Good health, good luck, and happiness....


St. Patrick's Day- A day to recognize the most commonly known patron Saint of Ireland. One theory is that March 17th is the day that Saint Patrick died. In addition to honoring Saint Patrick, the day also is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide. Being a religious holiday as well, many people attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.


The plus side is that there are so many different shades of green to pick from a shamrock green to a dark, hunter green, so finding a shade that looks great on everyone in your bridal party shouldn't be a problem. You may want to mix it up and use a bunch of different shades of green that compliment each other. If you want to have more of a soft and romantic feel, stick with light shades of green. Bright greens such as Kelly Green may look cheesy if used too much throughout your theme. A great accent color to go with green is gold. Try to stay with white or ivory invitations and add little touches of green or have your Bridesmaids in green dresses with a lighter flower bouquet. Incorporate little amounts of green throughout the Groom and Groomsmen; either a green vest or green accents in their boutonniere.  


"For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day."
