Create Your Own St Patricks Day Wreath Kansas

By Jeffrey Powell


Celebrated around the globe by Irish and non-Irish alike, the 17th of March recognizes the patron Saint of Ireland. March 17th was the day the Saint died and traditionally people hold parades, parties and raise a glass of Irish stout to the man credited with driving the snakes from Ireland. The holiday has become associated with luck and wreaths decorated with lucky symbols are hung. If you wish to buy or make your own St Patricks day wreath Kansas has lots of outlets and florists selling anything you might need.

Green is the color of choice of this holiday which is often called Paddy's Day. Green drinks, green clothing and of course green flowers are all part of the fun. It is becoming popular to replace the holiday seasons wreaths with a lovely green for the day. Adding color and festive fun, your friends and neighbors will know that you are also celebrating.

The plant most associated with the Irish is the Shamrock or clover. The four leafed shape is considered lucky and finding a four leafed clover exceptionally lucky. It is unlikely that real shamrocks will be readily available but there are many substitutes.

Stores selling floral supplies or your local florist will have a selection of wreaths to buy and hang at home. They normally incorporate spring blooms and superb green foliage for the most dramatic effect. Instead of buying ready to hang, you might want to try making your own. The store should also be able to sell you the materials you need for you to take home and create your own fabulous design.

There are many blogs and videos on the internet explaining exactly how to create fantastic wreaths. Images are also available to give you inspiration if you are stuck for ideas. You might want to incorporate ribbons, bows or symbols of good luck like horseshoes.

When you choose the materials for your project there are a few things to consider. If you would like to use it again next year then pick fabric or plastics. For single use, fresh flowers and plants will be fine but consider the weather conditions they have to endure. If the decoration is going into a windy area the materials will need to be easily secured.

You might not have a helpful local florist that can supply you with the things you need. Internet retailers will have everything you can imagine and more. Take care to look at the shipping dates so that your purchase arrives in plenty of time. Use a measure to check what size frame you require and make sure you order the correct one.

Ready-made or home-made, a St Patrick's Day wreath brightens up any home. It may even bring you luck if you load it with enough shamrocks and lucky symbols. Luck or no luck, Paddy's Day is a time for fun, parties and parades. Get out the green clothes and enjoy a stout or a bright green cocktail.
