Tomorrow is one of my favourite celebrations of the year - midsummer. Here's my round-up of beautiful inspiration for celebrating midsummer the Swedish way.
And for a little know how:
How to make a ethereal midsummer crown, and a beautifully simple floral wreath for your home.
And the feast. Oh the feast! This post by Honestly YUM is the perfect inspiration to create your own midsummer banquet. A midsummer berry cake. Or why not keep it simple - I love the idea of threading wildstrawberries onto straw (as seen above).
Your midsummer cocktail: Aquavit, sherry and elderflower liqueur. And decorating ice cubes.
Single? Swedish folklore says that if you pick seven different sorts of flowers and put them under your pillow on midsummer night, you'll dream of your future love!
'Glad midsommar!' May the flowers in your hair be fresh, and your maypole dancing stay strong!
See you Tuesday!
*for those of you in the southern hemisphere, I guess it's happy winter solstice! - any excuse to celebrate, right....? Skål!
