LET'S GO FOR A PICNIC!

These late spring / early summer months are quite possibly the best time of the year. Especially living in Finland, you really (REALLY) appreciate the end of a loooong winter, the first time when you can go out without a coat. We love the beauty of nature with all the fresh greens and lots of light.

A perfect time to take your dinner, lunch or breakfast outside! We love picnics and outdoor parties. So, today we thought we'd inspire you to host a little picnic for friends or family with these two awesome ideas by Bash, Please.




We'd love to be invited to a french picnic like this one created by the gals for Bash, Please for Design*Sponge (photography: tinywater). To put something like this together, get your hands on some wine boxes, your favorite french picnic foods, some fresh berries + vintage glassware and herbs to style the setting and create the french ambiance. Super-easy, but oh so lovely. Just carry everything to the nearest park in the wine boxes, then turn them upside down to use as serving tables. Add a little candlelight and you're golden.

Or invite over your friends to your backyard for an outdoor movie night. Sure, this isn't quite as simple, cause you will need a movie projector and set up a screen (just tie a piece of white fabric between two trees), but the result will be awesome and your friends will surely love you for it.
