Golden beaches, lush tropical gardens, or a breath-taking backdrop of majestic mountains… In KZN we are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to outdoor venues. But a posh picnic setup will turn any venue into a Valentine’s Day to remember.
• Start with a personalised invitation: A romantic note, delivered to your Valentine, with a beautifully packaged miniature version of their favourite beverage. A mini G&T complete with personalised tumbler, or perhaps a bottle of bubbly.
• At your chosen venue, create a beautiful entrance to the picnic area. A pathway lined with photos and candles is a simple, understated gesture. Create a trail of favourite flowers for them to follow.
• At the end of the pathway setup a soft faux-fur throw and cushions. Surround the seating area with a variety of candles in glass cylinders. Incorporate your Valentine’s favourite colour as part of your chosen theme, or opt for a neutral palette with touches of colour for a chic finish.
• Prepare a tray with your choice of drinks, an ice bucket with some petals, and beautiful crystal glassware. Pack your favourite snacks in a large picnic basket. (Canapes provide elegant eats that are easy to enjoy without a fuss.)
• A sprinkle of rose petals over the setup, and voila! All that’s left is to pop the bubbly and enjoy a perfect Valentine’s picnic.
