From Amalfi to Tequesta: How to Create a Coastal Italian Picnic Vibe

There’s something about the Amalfi Coast that feels like pure romance—maybe it’s the vibrant citrus groves cascading down cliffside villages, the glimmering blue sea, or the way everything feels kissed by sunlight. At Sunday Company, we’ve reimagined that iconic Mediterranean energy into a breezy coastal picnic you can experience right here in South Florida.

Let us take you from Amalfi to Tequesta, where lemon-drenched moments and seaside styling set the scene for unforgettable gatherings.

🍋 When Life Gives You Lemons...

Lemons are the unofficial mascot of the Amalfi Coast, and they set the tone for our picnic palette. We use lemon-patterned textiles, real citrus fruits as centerpieces, and pops of yellow to infuse brightness into every corner. The effect is both cheerful and fresh—ideal for summer celebrations, beach birthdays, or just because.

We love pairing our citrus accents with pale blues and crisp whites to create contrast reminiscent of Mediterranean tiles and painted boats bobbing along the shore.

🍽️ La Tavola: An Italian-Inspired Spread

A great picnic is as much about the food as it is the vibe. For this theme, we recommend a menu filled with caprese skewers, prosciutto-wrapped melon, marinated olives, and focaccia with rosemary and sea salt. Add a sparkling limonata or a chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio, and you’re halfway to Positano.

We style our tables with shared platters, mismatched ceramics, and rustic wooden boards that encourage casual grazing and relaxed conversation.

🌊 Coastal Textures & Blue Hues

To echo the coast, we incorporate tactile elements like breezy striped table runners, woven baskets, and whitewashed ceramics. A mix of soft and structured textures—like linen throws and rattan chargers—brings both comfort and coastal flair.

Blue glassware, gauzy drapes, and floral arrangements in white and pale yellow round out the look, giving it that sun-faded seaside charm.

🏖️ From South Florida with Love

We may be setting up in Tequesta, Jupiter, or Juno Beach, but we bring the Amalfi spirit with us wherever we go. The soft breeze, the flicker of candlelight as the sun dips low, the sound of waves in the background—every detail is curated to help you slow down and savor.

Whether it's a romantic date night or a festive gathering with friends, our Coastal Italian picnic is designed to transport you to another world—no passport required. Bring the zest and romance of the Amalfi Coast to your local picnic with Mediterranean-inspired design. This post highlights how to incorporate iconic Italian elements like lemon motifs, whitewashed ceramics, textured table runners, and breezy striped fabrics. We’ll guide you through curating a menu of caprese skewers, sparkling limonata, and fresh focaccia, and show how simple details—like blue glassware and linen napkins—can transport your guests straight to the Italian Riviera. It’s the perfect blend of bold color and coastal charm.
