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.

Florists and other outlets can sell you ready to hang wreaths which will look beautiful. They are often loaded with lovely spring flowers and green foliage. Another option is to buy a frame and a selection of green flowers and foliage and design your own. This way you can pick the blooms you love most and get an original design for your home.

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.

Before you start buying things to build a wreath think about things like where it will hang, whether it is just for this year or whether you would like to make one which will last. Cold and frost can damage delicate blooms, while fierce sun will wilt real flowers in just a few minutes. Windy conditions will mean you will need to make sure everything can be fastened really securely.

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.

Home-made or store bought, your wreath is bound to look fantastic. It will get you into the spirit of Paddy's Day. You might not get all the luck of the Irish, even if you find a shamrock, but you can have a great day.
