Making 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.

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 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.

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.
