An occasion for a picnic can be special whether its planned on a beach, under the stars or set within the landscape of your home. But there is nothing like an evening picnic with shimmering lights. Your lighting element whether it be beachy, modern, industrial, romantic or vintage will bring a bit of magic! Here are some finds which can inspire your next nightfall picnic:
The Saratoga lantern is so chic with its rugged leather handle strap contrasted with the sleek metal base. Its made of brass and is a great centerpiece standing at 17″ X 10″ X 10″. The juxtaposition of flowers, colorful food and a patterned blanket against the hard lines of the metal could be really beautiful.
For a romantic picnic, how about Glass Mason filled jars hanging from trees? So charming who needs the stars? The extraordinary can happen at night under twinkling lights.
