St. Patty's Day and Your Wedding!

Show Your Irish Spirit

St. Patrick's Day is considered the luckiest day to get married in Ireland! Here are some ways you can show your patriotism this year!

Something blue? Believe it or not the traditional wedding dress color in Ireland was blue until the late 15th century. So perhaps go for a pale blue gown instead of white. If this idea seems a little too risqué for you, then change into a short blue dress during the reception. This way you're keeping two traditions alive!
   
Spruce up your flowers with a touch of Irish tradition. English lavender is an ancient symbol of love, loyalty, devotion and luck. Make sure to add it to your bouquet on the big day.
 
Every girl appreciates jewelery. Whether you are in fact Irish or just the type of person who enjoys the symbolism behind a historical custom, this kind of ring may be just the thing for you. The very traditional Claddagh ring is a heart held by two hands with the heart topped by a crown. The hands signifies faith, the crown represents honor, and the heart means love meaning “Let love and friendship reign."
 
Go green... well environmentally speaking at least. Instead of opting for the usual brands of beer, try stocking the bar with organic beer. Not only is it better for your health and the environment, organic brew often tastes better . What is St. Patty's without beer, so you might as well support the planet while drinking it :)

Show your girl power! If you've always wanted to incorporate a braid into your wedding hair style, then don't think twice! In Ireland,           braids represent feminine power and luck: the two perfect tools for your wedding day and married life!
