Organising your wedding reception in the form of a picnic is a highly original idea and a very convivial way of celebrating your marriage. The picnic can be as simple or as formal as you like. You can have a buffet and a barrel full of cold drinks, or a formal reception with waiters offering petits fours and bubbles in crystal glasses. This style of reception is perfect for children, allowing them to roam free and enjoy outdoor play. What we love about picnic-style wedding receptions is total freedom that is given to your creativity in organisation and design.
The most popular picnic weddings are those where the ceremony and reception take place in the same place. Imagine a ceremony in a field or on the beach followed by a picnic! Most of the time, guests are given a picnic basket on arrival, which contains their meals. What's more, the food can be adapted to your guests' dietary restrictions or choices. A beautiful picnic basket can make a big visual impact depending on the theme of your picnic wedding. Here are a few tips on how to make your reception a success
