The way we gather is changing. There’s a growing shift towards smaller, slower, and more beautiful moments — ones that take place under open skies, with meaningful styling and a strong connection to nature.

In Dubai, beach picnics have become one of the most requested formats for intimate celebrations — from birthdays and bridal showers to private proposals and weekend dinners. They offer space to breathe, pause, and be fully present. And when done well, they’re nothing short of unforgettable. At Rooh, we’re seeing a few standout trends that are shaping the way people want to celebrate outdoors.

1. Picnics That Feel Editorial, Not Casual

Luxury doesn’t mean over-the-top — it means intentional. Clients are opting for thoughtfully styled setups that feel curated, not crowded. Low tables, linen-blend cloths, layered florals, and natural textures like jute and wood are all on the rise. It’s about effortless beauty that looks like it belongs in a magazine.

2. Soft Colour Palettes + Seasonal Touches

From sunset-toned runners to pastel florals and golden accents, the most popular colour palettes are soft, romantic, and seasonally grounded. Neutral tones still lead the way, but clients are becoming bolder with layering — mixing in dusty blues, warm terracottas, and blush-toned décor.

3. Bridal & Baby Showers, Reimagined

Our most booked packages now include setups for bridal showers and gender-neutral baby showers by the sea — complete with custom signage, floral backdrops, Polaroid guest tables, and styled food corners. It’s relaxed, beautiful, and perfect for photos without the pressure of a formal venue.

4. Picnics With a Purpose

Clients are leaning into experiences that do more than just look pretty. We’re seeing an increase in add-ons like:

Henna artists for bridal celebrations
Mocktail bars and grazing tables
Painting or floral crown stations
Ramadan-style setups with lanterns, dates, and warm lighting

Guests don’t just sit and eat — they interact, connect, and create.

5. Simple Planning, Seamless Execution

The final trend? Clients want the feeling of luxury without the stress of planning. That’s why we offer a clear, catalogue-based system with packages for 2 to 16 people — including everything from table styling to food and photography.

Once your date is booked, we take care of everything. You arrive, enjoy, and leave knowing it’s all been handled.

READY TO PLAN YOURS?

We don’t just style picnics — we design settings that feel connected to their environment, true to the people they’re for, and unforgettable in the way they make you feel. Every choice, from the candle height to the rug colour, is made with intention. It’s soft luxury, grounded in nature.
