This Friday is Midsummer’s Eve, the most important day in the Swedish calendar. The festivities begin with the making of floral headdresses, followed by dancing around the maypole, and culminate in a gathering with fun lawn games. I have always cherished the Swedish Midsummer Night – a joyful celebration of light and nature spent with loved ones, accompanied by lots of Aquavit and singing! Emma Johansson’s charming photographs, where glasses wear flower crowns, beautifully capture the spirit of the day.
If you’d like to join in the festivities, here are some past posts for inspiration:
bachelor? Don’t forget to pick seven different wildflowers and place them under your pillow on Midsummer’s Eve. Swedish legend says that you will dream about the person you will marry!
Happy Midsummer!

Note: I’ll be taking a short break during the middle of summer – Monday!
