This is what we do in Sweden at Midsummer eve....
Celebrating the summer solstice.
It will all happen tomorrow evening. Dance, food, some drinks and lots of laughter.
It is one of the most important holidays of the year in Sweden.
In the past it was believed that water from the springs could bring good health ( they where not that dumb ? ) and herbs picked at midsummer was highly potent.
Denmark, Finland and Norway are costumed to bonfires at this day.

This is the best time to collect wild flowers in Sweden. The nature is bursting with greens. Everything is decorated with birch leaves. It was believed to bring good luck.
I borrowed this beautiful Midsummer wreath from another blogger lindasalltoinget
Traditionally the first "real" strawberries can be enjoyed at this time.
Love this dress from Prada, for the party.
Everything is just perfect at this time...Love, Flowers and Happiness.
