Imagine a spread of delectable food upon a not-so-basic mat, with decorative dried flowers and gorgeous sheer drapes under some fairy lights – sounds like a beautiful setting for a picnic, but also sounds like a hassle to do everything on your own. Well, the good thing is that picnic planning is a small but growing service in Singapore that’ll help you make the occasion one to remember – especially if you’re celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and the like. Just remember the cake and the presents!
Picneeds
Two-year-old Picneeds prides itself on sourcing from halal-certified stores and supermarkets for all food items. What’s more, they have a selection of five themes from the chic A Class Act to the bohemian-inspired Bohobo available so you don’t have to fuss over too much of the details. That said, you can choose to customise your picnic as well, simply get in touch. They have fun add-ons like Polaroid cameras as well.
Prices start from $150. Picneeds is located at 621 Aljunied Road, Singapore 389834, e. picneeds@gmail.com. Find them on Instagram here.
Plan B
Helmed by Sara Nazirah and Noura Aljunied, Plan B was born in the process of planning a friend’s birthday, and the service has expanded beyond friends and family since. With set ups in a mostly neutral tone and possibilities of add ons such as curtains and fairy light canopies, Plan B picnics are artistic with a touch of magical – particularly when viewed at night under the lights.
