It’s official, A Pinch of Lovely and I have discovered the ultimate way to host the perfect summer picnic! Want to know our secret? It’s called let someone else do all the work! Haha! Well, we of course still brought our own decorative bags and blankets, but Merienda New Orleans Picnic delivery service took care of everything else from the food and champagne to the flowers and serving utensils! Have a look at our photos below as well as our behind the scenes video from the picnic!

Good Morning readers, we are so excited to introduce you to Merienda, the first on-demand picnic delivery service. In partnership with Brady’s Wine Warehouse and St. James Cheese Company, Merienda offers curated picnic experiences encouraging outdoor recreation and the use of New Orleans’ ample local parks and green space.
“This picnic trifecta is the first of its kind and offers New Orleanians the finest in picnic experiences, ranging from the affordable $45 “Classic” picnic and concierge service to the $1,000 “Platinum” picnic of your dreams.” -Andrea
Interesting Fact: The name Merienda, which means picnic in Spanish leads back to the owner’s hispanic roots of Honduras.
If you’re interested in enjoying this very same delicious picnic beneath the beautiful southern oaks of New Orleans City Park, you’re in luck because A Pinch of Lovely and I are currently hosting a Merienda Picnic giveaway on Instagram. While we were picnicking, we realized we were missing something, YOU! We are so appreciate of each and everyone of you for following along with all of our blog adventures. In fact, most of them wouldn’t even be possible without you so we’d love to share some of the amazing moments with you and not just on social media, but in person!!! We want to get to know as many of you as we can so we are going to start hosting monthly brunches, lunches, dinners, coffee dates, you name it just to hang out with you guys.
We are so excited to take you out to our favorite spots around town to wine and dine you. Don’t worry if you don’t live near us because the locations will often change as we travel, but this first one will require the winner (and a guest) to be available in or around the New Orleans area for the picnic. Where would you like us to take you next? Let us know your ideas by emailing us at jenn.hauteofftherack@gmail.com or apinchoflovely@gmail.com.
Check our Instagram accounts today (@apinchoflovely & @hauteofftherack) to enter the giveaway!
