Favor Ideas and Table Decorations for a
St. Patrick's Day Wedding
With lots of laughter, love, luck and blessings,
the longstanding tradition of St. Patrick's
Day presents many unique and fun opportunities
to highlight or appreciate the Irish culture.
When planning this special day, the key
is to incorporate meaningful and decorative
symbols by utilizing vibrant shades of green
and gold. Take advantage of the many beautiful
imagery associated with this day from pots
of gold to shamrocks, while translating
them into whimsical elements that lend a
hand to creating a warm and jovial wedding
reception.
Create Elegant Table Place Frames Decorated
with Miniature Shamrocks
The color gold goes hand in hand with representing
the meaning of luck and prosperity especially
in weddings. To convey an element of luck,
use tiny green shamrocks together with the
placecards on gold
place card frames. Alternatively, you
can also express this notion by tying emerald
green colored ribbons in satin or organza.
Arrange these frames elegantly at a receiving
table to welcome guests at a hotel reception
or outdoor dinner party. As your guests arrive,
bridesmaids can direct them to the frames
as they locate their seats at the reception.
You can also put up a table seating chart
that is placed beside your receiving table
- position the frames on this table with a
sign that directs guests to their appropriate
table. In this manner, your bridesmaids can
be attending to other duties, or simply enjoying
themselves at the party.
Package Wedding Candy in Pretty Bags with
Green Trimmings
While presenting candy such as jordan almonds
in cello bags or tins are common packaging
for favors, a St. Patrick's Day wedding
celebration is a fun time to present delicious
chocolate coins or sugar-topped shamrock
shaped cookies - the perfect ideas for edible
wedding favors. For classic treats, you
may also use after chocolate shamrocks or
mini leprechauns wrapped in rich emerald
green foil. Give green colored jelly beans,
sugar crystal candies, or green and white
candied chocolates as other fun candy ideas.
As a personalized touch, place a gold
favor tag printed with the phrase "Celebrating
the luck of the Irish as we tie the knot."
Moreover, for a wedding that combines an
Asian and Irish flair, a great favor idea
is to package delicious fortune-cookies
in embroidered
favor bags with an ivy motif. You can
also present scrumptious shamrock-shaped
butter cookies sprinkled with green sugar
crystals and wrapped in shimmering olive
green favor
wraps.
Give Bridesmaids a Special Gift that
Celebrates the Occasion
A beautiful composed poem or a simple
photograph reminiscent of a special time
is a wonderful gift to thank bridesmaids.
Present an inspirational poem catered
towards the unique personality of each
bridesmaid or use a special photo of each
bridesmaid together with the bride. Give
these wedding
picture frames in pretty wrapping
paper tied with a rich grosgrain or satin
ribbon. Alternatively, you can use glossy
white gift boxes tied with green ribbons
and finished with gold gift tags.
