Eloping has always been special to me but it's extra special in the times of COVID! We're all adjusting our old goals and dreams to fit into our new reality, at least for now. Eloping to the mountains is the picture-perfect way to still get married and keep it safe. We covered what to pack for your outdoor elopement, now what about if you're planning a picnic for two, too? What to Pack for your Elopement Picnic: -Food, 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 -Cooler with ice packs, even if that's just for the car because you have a cute basket for photos! -Plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, serverware -Corkscrew/bottle opener + cork for unfinished bottles -Wet wipes for sticky things -Trash bag, always leave no trace Don't forget: -Bug spray -Sunscreen -Sunglasses Tips: -Pre-slice items like the fruit, baguette, cheeses or focus on finger foods. -Be sure to use the restroom before your picnic, 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 back-up location like your front porch? Could you open up the back of an SUV in a pinch for your picnic? Most of these set-ups are quite elaborate but there's no harm in some inspiration! Check out these gorgeous settings! Prefer someone else create the picnic of your dreams so you don't have to worry about it? I hear ya!
I love a great reason to outsource and 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. I highly recommend: The Rhu - some of my favorite pastries and salads in town! Asheville Picnic Company - locally sourced goodies from everyone's favorite Asheville makers! Tick Tock Concierge - Asheville's top concierge service who can manage any request you have! Happy picnic-ing.
