Celebrate Midsummer with flowers – tips for a blooming Midsummer table and a beautiful Midsummer wreath

Midsummer is just around the corner - and what would this bright and beloved holiday be without the scent of summer flowers? Whether you're celebrating in the archipelago, in the countryside or in the city, flowers for Midsummer are a must to create that magical feeling. As a florist in Södermalm, we know how much a beautiful flower arrangement can do - both on the midsummer table and in your hair.

Here are our top tips on how to create midsummer magic with flowers!

 

Flowers for the Midsummer table setting - how to create a summery Midsummer table

Imagine a table where meadow flowers meet greenery and fragrant herbs. Where guests smile at bouquets dancing in the wind. That's how you do it:

1. low, airy and playful

Midsummer table settings should feel alive - not contrived. Use small vases, glass bottles or jars of different heights. Preferably quirky and charming! Keep the flowers low so that the conversation can flow freely across the table.

2. Choose your midsummer style

Want a more stylish look? Go for a color scheme - blue, white and green, for example. For a wild and romantic feel, mix meadow flowers such as daisies, cornflowers, clover and yarrow. It's like a midsummer meadow in miniature.

3. don't forget the green

Greenery adds life and volume. Use dill, mint, bilberry, fern or wild twigs - they smell fantastic and frame the flowers beautifully.

 

How to tie a midsummer wreath that lasts all day (and night!)

A midsummer wreath of fresh flowers is as much tradition as dancing around the pole. Here are our top florist tricks:

1. start with a solid frame

Use wire or a soft branch, such as birch, and shape to the circumference of the head.

2. prepare small bouquets

Tie small mini bundles of flowers and greenery with floral wire. Then attach them one at a time around the frame, overlapping.

3. Create balance in the wreath

Alternate large and small flowers for a natural look. Pause occasionally and try the wreath in the mirror - it's easy to build crooked when you get into flow!

4. Keep it fresh for longer

Spray the wreath with water and put it in a plastic bag in the fridge. Traveling far? Put it in a lunch box with moistened paper towels.
