Boho-inspired Outdoor Soiree
My girl Ashley wanted to celebrate her 30th birthday in a special way so she planned the ULTIMATE boho picnic party. From the gorgeous rugs and eucalyptus to the cute glassware and selection of cheese, everything was picture-perfect, colorful, and delicious. I’m excited to share this post because I believe that balancing time with friends and creating beautiful moments can be a form of self-care – there’s something about community and good food that brings warmth to the soul.
Thinking about planning your own boho picnic party? Read on for tips and ideas on how to host your own boho-style inspired outdoor soirée.
1. Choose a scenic location that’s easily accessible. Plan on multiple trips from your car to the location to transport supplies, food, and decor. That said, choose a picnic spot that doesn’t require an arduous trek to and from the car. Whether its a quiet spot on the beach, park, garden, or rooftop, try to find a place with a pretty view!
2. Layer blankets for seating. A colorful rug layered with light blankets and an accent throw will look and feel cozy and warm.
3. Keep food simple. Think finger foods like caprese skewers, cheese and crackers, cold meats, seasonal fruit and veges, and bread and dip. Decorate your spread with artisan bread and colorful fruits like pomegranate, grapefruit, and figs.
4. Pair your food with a refreshing drink: Bring chilled wine, rosé, or sparkling water to enjoy with your food!
5. Bring accent pieces and greenery for decor! Consider getting a Straw Flat Seat Cushion for a makeshift table and straw table mats to display the food. Wood cheese boards, fresh eucalyptus, gold candle holders, vintage inspired glasses, and natural dried wheat bundles can help create a warm and inviting boho-vibe.
6. Add music. Bring a portable speaker and play your favorite tunes!
7. Eat, drink, and be merry! After all the work is done with setting up your special picnic, give a toast, and enjoy the moment together!
