My Scandinavian Habitation Sunset Beach Gathering!

This gathering was made possible past times Granit  - all words together with thoughts are my own.

Do y'all receive got a favourite beach? One of my all fourth dimension favourites is Ljunghusen on Sweden's south-western tip. Dunes together with powdery white sand stretch out as far as the oculus tin come across together with the Baltic waters are crystal clear together with a cool, blue-grey. Oh together with the beach is almost completely deserted! I've e'er felt it would live the perfect location for a beach gathering - together with what ameliorate than a My Scandinavian Home summertime celebration to boot off the start of the Swedish holidays?!

Sarah Brooks-Wilson together with I nipped to Swedish educate Granit, who sell an assortment of interior pattern together with functional storage inwards timeless neutral colours - as good as a local DIY shop to alternative upwards everything nosotros needed. 

We decided to proceed the await elementary to stand upwards for the surroundings, opting for natural materials such as linen, bamboo, body of body of water grass, woods together with drinking glass together with soft, muted colours. The tabular array was constructed from a wooden palette (the solely heavy item!), which nosotros covered amongst a linen towel.

In my heed no gathering is really consummate without flowers, what practice y'all reckon?! To stand upwards for the wild setting nosotros filled drinking glass vases together with jars amongst elementary blooms such as Baby's Breath together with Queen Anne's Lace together with tied left over sprigs to bottles together with napkins.

The nutrient was kept as elementary - amongst tapas vogue olives, charcuterie, salad, bread, cheese together with the most delicious orangish together with sultana loaf baked past times Sarah (she makes a hateful cake!).

You'd never respect a Swedish domicile without 1 of these cheese slicers! Incidentally, the irregular shaped plate it's resting on is really made from eco newspaper - such a peachy find!



The low-cal was pivot sudden (it's an surface area famous for artists because of this) together with the eve air balmy (we were very lucky inwards other words - peculiarly for Sweden!). Even so, the heaven shifted constantly betwixt dramatic, bruised clouds which threatened to locomote out us running for the machine 1 infinitesimal together with a golden sunset the next!

For the awning / air current interruption nosotros used wooden poles from a local DIY shop (make certain they receive got a spiked destination together with thus they are slow to bury inwards the sand) together with 2 metres of sheer white stuff tied on amongst elastic bands. It honestly took well-nigh 2 minutes to set up!

Here's a quick run-down of all of the other items nosotros used inwards illustration you'd also similar to recreate this for an eve at the beach:
