If you have an Irish heritage or you just think St.
Patrick's Day would be a lucky day to have your wedding, you are probably at a loss
on how to plan a classy, elegant Irish celebration that is fitting to your
wedding day dreams. Well, here are some great ideas to help you make your St.
Patty's Day wedding as lucky as a pot of gold.
When you are picking colors for your wedding, green may not
be on the top of your list. But, when you are planning a St. Patrick's Day
wedding, green is the best color to use for this theme. The plus side is that
there are so many different shades of green to pick from a shamrock green to a
dark, hunter green, so finding a shade that looks great on everyone in your
bridal party shouldn't be a problem. You may even want to mix it up and use a
bunch of different shades of green that complement each other.
When you are choosing a design for your wedding invitations,
you may want to go with a Celtic knot or cross as the focal point of the
design. You could also incorporate the Celtic knot or cross into the rest of
your ceremony maybe in a wax seal for your programs or as the decoration for
your wedding cake. You may be able to find some napkin holders that have a
symbol of the knot or cross on them. However, you choose to use it, it is
definitely one of those extra little details that will pull everything
together.
When selecting the music for your ceremony, some traditional
Irish music would be a perfect touch to your special day. Not only is Irish
music romantic and beautiful, but also its instrumental ballads will add just
the right touch to take your St. Patrick's Day wedding from clash to class.
When choosing the foods for your reception, don't feel like
you have to go all out with the green food coloring. Why not take a different
approach and serve traditional Irish dishes such as Irish Stew, Bacon and Cabbage, Dublin Coddle, Irish Bread Pudding, and Soda Bread. Of course, no Irish wedding
celebration would be complete without some stout Irish Beer or green ale!
A great idea for wedding favors would be to purchase some
four-leaf clovers and give them to your guests. Another
interesting twist on the "green" would be to give them small potted plants with your names and wedding date on the side or seed packets (like this fun DIY project). This is something they can
take home and plant and it symbolizes your growing love for each other.
When you are decorating you could use greenery, white
Christmas lights, and candles. This is sure to set the right mood for your
ceremony and reception. Don't be afraid to use colors like white and yellow to
help contrast the green, and to incorporate those colors into your floral
arrangements. Maybe you and your groom could stand in front of a huge Celtic
cross wrapped in greenery and Christmas lights while you say your vows?
Whatever you choose, don't be afraid to get creative and do some research to
pull lots of ideas from traditional Irish weddings.
May God be with you and bless you.
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortunes
and rich
in blessings.
May you know nothing but
happiness from this day forward.
