Valentines Day isn't just about celebrating love with your partner, so we've put together a little DIY on how to create a beautiful Picnic Set up with your Girlfriends this Valentines Day.
You can't tell us that there is anything better than heading down to your local beach (or park) with your besties (dogs included!) on a sunny afternoon, listening to your favourite tunes, enjoying a delicious platter of snacks, sipping bubbles and sharing lols of the month together. Putting yourself and your besties love first, sharing special moments and creating memories together is all that life is about.
Forget the over-priced Roses, booked out restaurants and general Valentines Day pressure (Ok but keep the cute jewellery....) get your girlfriends together instead to celebrate love and friendship this valentines Day with a cute outdoor picnic.
Here's 4 Easy Steps on how to Create a Perfect Beach (or Park) Picnic Set up.
1. Pick a Location
Location is key to a winning picnic as it sets the entire vibe, especially upon arrival. Here at Luna & Rose we're huge fans of Water so we're always hunting out beautiful Lakes, Beaches, Rivers for our casual picnic hangs. Some ideas if you like in a City are a local parks, positioned under a cute tree and away from any road noise, rooftops, Kids playground areas (often quiet after 4pm, just saying!), hillsides, a friends backyard or your favourite town square. OR perhaps you all want to jump in the car and head off to a farm just out of town for a change of scene! Things to consider when picking a location are:
2. Prepare the Goodies
Here's the fun part! If you are organising the picnic, here is a list of things to remember to bring. Another good idea is to delegate a few things to each person who's coming along to share the load.
Other good ideas of things to bring is some food coverings (goodbye pesky flies!) A laptop if you want to snuggle up and watch a movie, a spare towel for any spills, a rug or extra top for when it gets chilly and some extra cups.
Instead of a Snack Platter you could also make salads such as our delicious Soba Noodle Salad or Mint & Pea salad you can find here on our Blog. Otherwise - Pizza anyone!?
3. Gather the troops!
Send out an invite via Whatsapp, Facebook Event or go old school and write a personal card and pop it in their letterbox ahead of time! Depending on the vibe of your tribe and timing of your event, you can either opt for a last minute 'Picnic this afternoon at beach x, bring something to eat & see you there' or schedule for a date ahead of time. Planning is great for busy Mums, working with the weather if it's a bit iffy in your home town and to get a gauge on the number of people who might be coming.
4. Arrive 30 mins early to set things up & prep some games.
Lay out the Blankets, scatter the pillows around the outside edges. Put together your platter, get the tunes on, pour yourself a wine and you're ready to go girl!
Picnics really are such a special way to sit back & enjoy the moment with your loved ones out in the fresh open air. Whether you're young or old, a great picnic session with your Girlfriends, Mum or Loved one is truly a moment in time to be cherished!
Because, how cool is an evening to celebrate your main gal-pals that you get to do life with!?

At Luna & Rose, we believe that every piece of jewelry tells a unique story. Whether its the person who gave it to you, the process of purchasing it, who you purchased it from, the travels you were on or the journey you decided to share with your chosen piece of jewellery.
With the idea of connection through jewellery, we created our Soleo collection — a range of 2 Heirloom-style Rings that are completely customisable.
Rosie, founder of Luna & Rose, shares the story and inspiration behind these unique creations.
At Luna & Rose, we love good stories - especially one that gets recycled! That’s why we created the Golden Giveback program: a sustainable initiative that transforms your old jewelry into new, ethical, and refined creations while supporting local craftsmanship. The result? Less waste, more style, and a planet that thanks us!
