination of all of us. From the Crete Senesi to the most famous monuments around the world there is not a person who does not dream of staying in Tuscany at least once in their life.

To make your trip unique and make Tuscany even more magical for you, we want to give you some fundamental advice in choosing the location for your romantic proposal.

Florence

If you are in Florence and are ready for your proposal, we want to recommend two special places.

1) Piazzale Michelangelo.

From this beautiful viewpoint you can admire the whole panorama of Florence and at sunset, especially in spring and in summer, the atmosphere is simply magical for the colors and sounds. Get ready to receive lots of applause!

2) The towers of Florence.

Many hotels in the center of Florence have an ancient medieval tower and on the top floor they house a terrace, also open to the public outside, with a view across Florence. You can, for example, agree with the bartender for a special bottle or to immortalize the moment with a video!

Florence is the capital of love, every little street and square are still very romantic but if you are looking for something truly unforgettable, think about these two options πŸ™‚

Lucca

Lucca is a small town in Tuscany famous for its elegance and its original fortified walls that enclose the city. The fortified walls are accessible on foot or by bicycle and also host beautiful lawns for picnics.

If you are a sporty couple, why not opt ​​for a more original request?

After a nice bike ride admiring the view from the fortified walls you can always stop and put yourself in the famous proposal position!

Livorno

Livorno is not a famous tourist destination like other Tuscan cities but it is no less beautiful!

If you are looking for one of the most spectacular terraces overlooking the sea in Tuscany that will give you the opportunity to immortalize your proposal with beautiful photographs, the Mascagni terrace is what you are looking for! At any time of the day, the checkerboard terrace is a beautiful location!

3 important things to know before a marriage proposal

1) Remember the tradition. If your partner is very attached to traditions, do not forget to ask her father for her hand first and only then act.

2) Be sure of the positive answer. Nobody likes a no, much less when a question is that important.

3) Make it memorable! The marriage proposal will be told to friends and relatives and is an important step in a relationship, choose the place where you will make it well!
