Freshly cut flowers, ice cold drinks and decadent food…nothing says Nantucket in the summertime quite like a picnic with your closest friends and family. Here’s a few tips and tricks to create an experience you’ll savor well after sunset.
- Picnics are an opportunity to balance curated design with casual vibes and fun. Every detail, including seating, table, decor, food and drink, should play nice together. We love making them interactive by engaging all your senses and getting guests involved with a few icebreaker games.
- A picture-perfect picnic is a work of art built from the ground up. For seating we recommend layering comfortable throw pillows and blankets with a nice low, sturdy table. When it’s time to set your table, melamine dishware is our go-to. It’s durable, easy to clean and very picnic-friendly. We found this to be a great alternative to fine porcelain or ceramic, and we love having reusable dishes to help with our environmental impact.
- Now time for the fun part: making a statement with your décor. Use your picnic to create an atmosphere or set a mood, or pick a theme and look to your surroundings for inspiration. You can enhance the coastal environment by decorating your table with sunset colors or keep it simple and sophisticated with neutral shades.
