Planning a Picnic for your Elopement
Planning a sweet outdoor elopement in Asheville?
A picnic is the perfect addition! Let me offer a few tips.
What to Pack:
-Snacks, choose your favorites and remember some food are messier than others!
-Drinks, especially water
-Blanket, bring 2 if one side isn't water resistant in case there's mud or buy a cheap drop cloth to protect your photo-ready blanket
-Cooler with ice packs, even if that's just to hold items in your car during the drive before you transfer everything to a cute basket for photos
-Plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, serving wares
-Corkscrew/bottle opener + cork for unfinished bottles
-Wet wipes for sticky things
-Trash bag, always leave no trace
Pro Tips:
-Pre-slice items like the fruit, bread loaf, cheeses and/or focus on finger foods.
-Use the restroom before you hop in the car, only some trails offer facilities.
-Alcohol isn't allowed in most popular park spots, check for permitting before you pack your basket.
-Rain is always a risk. Do you have a backup location? Could you open up the back of your SUV in a pinch for your picnic?
Prefer someone else create the picnic of your dreams so you don't have to worry about it?
I can't imagine a better day to outsource than your wedding. These companies can handle the details and get you setup for a simple pick-up.
