Luxury Picnic Inspiration For Coronation Celebrations

As coronation celebrations are on the horizon, why not mark this special moment in history by hosting a luxury picnic? Whether you’re celebrating with family or friends, make your day even more special with a luxury Harvey Nichols hamper. From traditional picnic hampers to modern wine and cheese hampers, there’s a special treat for everyone at Harvey Nichols. Choose a picturesque location, select your hamper and create a truly unique experience that will be remembered for years to come.

Uninspired picnic blankets are a thing of the past. Add some boho-chic to your set-up with a low-level pallet table and adorn with all the trimmings. Drape a vibrant cloth across the wooden trestle table or, for a rustic vibe, opt for a table runner leaving more of the table on display. Comfort is key, as is your seating choice. Think cosy floor cushions, contemporary ottomans and plush pouffes and keep guests happy.

Now for the real fun, let your creativity shine with elegant décor and sophisticated accessories. Create an opulent vibe and dress the table with ornate lanterns, candelabras and an eye-catching centrepiece. Dried flowers and pampas grass are all the rage this season; place a bunch in a distressed vase for a striking focal point. Scatter string lights across the table, grab all your picnic essentials and get the celebrations started. Dazzle guests with glistening glassware and the finest cutlery from our contemporary collections.

It’s time to talk food. Prepare a spread fit for royalty and showcase the best of British cuisine with delicious food and refreshing drinks. Mini quiches, savoury tarts, smoked salmon and vintage cheeses – we can’t wait to tuck in. For those with a sweet tooth, a selection of macarons, petit fours and artisan chocolates will delight the senses. On this rather special occasion, swap out your usual tipple for a bottle of sparkling. We have plenty of deluxe options across our Champagne and sparkling wine range. Cater to all your guests and include non-alcoholic options too.

If you’d rather leave all the hard work to us, make your picnic planning a breeze and treat your guests to one of our deluxe food and wine hampers. They make a wonderful base for your summer picnic or a great accompaniment to your existing spread. You’ll find a few of our top picks below.
