Designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this iconic home is tucked into the foothills of the McDowell Mountains outside of Scottsdale. The home, which was Wright’s personal winter home and is now the home to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, draws strong design inspiration from the surrounding desert. The colors, the walls made from local rocks, and the clean concrete are a stark contrast to the airy and light interior. This one-of-a-kind location is an icon for architecture buffs and amateurs alike and serves as a beautiful setting for a romantic proposal in Scottsdale.

Between Scottsdale and Phoenix is the Desert Botanical Garden, a 140-acre space that is home to over 50,000 plants. The outdoor garden first opened its doors in 1939, and over the decades has evolved to become one of the major attractions in the area. Take in the otherworldly beauty of the desert along their numerous secluded trails, like the Sonoran Desert Nature loop that offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains—and also serves as an intimate and breathtaking spot for a proposal.

For outdoorsy couples, consider Camelback Mountain for your proposal. Named for its camel-like double hump, the mountain is a popular local spot for rock climbing and hiking. Choose to hike one of the trails to the summit for breathtaking, 360-degree views, or choose a shorter, less intense trail for a bit of exercise and adventure. If you and your partner aren’t into hiking, opt to instead visit one of the nearby resorts that offer stunning views of the mountainside for a poolside afternoon of lounging and relaxing.
No matter which location you choose for your proposal, make sure you have the right ring to go with it. Consider your partner’s style, your budget, and your proposal location to pick a ring that they will cherish forever and love to wear each and every day.
Choose from any metal, any gemstone, and any style to make your perfect ring a reality for your proposal in Scottsdale. Good luck 🙂
