How to throw a Valentine's Day picnic with bohemian style

Even if you’re not head over heels, Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to stage a stylish get-together with friends or loved ones.

Who doesn’t need a great excuse to glam up your favourite picnic rug, pop a bunch of cushions in the car and light a collection of lanterns?

Here’s a menu to get you inspired:

Top tips to picnic in style

1. Set up a makeshift tent with a sheet or boho bedspread and a battery-operated garland of fairy lights

2. Throw around a generous spread of cushions for maximum snuggle value

3. Fill a basket with cosy rugs so you can stay out all night

4. Tuck in some candles with jars for wind protection 

5. Go the extra mile to pack glass, rather than plastic to drink your wine from - it makes all the difference! Wrap carefully in cotton tea-towels or cute napkins

Glamp it up

Elevate your picnic with a trestle table dressed to impress - keep it bohemian by adding a lush floral tablecloth, a mixed bag of cushioned garden chairs and round up a collection of lanterns to dot around the lawn* or string fairy lights from surrounding trees.

*be mindful of the very real fire risk for clothing passing over and around open flames
