Dancing Branflake Picnic Party

Picnics are one of my favorite things.
I believe they promote healthy eating, lots of laughter, and pretty, easy breezy dresses. 

The Decor
is adorned with sweet lanterns, wild flowers, and a giant tree to set the mood.

The Menu
is fresh, healthy, and portable.
I am loving the olive and tomato appetizer. So smart!
Beef tenderloin sandwiches with herb mayonnaise
Cherry tomatoes and olives wrapped in prosciutto, 
Three bean salad with honey mustard vinaigrette
Corn bread bites
Strawberry lemonade



What I'm Wearing
is a little casual, a little dressy, and very appropriate for a walk in the woods.

The Favor
Each guest gets one to enjoy the fruits of Spring.
From Martha Stewart Weddings


I hope you all have a sunny weekend fit for a picnic!
ps... I always think of Jane Austen's Emma when I think of picnics.
pps... thank you all for your comments in yesterday's post.
It was very near and dear to my heart and I love that I got to share it with you.

Picnics are my obsession. I feel that I would love anyone who took me on a picnic forever and ever. What a wondrous setting for a party, Tiffany. And I LOVE what you are wearing! :)

I want it to be real! WOW! I am stealing the cherry tomatoes idea! And those clothes?! LOVE! I have to ask again - what program do you use for pics? I love it more then polyvore.

I LOVE this... I want it to be spring already so I can have lazy picnics in sunny parks while wearing floaty dresses. It was one of my favourite things about being back in Australia - lots of picnics. Happy weekend!

I am LOVING the personal sized pies! I saw on pinterest that someone used a muffin pan, but I just wonder who they got them out with ease?

VintageDanielle said...
