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.
