Why most beach picnics fail
Don’t let the wind get you down
Whenever you plan a beach picnic you can pretty much count on wind. And if there’s no wind, then you better bring bug spray! Here are some quick tips to make sure your table doesn’t blow away.
Fill your vases with sand instead of water. Place stems in floral tubes then insert. If you have a large bouquet, wrap it with wet paper towels and foil then insert them.
Wrap your flatware with napkins or napkin ring and place on your plates.
Use balloon weights to hold down stemware
Use silver candle holders for tapers, tea light holders, and battery operated lights
Sometimes I also use decorative glass weights and they look gorgeous on the table as well
Bonus Tip: Leave your crackers in the cellophane package until last minute - the salt air will wilt them like crazy!
