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.

Often known as Paddy's Day, the 17th of March has been adopted by many around the world as a day to dress in green, drink green drinks and have fun. As with the winter holiday season a wreath hung on the door is becoming part of the traditions. These can add a lovely splash of color and let your neighbors know you are celebrating.

The lucky four-leaf clover or shamrock is the plant most associated with this day and the Irish. Finding one of these growing wild is supposed to bring you lots of luck and wealth. They are however extremely rare to find so it might be better to find another option to the real thing.

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.

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.
