Celebrating Midsummer this year – this style guide has the best midsummer dresses for a traditional celebration!

I am going to be experiencing my first Midsummer this year in Sweden and I am beyond excited for this whimsical celebration that commemorates the longest day of the year and the summer solstice.

I will be celebrating on the Friday the 23rd of June – and midsummer is on June 24th. Since I have never celebrated I only know a bit about the celebration tangentially because one of my best friends lives in Sweden (and I will also be there for her wedding – which is the day before!).

From what I know of midsummer: it’s about drinking boxed wine, wearing white or floral dresses and making flower crowns to wear during the celebration.

Besides, that there is also a lot of delicious food such as cheeses, pickled herring (a traditional Swedish dish!), salads, meats and more!

I am sure there is more to it but I want to wait to experience it myself before adding any more detail.

So far I have been scouring retailers looking for the perfect midsummer dress and I finally found one – make sure to follow me on Instagram to see what I wear in real time!

I found that the brand with an amazing assortment of midsummer dresses is: ASTR the Label. (I linked the dress I am wearing on the left below.)

I have heard that many people in the US (and around the world) like to have their own midsummer celebrations as well: so I thought I would suggest some great options for this celebration!

Try these dresses for a summer solstice celebration this summer.

This gorgeous sun-drenched maxi dress by Free People is just what you need for your summer wardrobe!

It is the perfect length, soft and comfortable material (so easy for travel and sightseeing – I wore this all over Spain!).

The best Midsummer dresses are floral or white and flowy in style.

Clothing brands like Free People, ASTR The Label, Rails, Love, Shack, Fancy and Peixoto are brands that have the perfect midsummer dresses for the traditional celebration!
