Sweet, it’s picnic season and this summer a picnic gathering is definitely on the list. Whether for an outdoor concert, or at a lake, or a park, I’ve grown to think they’re pretty fun, actually. Thank the cheese. But really the wine.
And since TH has been cooking up a storm and his current style is casual, simple summer, I think he’d pack a darn good meal. So he’s for sure invited. You can check out his food blog here.
That leaves me to gathering the picnic basics. So when Red Envelope contacted me to participate in their Anatomy of A Picnic Guide, I thought it was the ideal fit to show my picnic style. I mean, stile.
1. // 2. // 3. // 4. // 5. // 6. // 7. // 8.
In lieu of a traditional picnic basket, I chose a woven tote which can be used for the pool or beach. Plus, it’s on sale.
I wanted to add some color and pattern so pink cocktail napkins and coordinating disposable cups show the cute side of my stile.
For color contrast, I went for yellow plates to coordinate with the wooden forks. Also disposable.
For an evening picnic, an insect repellent candle will keep you from having to share your food with bugs and add some glow if you’re on a romantic one. Don’t forget the matches to light it up.
Tying it all together is the beautiful honeycomb throw, a great backdrop for all the delicious food.
Happy Thursday!
