Picnics Do Not Always Have To Be "Rustic," They Can Be Elegant Too!

I have bee in love with this idea every since I started planning my wedding way back in Fall 2008. It is the absolute height of picnic elegance. Look at it! It's is simple, yet luxurious; fun, yet refined, and relaxed yet stylish.

What you would need:

A cozy blanket for every couple, family, or group.
Comfy, fluffy pillows for every guest
A vase of pink peonies for every blanket (I imagine flower foam is used to prevent spills)
And an individual, whicker picnic basket for every blanket.

What would you put in your picnic basket? Gourmet Roasted Chicken Salad? Potato Salad with Creme Fraiche? Fresh grilled vegetables from the local farmer's market? A loaf of crusty rustic bread? Rhubarb Lemonade? Wine? European truffles? Wedding cupcakes? Unique family recipes?

How fabulous is this!? I absolutely love this idea. It's cost effective and relaxed and there are endless possibilities design wise. Whenever I get married, this idea will definitely be making it's way into the design, whether it's for the bridal shower, brunch, or even during the wedding itself! Thanks for the great inspiration : )

A picnic wedding sounds fun! The picture above looks very elegant, I bet a picnic wedding could compliment any themed wedding.

[...] you ever considered having a picnic wedding? Hind Sight Bride has a picture of an elegant picnic wedding along with a few ideas of what to include in each picnic basket. No matter what your wedding theme [...]

you're making me hungry…

Fluffy pillows sounds ideal. Though I probably would just lay down instead of taking pictures…

No problem Derek, pictures from that lower perspective are cool ;-)

omg! thats the coolest thing I've ever seen! Probably not a good idea for a winter wedding though :)

Well, no…unless you’re wedding is near the equator :-P
