Educator • Creative • Founder • Experience Designer

Dawnique Steel

I’m Dawnique Steel, founder of Ruby Blue Luxe Picnics. As a lifelong educator, creative, and experience designer, I’ve always believed that the most meaningful moments happen when people slow down, connect, and celebrate life’s special occasions.

After more than 30 years in education, I combined my passion for creativity, organization, and serving others to create Ruby Blue Luxe Picnics—a business dedicated to transforming ordinary gatherings into extraordinary experiences. Every picnic is thoughtfully designed with elegance, personal touches, and attention to detail so our clients can simply relax and enjoy the moment.

Whether I’m creating an intimate date night, a family celebration, a corporate event, or our signature Princess Picnic Adventure, my goal is always the same: to cultivate unique, memorable experiences that bring people together and create lasting memories.

For me, luxury isn’t just about beautiful décor—it’s about making every guest feel celebrated, valued, and cared for.
