From 'yes' to 'wow!' - 5 original ideas to celebrate your engagement

Hmm... is getting engaged still relevant these days? Absolutely, and perhaps now more than ever. In a world that's turning ever faster, we believe in consciously reliving special moments. Because life flies by! So yes, getting engaged isn't old-fashioned; it's an ode to love. And that's something to celebrate. Big, small, cozy, or extravagant, as long as it suits you.

Below are five original, feel-good ideas to make your engagement unforgettable.

1. Picnic with your inner circle

Don't feel like a big engagement party with speeches and all the fuss? Think small and cozy: a picnic with your favorite people. Blankets, homemade snacks , flowers in old mason jars... And of course: bubbles! It's all about the atmosphere, a warm, relaxed setting where you share the news and celebrate life.

2. DIY Engagement Photoshoot

Capture the moment in a way that's uniquely yours. No stiff studio shots, but a spontaneous shoot in your favorite spot: the woods, the city, a flea market, or simply at home in your pajamas with coffee. Ask a friend with a good eye for images or hire a photographer with a documentary style. Tip: use the photos later for your wedding website or save the dates.

3. Personal announcement with vintage flair

Tell the world in a way no one will forget. Think: a handwritten letter or a vintage postcard with a photo of the two of you. Nostalgia meets love and is guaranteed to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

4. Design a ring together

Say goodbye to the standard! More and more couples are choosing to design a ring together, one that reflects your story. Perhaps it's a ring with a stone from a unique country, or one crafted from grandma's old gold. Or how about something classic with a contemporary twist, like beautiful silver engagement rings ? The possibilities are endless. Even more special: it becomes a symbol of what you truly chose together.

5. Create a time capsule for your wedding day

A creative, personal way to cherish this phase. Fill a box together with letters to your future self, little mementos, photos, quotes, or even a playlist from this moment. Save it until your wedding day… or an anniversary. Hello happy tears!
