THE HEART BEHIND THE PICNICS
Where every detail tells a story, and every moment becomes a memory.
Jelena Šundov
owner and creative director of „Picnic with Monet“
I have always been a creative person who finds joy in hosting, creating beautiful spaces, and making people feel special. What started as a passion for styling tables and surrounding myself with flowers slowly grew into something much bigger — a way to create meaningful, unforgettable moments for others.
For the past several years, I have been curating luxury picnics and romantic proposals, carefully designing each setting to feel intimate, elegant, and unforgettable. From details and table settings to floral arrangements, each element is thoughtfully chosen to tell a story and bring a unique vision to life.
My goal is always to create an atmosphere where people can pause, celebrate, and truly feel the magic of the moment.
Because the most beautiful moments
deserve to be celebrated with care.
Proposals hold a particularly special place in my heart. Being trusted with such an important moment — the beginning of a new chapter in someone’s life — is something I never take lightly. I believe every woman deserves to feel cherished, celebrated, and deeply loved in that moment, and I approach each proposal with that sentiment in mind.
Larger picnics are another space where my creativity truly shines. Over the years, I have carefully collected unique pieces and decorative elements that help transform each setup into a distinctive experience. I draw inspiration from flowers and nature, classical art, architecture, and the quiet elegance of past eras — always searching for timeless details that elevate each table and setting.
It has been an incredible honor to design and witness more than 100 proposals, each one ending with a joyful “yes.” Moments like these — filled with emotion, anticipation, and happiness — are what inspire me every day. The picnics I create have also brought countless smiles and heartfelt reactions from my clients, and nothing means more to me than knowing they feel the love and care that goes into every detail.
