Plan an unforgettable engagement on Midsummer Eve – here's how

Now is the time to start planning your midsummer engagement.

There's still some time left until Midsummer, but we all know how quickly the weeks fly by. Soon the brightest night will be here, filled with flower garlands, dancing and magic. Have you thought about proposing on Midsummer Eve? Then it's high time to start planning to make the moment as memorable as possible.

Midsummer is one of the most romantic times of the year. It is a holiday marked by tradition, love and hope for the future. Choosing to get engaged on this day makes the proposal even more meaningful and symbolic – a new beginning in the bright summer light.

In this guide, we share our best tips for planning an unforgettable Midsummer engagement – ​​from the perfect location to choosing an engagement ring.

1. Choose the perfect location for the proposal

When it comes to proposing on Midsummer, choosing a location is one of the most important factors. Sweden offers stunning nature during this time of year, giving you a variety of romantic options to choose from.

Here are some ideas for magical places to propose:

• By a lake at sunset – A mirror-like lake, a warm summer evening and the two of you – an unbeatable combination. Lay out a picnic blanket, light some lanterns and let the moment be magical.
• In the middle of the Midsummer celebration – If you love traditions, why not propose in the middle of the dance around the Midsummer pole? Surrounded by joy, laughter and those you love, the proposal becomes part of the big celebration.
• On a pier with candles lit – A private moment on a pier with candles and a glass of bubbly can be an incredibly romantic surprise.
• By a blooming summer meadow – Is there anything more Midsummer romantic than a meadow filled with daisies, buttercups and cornflowers? Hide the ring in a flower wreath or pick a bouquet of seven types of flowers and tie the ring to the stems.
• Choose a place that means something to you – perhaps where you first met, your favorite spot in the countryside, or somewhere you feel most at home.

2. The engagement ring – a symbol of your love

The engagement ring is one of the most important parts of the proposal. It is the symbol of your love and the promise you make to each other for a future together. Therefore, choosing the right ring is a big and important part of the planning.

What should you consider when choosing an engagement ring?

• Style and design – Does your partner like classic, timeless rings or something more unique and modern? Schalins has a wide range of both traditional and trendy rings.
• Material and durability – Gold, platinum or white gold? Which material is best for your loved one? For the midsummer holiday, it might be a good idea to choose a ring that can withstand both dew and dancing in the meadow.
• Diamonds or other stones – A classic solitaire with a sparkling diamond, or a beautiful ring with a colored stone that reflects your partner's personality?
• Size and fit – It can be tricky to know which size to choose. One tip is to secretly borrow one of your partner's rings and compare with a ring size guide. Here you will find our Size Guide.

3. How to make the proposal extra magical

It's not just the location and the ring that create the perfect proposal – the moment itself is just as important.

• Write some personal words – Whether you want to give a little speech or just say something from the heart, expressing your love in words is always appreciated.
• Make it unexpected – A proposal is often about surprise. Maybe you could hide the ring in a midsummer wreath, or put it in a treasure map that leads to the location?
• Include Midsummer traditions – How about tying the ring to a bouquet of seven kinds of flowers? Or proposing right at midnight, when Midsummer Night is at its brightest?
• Capture the moment – ​​Want to preserve the memory? Ask a friend to take a picture of the moment or hire a photographer on the sly.

4. Celebrate love – your way

After your loved one says "I do," it's time to celebrate! Depending on how you want it, you can do it in different ways:

• A toast with loved ones – If you proposed during the Midsummer celebration, you can immediately share your happiness with family and friends.
• A private moment under the stars – Want a more intimate celebration? Take an evening stroll hand in hand, share a bottle of champagne by the water, and make the evening your own.
• Dance all night long – Midsummer is all about joy and celebration. Dance, laugh and enjoy your magical evening.

Getting engaged on Midsummer Eve is a way to combine love, tradition and magic in one moment.
