Today Sweden celebrate the traditional holiday of Midsummer Eve. It's a holiday that brings families and friends together with dance, food and joy. It's not uncommon to hear of midsummer weddings, so here is an inspiration board for the day. According to an old Swedish legend, Midsummer's Eve is a night of love. Unmarried girls should, before going to bed on the night of Midsummer's Eve, pick seven kinds of flowers and jump over seven roundpole fences. They should then place the flowers underneath their pillows and go to sleep. During the night they will dream about the men they will marry.
As it will be hard to find seven kinds of wild flowers and nearly impossible to find seven round pole fences in today's London, I think I'll skip this tradition this year. Besides I already know the man I'm going to marry.
