Enchanted Evening Picnic, by GARDENIA PICNIC!…read more
After a few very smooth, and easy texts with Niveen, of GARDENIA PICNIC, we had our picnic planned and booked! And - I am so honored to say, we were their first guests!
Being a wife, mother of two grown children, and grandmother to 4 littles, I spend a lot of time with our family. These days, with my grandchildren ranging from 2-7 years old, that time isn't always spent focused on the adults in the family (do we even remember how to have an adult conversation? LOL). So, I wanted to do something special for my husband, our children, and their spouses.
My idea was to celebrate "just because"!We are winegrape farmers and winemakers; having just finished our harvest for the year! There are no birthdays or anniversaries in our immediate family in October. And we hadn't hit the holiday season yet. So this truly was just because.
Happy to have harvest season behind me, in choosing our "theme" of the picnic, I requested an emphasis on Autumn.
Our setting was my daughter's backyard. GARDENIA PICNIC transformed it into a magical, Fall setting; with Autumn colors, and foods - including a gorgeous autumnal themed cake! Yum!!
The decor was exquisite; down to the small details. Everything was thought out thoroughly and placed perfectly.
Being a "picnic", and not a full-blown traditional meal, the foods were appropriate to that, and in very generous proportions. The menu offers a nice variety of items, and we all enjoyed the selections tremendously!
We were blown away by the beauty and thoughtful touches of our picnic! GARDENIA PICNIC pays attention to detail. They will absolutely do their utmost to make your picnic a perfect party; whether it's just the two of you, or a special accommodation for 6, as we were.
Niveen is so sweet! You will be delighted!
