Tomorrow it's Midsummer eve here in Sweden, a lively and joyous celebration that marks the summer solstice. It's one of the most important holidays in Sweden, right up there with Christmas. Midsummer eve is like a giant garden party with everyone dressed in their summer best.
Flowers are a central part of the Swedish Midsummer celebration, adding color, fragrance, and a touch of magic to the festivities. Women and children often wear flower crowns, which they, traditionally, should make themselves. These crowns are typically made from seven different kinds of flowers, usually picked from meadows and gardens. Traditionally the flowers should be in colors of red, white and blue and the idea is to use a variety of wild blooms like daisies, poppies, cornflowers and various greenery.
Decorate your table
Flowers are also used to decorate the tables where the festive meals are served, making the Midsummer celebration a feast for both the eyes and the soul. Therefore we want to show you guys an easy way to decorate your midsummertable. Since midsummer is all about tradition we decided to go all in and use our vintage porcelain. The white and blue works so well with the traditional colors and ties everything together.
We’re using our versatile kenzans in different sizes together with traditional midsummer flowers. The flowerfrogs are an easy way to create a beautiful table setting! You get a lot of impact even with few stems, they’re just great!
We’ve used our smallest kenzans, the 34mm ones, in the coffeecups and the larger, 70mm one, in the glass bowl. How cute is that?
Overall, Midsummer in Sweden is a vibrant mix of tradition, nature, and community spirit, all celebrated with the help of beautiful flowers and lots of good food and company.
According to tradition, if you pick seven different flowers and put them under your pillow on Midsummer's Eve, you'll dream of your future spouse. Don't miss that opportunity!
The Hanataba team wish you all a happy midsummer! :)
Sprayat en gammal kandelaber chokladbrun och gjorde det till en vas .. så fint… det blir
nog mest att ha konstgjorda blommor i eftersom rören är smala och växterna kräver mycket vatten… men nu hade jag lite väl stora blommor i… men fick många komplimanger.
Only just received this so the photos are my rushed first efforts of flowers that I have grown from seed this year for the first time. I love this piece of equipment. I realise that it’s not the cheapest thing, but the results are beautiful and I imagine that it will last for a long time. Extremely satisfied, thanks!
Har inte hittat några blommor ännu...det är ju inte så mkt av den varan nu!
Ska testa i fler vaser och ljusstakar också.
Den ena ( i lägsta) envisas med att glida snett och får hela tiden justeras.
Tycker det är ett mysigt sätt att njuta av div. växter!
I struggled for years to make my flower arrangements look professional. That is, until I bought this beautiful vase and frog set. As you can see, they really made my flowers sing. I get so many compliments!
For years I struggled to make my bouquets look professional. That is, until I bought this frog and vase set. As you can see, my bouquets look beautiful now. I get so many compliments! Thank you Hanataba for upping my flower game.
I love flowers and for years have struggled with making professional-looking bouquets. It really is an art! That is, until I bought one of the Hanataba bouquet and arrangement kits. As you can see, their beautiful vase and circular frog really made my dahlias sing. I get so many compliments! I'll be buying a second one for sure. Thank you Hanataba for upping my bouquet game.
Received as part of a bundle for my birthday. Not had time to try the bouquet twisters yet but loved setting up the flowers on this and they held and lasted a long time. Excited to play around some more.
Glasyren har runnit väldigt osnyggt, klump i botten, ränder och ojämn i färgen. Inget speciellt med skålen heller. Har frukostskålar från IKEA som står bättre.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Emma. We’re very sorry that the bowl you received didn’t meet the standard we expect from our products.
As I wrote to you in our email conversation, we’ve sent a new bowl to you, and of course, you don’t need to return the one you already have.
We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope the replacement will be much more in line with what you expected from us.
Super schön! Die Schale ist genauso, wie ich sie mir vorgestellt habe ☺️ Ich habe absolut nichts auszusetzen und kann die Schale zu 100% weiterempfehlen.
