The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is beautiful year-round, but it's especially so in the spring, when the flowers are in full bloom. One of the best romantic places in Dallas to propose, the Arboretum is also the scene of numerous weddings and anniversary parties throughout the year. Try for a spot that overlooks the scenic White Rock Lake for your Big Moment. The Dallas Arboretum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Celestial Park
5501 Celestial Road
Addison, TX 75254

What makes Celestial Park one of the best romantic places to propose is the stone sundial, where you can determine the approximate time using your own shadow. The sundial is at the top of a "celestial" staircase, engraved with quotations and poetry and surrounded by trees and other local flora. The park is open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Fort Worth Botanic Garden
3220 Botanic Garden Boulevard
Fort Worth, TX 76107
(817) 871-7686

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is always a popular spot for proposals and weddings. An especially memorable and unique location for proposals is the Japanese Garden, with seven acres evoking the serenity of the East with a teahouse, bridges, waterfall, pavilion and even a moon viewing deck. The Botanic Garden is open year-round from 8 a.m. to dusk, but individual sections of the Garden, including the Japanese Garden, are open at various times depending on the season. Please call the Botanic Garden office for the latest information.
The Mustangs of Las Colinas
5205 N. O'Connor Drive
Irving, TX 75039
(972) 869-9047

Unlike the places mentioned above, The Mustangs of Las Colinas is best experienced at night, when the bronze horses that "leap" through the water in the granite stream are lit up in the middle of Williams Square Plaza. Although it's forbidden to climb the horses, plenty of romantic proposals have happened along the edge of the stream, where visitors can sit and contemplate the impressive equestrian sculpture. The Mustangs are accessible year-round from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck
300 Reunion Boulevard
Dallas, TX 75202
(214) 741-5560
www.wolfgangpuck.com
A list of the best romantic places to propose wouldn't be complete without a mention of the restaurant atop Reunion Tower, Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck. While the award-winning food prepared under the guidance of one of the world's most renowned chefs is certainly a draw, what has made this one of the most romantic spots in Dallas is its revolving room, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer diners a 360-degree view of the Metroplex. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday for happy hour and dinner; reservations are recommended.
