Think a luxury picnic has to come with a luxury price tag? Think again.
At Qora Events, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful experience, no matter the budget. From intimate date nights to small parties with your closest friends, a dreamy picnic is within reach — and we’re here to help make it happen.
Let’s talk about how to plan a stunning picnic on any budget — and how Qora Events can turn your vision into reality.
Start With Your Guest Count
Your guest list is the single biggest factor in your budget.
- Small & intimate: A cozy picnic for 2-4 lets you splurge on beautiful details like elegant table settings, luxe pillows, and lush florals.
- Small group: Hosting 6-12? Focus on shared grazing boards and stylish décor that makes a big impact without stretching your budget too far.
- Larger groups: The per-person cost can drop when you spread décor costs across more guests — but you’ll still want to prioritize where you spend.
Pick Your Picnic Priorities
Even on a budget, you can have wow factor. Ask yourself:
What matters most to you?
- A stunning backdrop or balloon arch?
- Gorgeous florals?
- Specialty tableware and styling?
- Comfortable seating lounges?
- A customized sign or theme?
Choose one or two “hero pieces,” and keep the rest simple. A single statement element can transform your whole setup.
Décor Doesn’t Have to Break the Bank
Luxury isn’t always about price — it’s about thoughtful details:
- Neutral rugs and blankets can feel elevated and cozy.
- Simple bud vases with a few fresh blooms make lovely table accents. (I even use fruit as vases)
- Candles in glass holders add instant ambiance.
- Blush and neutral color palettes look chic and timeless — even on a budget.
At Qora Events, we have an inventory of elegant décor pieces you can rent, saving you from buying expensive items you may only use once.
Think Inside or Outside the Box
Outdoor picnics are beautiful — but don’t forget about indoor options:
- Your living room transformed into a boho-chic haven.
- A sunroom or balcony for smaller gatherings.
- A rented studio space for bigger groups.
Indoor picnics can be just as magical, especially during colder months or unpredictable weather.
Food: Simple Can Still Be Stunning
A luxury picnic doesn’t require a lavish catered spread:
- Charcuterie boards are crowd-pleasers and easy to customize.
- Fresh fruits, pastries, and sparkling drinks look gorgeous and feel special.
- Individually packaged treats keep things budget-friendly and hygienic.
It’s all about presentation — even simple snacks look fabulous styled on pretty boards and elegant tableware.
