Fabulous Fall Picnics

Summer barbeques are over and the season has officially changed to fall. The air is crisper, the leaves are changing and it’s finally time to picnic without the stifling heat in the way. Fall brings plenty of opportunities for picnics, but you don’t need to just grab a basket, blanket and some sandwiches. Make your fall time with friends and family magical with these chic picnic ideas.   

Harvest Theme 

Do you have a celebration approaching and aren't sure what to do? This is a great time of year to have a chic picnic in the park for a birthday, shower or simply to get together with family or friends. A harvest themed chic picnic can include a spread of gorgeous gourds, some carefully placed corn husks and rustic accouterments. Fall leaf-colored linens and a seasonal menu will have your guests shocked at the style and elegance of this chic fall picnic. Rich reds, browns and golds create a wonderful ambience. Or you could opt for more of a pampas grass, white and beige vibe.  

Mums and pumpkins also go a long way to take your simple picnic and give it that touch of class to take it into a whole new world. Rich foods and delicious drinks coupled with the crunch of leaves under your feet will make any time of day, the perfect time of day for a picnic.  

Fall Flannel 

You can create the chic picnic of your dreams this fall with a flannel themed tablescape. Use a couple of flannels that complement each other such as a wide print red and black coupled with a finer print gold and black to create a warm fall afternoon. A solid tablecloth and flannel napkins can also create a chic picnic vibe coupled with a few white candles and little gourds.  

Or, go more traditional with a giant flannel blanket and the picnic basket of your dreams. Done right, a blanket and basket can be a chic picnic lunch for a romantic date. Some delicious fall inspired gourmet sandwiches and a delicious soup in thermos can help elevate a simple picnic.  

Halloween Picnics 

Spooky parties aren't tacky or just for children. You can have a chic picnic spread with a dark theme and not overdo it. A professional event planner can take your witchy needs and make a gorgeous gothic picnic for you and your closest friends. Black and white with pops of color or a gray pallet with pops of black and some dry ice can create a spooky, Halloween ambience with a grown-up vibe.  

Dark, long stem roses, some wine and exquisite hors d'oeuvres can take your spooky picnic from simple to chic in a matter of moments. Specialty ghostly drinks and desserts to die for can be on the menu with a catered event made of Halloween dreams and screams.  

Corporate Fall Events 

A chic picnic isn't just for the small quaint gatherings. You can turn a boring corporate event into a fabulous Instagram moment with an event planner that specializes in elevating your picnic experience. Your company or brand will be sure to thrive during a fabulous fall event. Take the stuffiness out of a traditional professional gathering and make it a charming time together.  An event planner can take a space and turn it into a magical experience with installations, tablescaping and design ideas you could never imagine.
