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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
