Friends and family in Sweden will be staying up to celebrate midsummer's eve today (here's a little pic of my crew on the same day last year). Sadly I'm thousands of miles away (on a photo shoot in Upstate New York), but that won't stop me from creating a small midsummer celebration of my own - and raising a glass or two! I've put together a quick guide to creating your own midsummer's eve below...wild flowers at the ready!
Why not throw a mini party this evening to celebrate the longest day of the year (in some parts of the world!).
Pick wildflowers and create your own midsummer crown (and a wreath for your door).
Serve a selection of pickled herrings in pretty jars and serve with new potatoes, boiled eggs and fresh dill. Enjoy with cool beer and ice cold schnapps (you'll need to warm up your singing voice!).
Bake a delicious cake decorated with hundreds of sweet strawberries.
Set up thousands of pretty light bulbs over the outdoor table.
Invite as many friends as you like - and if you don't have enough chairs, how about rugs instead?!I also love all these outdoor party ideas.
And dance the night away under the midnight sun!
Wishing you all a very happy midsummer's eve! Skål!
PS Feel free to add your own midsummer tips in the comment section below...
PPS I'll be back in action here on Tuesday since I have a bit of a tight schedule until then. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
