Creating A St Patricks Day Wreath Kansas

By Jeffrey Powell


Each year the death of the patron Saint of Ireland is celebrated on March 17th. Saint Patrick's Day, traditionally celebrated only by the Irish, is now part of life around the world whether you have Irish roots or not. Many countries hold parades and there are parties for all to enjoy a pint of stout. Like the winter holiday season people like to hang decorations and for a St Patricks Day wreath Kansas has numerous florist shops selling everything you could 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.

The internet is an excellent place to look for videos and blogs giving tips on making floral wreaths. There are also many pictures to give you inspiration. You can include items for luck such as horseshoes. Ribbons and messages can also be added to fresh flowers to make a stunning decoration.

When picking the things to include in your project consider whether you wish to use it again next year. Plastic or fabric flowers will last for years whereas fresh blooms and leaves will soon wilt. If you do opt for fresh flowers take into account the weather. Some plants will wilt easily in sunshine while others despise frost. Secure any items firmly to the frame if your home is exposed to high winds.

If your local florist or craft shop does not have the materials you need then once again the internet can help. As well as providing inspiration you can shop online for your materials. Make sure the shipping date is in plenty of time for you to complete your project. Be careful with sizes as something might look like it will fit on your door perfectly but actually is 6ft wide.

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.
