Why a luxe picnic works for a girls trip

The laziest feast, and somehow the prettiest.

Every group has a picnic it has been planning for years. Somebody owns the perfect rug. Somebody else has a basket she bought for exactly this and has never used.

Then nobody wants to carry the esky, or find the spot, or be the one who forgot the bottle opener. So the picnic stays a Pinterest board.

A styled spread, everybody lying around on cushions, and nowhere to be until the light goes gold. That’s the afternoon the group chat keeps describing.

The picnic everyone pinned, without anyone carrying the esky.

What a luxe picnic is like

Set up before you arrive, packed away after.

A luxe picnic usually means a styled setup waiting for your group: rugs or low tables, cushions, something pretty to eat and drink, and someone else doing the setting up and packing away.

  1. It is already set up.

    Rugs, cushions and a low table waiting, and the first ten minutes spent taking photos before anyone sits down.

  2. A spread nobody had to carry.

    Something to graze, something sparkling, and hands reaching across for whatever looks best.

  3. The long, lazy middle.

    Shoes off, someone lying with her head in someone else’s lap, and the conversation going wherever it likes.

  4. A grazing board laid out on a kitchen bench for a night in

    Then make it a weekend.

    Book it, then pick a girls weekend in your city, with somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

Five women raising their glasses over shared plates at a long lunch

We had a fantastic experience dealing with My Ultimate.

Friendly, responsive and very knowledgeable. Every part of the conversation felt tailored to what I had actually told them rather than a scripted sales process.

For anyone who is trying to organise several personalities and wants some certainty around the decision, I would definitely recommend speaking to them.

Patricia Murphy, 65

The thing I would recommend My Ultimate for is not one particular inclusion.

It was the overall thought behind the weekend.

Everything was close enough together, there was time to actually enjoy where we were and the weekend never felt like we were ticking items off an itinerary.

It felt easy, but clearly quite a lot of thought goes into making something feel easy.

Kelly, 47

A picnic, or a whole girls weekend

The spread, then keep going.

A picnic is a lovely afternoon. Then somebody has to pack up, the light goes and everyone heads off in different directions.

A My Ultimate weekend is the whole thing in one booking: somewhere to stay, something to do built in, the food, the drinks and where to next, so the day turns into a weekend together.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place.
