Vintage picnic: 5 tips with timeless taste

Summer is coming and there is a great desire to spend time outside: discover how to add a bit of vintage to your pic-nics and trips out of town and enjoy the warm season with a load of unique pieces of timeless charm!

Here are some tips to make your picnics and nature trips unique for this summer. Enjoy the days outdoors with a style unmistakable from the past!

  1. Choose the location well: the right place makes the difference. Once on the site, no matter whether it is in the countryside or in a mountain setting, at the beach or simply in a park, consider the space around you carefully: study the ground so as not to run into rocks, uncomfortable potholes or muddy areas that could compromise the relaxing atmosphere.
  2. It's time to roll out your blanket...or rather, your carpet! Yes, that's right, a rug made of cotton or natural materials can be the perfect substitute for the classic blanket for a refined and a bit bohemian picnic on which you can then lay your favourite tablecloth. Also, use a good selection of pillows to create a relaxing and comfortable composition, your guests will appreciate the attention you paid to these small details.
  3. Take everything you need to set your table on grass out of the basket! Classic and elegant porcelain plates go perfectly with an English silver cutlery service to immediately feel immersed in the atmosphere of the great classics of romantic literature. A nice set of glasses is perfect to toast the long summer days and the coming holidays.
  4. A comfortable picnic can be arranged. Who said that you have to drive miles to enjoy a day in the open air? A picnic can also be improvised in your own backyard. Bring out everything you need with a vintage cart: practical and stylish, it will allow you to carry several things at once and without effort.
  5. Also prepare some more ergonomic seating: there is always a diner who doesn't like to sit on the floor, don't hold it against them. Anticipate this need by bringing along lightweight or folding chairs; they are easy to move, take up little space and often have fun colours with which to liven up the whole set.

    Days spent outside deserve to be experienced in the best possible way: with friends and family, with a smile, sunshine and a vintage touch!
