Planning a picnic and wondering which flowers would make a perfect centerpiece for your table or blanket? There are many blooms you can turn to, but we think the following are perfect.

The flowers listed below are ideal for creating a peaceful, romantic, or relaxing setting that’s idyllic for a picnic meal.

Daisies

Daisies are lovely flowers for a picnic because they seem to speak of the beauty of the outdoors. Daisies, either big or small ones, are carefree and just what’s needed for a wistful encounter on a leisurely day or evening. Choose Gerbera daisies in white, pink, or orange, or go for a bouquet of traditional small yellow daisies.

Sunflowers

If you want to bring tons of cheer to your outdoor picnic, opt for sunflowers. Place them in a tall vase (make sure it’s one with a solid base if you’ll be setting in on soft grass or sand) and put them in the middle of your picnic spread. Let them provide an atmosphere filled with happiness and beauty, as you enjoy a lunch or dinner with someone special.

Roses

Roses are wonderful for a picnic date. We love red roses in an arrangement if you’re picnicking with someone you have strong feelings of love for, but you can just as easily go with pink or white roses and bring whatever level of romance you’re comfortable with to your picnic encounter. Roses come in many shapes and sizes, so have fun choosing the perfect ones for your occasion.

It doesn’t matter if you’re picnicking with a true love, your kids, or a group of friends, you can bring beauty to your special time by including flower arrangements as part of your bounty. We even love the idea of making edible flowers part of a picnic by using them in salads, lemonades, and yummy baked sweets.
