The menu is arguably the most important element of your luxury picnic. Today we’re going over the Vegan Delights Luxury Picnic Menu to inspire your own themed outdoor dining experience. Personalize it to suit your preference and the needs of your guests. Create your own unforgettable experience.

This is another blog post in the Luxury Picnic Menu Series. Links to all the posts in this series are down below.

Decor

For this particular luxury picnic I think it’d be fun to incorporate an elevated bohemian-inspired vibe. This will be easy to try outdoors since your backdrop is already set. You can incorporate lots of layers, textured throws, and neutral colored items. Arrange your floor cushions to encourage intimate conversation. Use a low wooden table and top it with a linen or woven table runner to set things off. Instead of fresh flowers, a few well place potted plants (or even herbs) would bring a more natural element. If you’re up for it, let your inner maximalist shine here.

Entertainment

You can’t go wrong with outdoor games like Cornhole (also known as a Bean Bag Toss, where I’m from) or Bocce Ball. Small board games like Checkers or Mancala are not too tough to transport as well. We love our oversized Connect 4 around here but the Tic Tac To gets played just as often.

The need for music is real sometimes. Take the time beforehand to curate a relaxing playlist for this luxury picnic.

Think of fun ways that you and your guests might want to capture memories of this picnic—besides the quintessential selfie. You could provide tiny canvases to paint, blank coasters to decorate, or even an instant camera station.

Beverage Pairings

With the right drink pairings and stylish presentation, your vegan luxury picnic will feel elevated, refreshing, and perfectly curated. In order to make the beverage station fit with the rest of your luxury picnic there are a few details to consider. A well-paired beverage can enhance the flavors of your picnic menu while adding a refreshing, luxurious touch.

• Sustainable: Using glass carafes or other re-usable drink dispensers will cut down on waste. If you have a need for them, provide individual bottles with customized labels that each guest can take home as a souvenir. Offer reusable metal or bamboo straws.
• Memorable: Chill drinks ahead of time in an aesthetic woven basket filled with ice to keep them cold while complementing the picnic decor. You could even include edible flower garnishes for an elegant finishing touch.

For those who want a hydrating and flavorful experience without alcohol, consider fresh fruit infusions, iced herbal teas, sparkling ciders or lemonades, or even matcha for a slightly caffeinated option.

If your luxury picnic includes cocktails or wines, opt for vegan-friendly choices such as an aperol spritz, fruity mojito, or white sangria. Muddle fresh mint or include fresh citrus fruit slices.
