Picnic Perfect

Tomorrow night I will be at Tanglewood with friends for the 75th Gala Concert with performances by James Taylor, Yo Yo Ma and many other crazy talented musicians.

While we have great seats for the concert, we will be picnicking on the grass for dinner (a Tanglewood tradition). Here are some stylish picnic picks that I would love to take with me.

Paper plates get an upgrade with these melamine DISHES

Stylish CANDLELIGHT

For summer entertaining I use these acrylic GLASSES all the time and so does Dixie. You truly can not tell they are plastic until you touch them. Perfect for a picnic!

Wondering what to serve? 

How clever to put crudite and dip together in a baguette! 

Mason jars are all the rage for outdoor dining. They are perfect for picnics like this QUINOA SALAD.

For summer sips I love Sofia Copola Rose and Sparkling Wine
