A brief history of Midsommar
Midsommar is a day to honor the welcoming of the summer season. A day that brings family and friends together, usually in the countryside, to enjoy food, fellowship, and festivities. Dating back to the 1500's, Midsommar has been a practiced celebration in Sweden, and in the 1900's became the most famous of their traditional celebrations. Welcoming summer with love is not only part of the festive spirit, but a cherished part of the sacred tradition of this holiday. Midsommar is a day for young loves and those seeking young love to wish for a touch of magic. Some ancient traditions even go as far as to say if a young girl places 7 flowers under her pillow the night before, she will dream of her true love.

Midsommar Festiviteis
Some of the famous activities that occur during the celebration of Midsommar include hoisting the maypole and adorning it with flowers and wreathes made earlier in the day. Once the maypole is in place, people can dance around it to festive music, welcoming the summer season. Young girls and women often make floral wreaths for their heads as well by simply tying flowers and leaves together with a wire thread. Throughout the time of festivities, lavish spreads are served, and people are invited to dine together to celebrate the beginning of summer.

Your flower crown for your bedroom is the statement piece which aids the expression of summers fertility and splendour.
