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! :)
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.
This is a beautiful tool. It is sturdy and well-made. Heavy and a delight to use. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to do large airy arrangements.
Roligt att man kan göra andra sorts arrangemang med blommorna. Passar perfekt för dahlior som inte går att ha i bukett då stjälkarna är för korta ibland. Övar fortfarande med hanataban men fakirerna är toppen!
I love my new flower ring and vase. I am looking forward to experimenting with more flowers. It will be a joy to keep filling it with seasonal flowers.
I wish the acrylic ring was a larger size.
Zonder enige ervaring met bloemen kon ik een mooi bloemstuk uit mijn eigen tuin voor op tafel samenstellen. Het is wel even uitvinden hoe ik de stelen moet afknippen zodat het boeket mooi rechtop blijft staan. Superleuk om op deze manier met bloemen bezig te kunnen zijn!
First one arrived with paint defect after a few days I got a response and a replacement was sent out very swift delivery but then that once arrived smashed to pieces currently still waiting on a email response to the second arriving smashed
Shame as the item is nice am just having a lot of issues
