Anyone else getting slightly giddy at the sight of the words “summer picnic”"! We. Are. So. Ready. Which is why when photog Laurel Klein and floral designer Michelle Selko hooked up for these earthy boho picnic ideas, we made sure to get some entertaining tips for ya as well. And we couldn’t help but round up some of our fave light, airy, bohemian dress ideas while we were at it…

Michelle explains, The design was meant to seem as though when life may be feeling like a little too much to handle, you can close your eyes and picture yourself in the most beautiful place, sitting with your closest loved ones and truly embrace the beauty of your surroundings. I used all natural tones when it came to the plates, napkins, and table runner (by the lovely Silk & Willow) to truly emphasize that feeling of calmness. The low wooden table I chose was meant to make you feel that you were truly part of nature sitting close to Earth. I chose to use mainly dried flowers that I had been drying from previous shoots I have created. I wanted the mixture of dry flowers and live flowers to bring together the essence that beauty never fades within nature and within ourselves. I wanted the overall design of the flowers to feel free and to feel that the wind naturally placed them exactly where they were meant to be.
When it comes to designing with an earthy vibe in mind, it’s all about embracing those natural surroundings.
