Enjoy a front-row view of autumn’s magnificent color show by gathering for a fall picnic influenced by the season’s robust flavors. Peruse our décor ideas and six tasty recipes.
Glimpsing Glory
As painterly scenes of crimson, gold, and amber unfurl all around, venture outside for a little leaf-peeping and a delicious meal. Mismatched linens, timber-motif flatware, and copper mugs dress up a rustic table. Arranged in vintage brass vessels, maroon flowers and leaf-laden branches complement the woodsy locale, along with scattered pine cones, acorns, and pumpkins.
Savor the Bounty
Refreshing Sides
Two crisp salads—one brimming with shaved Brussels sprouts, fennel, and dates (above) and the other with barley, rainbow chard, and apples (below)—make delicious additions to the harvest-inspired menu. Wrap flatware in pretty napkins and fasten with ribbon for an inviting touch.
Sugar and Spice
Serve luscious Caramel Pots de Crème sprinkled with flaky sea salt and molasses-laced cookies as sweet endnotes for this blissfully laid-back fall picnic.
