Engagement Season!

Engagement season… it’s a thing… A REAL THING, and it’s officially here!

According to Wedding Wire, about 40 percent of proposals happen between November (Thanksgiving) and February (Valentine’s Day), which means we’re right in the middle of engagement season!

The most popular month for engagements is December, and no surprise here Christmas Day is the most popular day to get engaged ( Valentine's Day was tops in 2020), with Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day very close behind. Engagement season lines up with the holiday season, when family and friends gather to celebrate, and when gift-giving is in full swing—and what better gift could there be than a sparkly engagement ring?

This special time of the year should not be confused with wedding season, the most popular time of year for nuptials, early fall, in most parts of the country- because after you get engaged it takes at least 6 to 9 months to plan.

Check out this beautiful proposal I recently captured at Ponte Winery in Temecula, and check back here if you think you’ll be sporting a new engagement ring in the near future. I’ll have some advice to help you get ready for the big moment, and on what to do next.
