Now that we’re getting into spring, it’s time to get our picnic on! There’s nothing like the leisurely soaking up of sun and grazing on snacks outdoors. This time around, I’m showing you my tricks to putting together the perfect picnic setting that’s sure to impress your friends, family or S.O. without requiring too much effort. It is a picnic after all!
If you’re from the city like I am, nature is slim pickings. Either way, choose the quietest area you can find that has some shade cover. Also, shoot for flat ground so your food stays in place.
Choose a blanket that’s lightweight, washable and of a casual, yet sturdy material like cotton. I like a plaid print because it feels like the classic picnic look. You’ll be able to use this as your go-to picnic blanket for seasons to come.
A mason jar filled with fresh flowers is what really makes the setting pop. Shoot for fun, casual flowers like sunflowers rather than something more formal like roses.
Grab a hodge podge of bowls from your pantry, and have each of your friends bring a pourable snack from the grocery store. The eclectic mix of dishes works for the setting.
I prefer to bring food that you can easily grab and share. Check out a full list of the best foods to bring to a picnic here.
