Although Texas isn’t famous for romance, special and romantic spots can be found all over Dallas! Dallas has an amazing variety of places, including ultramodern skyscrapers, the largest arts district in the United States, incredible and inspiring museums, and thriving nightlife. Whether you’re looking for something city-oriented or surrounded by nature, we have curated a list of our favorite go-to spots for your perfect Dallas proposal.
Nature-Escape Proposals
Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
This stunning and colorful garden sits on the shores of White Rock Lake, and its beauty has been recognized by many — anyone can see its world-class status from all the awards! Because the Garden can get fairly busy at peak times of the year, there are private areas that you can rent out to set up the dreamy ambiance for you and your loved one’s big moment.
Bluebonnets in Spring
Bluebonnets are the Texas state flower, loved by all. They are abundant all throughout Texas, so do some research on a great hike or picnic spot surrounded by bluebonnets. This one is time-sensitive as they are only in bloom from late May to mid-July, but they’re sure to blow your S/O away!
Proposals in the City
Canopy by Hilton Rooftop Lounge
With the beautiful backdrop of the Dallas skyline behind you, order a signature cocktail with your partner and relax. Enjoy the views and the hotel’s gorgeous atmosphere as the sunset illustrates the sky and buildings. Pop the question at the perfect moment, and celebrate with champagne or a night at the hotel and spa!
Trinity Groves Overlook
Trinity Groves Overlook is another great option, as you can enjoy this pocket park for any number of fun activities with your partner. The unmatched sights of the skyline combine with a great view of the Trinity river peacefully flowing beneath you. What a beautiful setting!
The Dallas Opera
Book tickets for the Dallas Opera at the Winspear Opera house for a classically unique and romantic proposal. The architecture of the opera house is inspiring enough to get down on one knee, but we’re sure that after witnessing the beauty of the opera you’ll be compelled to get married as soon as possible!
Sports Fan Proposals
AT&T Stadium
It’s no secret that Southerners love their sports, and Dallas is no different! AT&T Stadium offers tours of the field and the tunnels, so book in advance for you and your S/O. Once you both get to the center of the field, you can ask for their hand. Alternatively, get on the Jumbotron for a spectacularly public proposal!
Out-and-About Proposals
Mandalay Canals
Whisk your loved one away to a romantic gondola ride in the canals just a 15-minute drive from Dallas. Float over the serene waters, stopping at boardwalk spots as you please. Remember to bring a bottle of bubbly or some snacks for the ride, or celebrate with an after-party as you get off the boat!
Dallas Hot Air Balloon Ride
Coast through the air overlooking the beautiful landscape, and wait for the sun to dip toward the horizon. Pick your perfect moment, because the view only gets better! Pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate as you float down from the sky; you will be toasting to the memories and rest of your lives forever!
