Making A St Patricks Day Wreath Kansas

By Jeffrey Powell


March 17th is celebrated by Irish and non-Irish around the world. Recognizing the day the patron Saint of Ireland died, it is a time to celebrate with parties, parades and pints of stout. It is a holiday associated with luck and many like to hang decorations such as a wreath. If you need materials for a St Patricks day wreath Kansas has many florists selling frames and beautiful green flowers.

Green is the color of choice on March 17th. Also known as Paddy's Day, it is fun to dress in green clothes, drink stout or a green cocktail and join in the massive party. Hanging a Paddy's Day wreath on your door is a great way to let everyone know you are joining in the festivities. They are also lovely in their own right.

The shamrock or clover is the plant which is associated with the Irish and luck. A clover with four leaves is especially lucky, but they are rarely found growing wild. Unless you spend hours in a clover patch a substitute for a real shamrock might need to be found.

Florists are one of the best places to purchase a ready-made wreath that you can simply hang at home. Lovely green foliage and a variety of spring blooms will brighten any home. If you prefer to design your own arrangement then you can buy the materials instead. You will need a frame and enough flowers and foliage to cover it. This makes an original design with all the flowers you love most.

If you have never made one before you might want to search online for tips and tutorials to get you started. Searching for images will give you inspiration for designs if you are not naturally creative or just need a little extra something to top off your own design. Items such as horseshoes often feature to bring good luck while ribbons and bows add yet another dimension.

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.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a handy local florist or perhaps they do not stock exactly what you would like. Online stores are likely to have exactly what you want. Check shipping details and order in plenty of time so that everything arrives before the big day. Size is also a concern, what looks like the right size in the picture might be smaller than a dime or bigger than your door.

Whether you choose to hang a ready-made wreath or your own design, it will brighten the house on Paddy's Day. Loaded full of shamrocks your decoration might even bring you the luck of the Irish for the whole year or perhaps just the day. Even if you are not blessed by the Saint, you can still party with friends and neighbors and enjoy a pint of stout, a green cocktail or whatever takes your fancy wherever you are in the world even if you are not Irish.
