I’ve been obsessed with Irish culture for a long time now and as a result I always swoon when I see pictures of the rolling green hills and the picturesque landscape of the Irish countryside. Therefore, I thought it would be fitting to feature a green Irish-inspired theme just in time for St. Patrick’s day.

To have the perfect Irish wedding, host your ceremony in a lovely Catholic church complete with stained glass and towering ceilings. Afterward, host your reception in one of the many castles or if the weather holds up, amongst some gorgeous ruins overlooking the green hills.

For the decor, stick to a color scheme of emerald green with touches of orange in homage to the Irish flag. Tie colorful green ribbons to some glass jars to make lovely, simple lanterns. If you can find a location with green stained glass, it would be even better, but if not, make do with plenty of leafy greenery to decorate and add in some orange blossoms to accent the location.

Old books full of Irish lore could make some great centerpieces– not to mention serve a dual purpose as ice breakers for guests. Set out some favor bags filled with orange and white petals for tossing for your guests and give your flower girl and ring bearer some green cushions to hold. For your wedding rings, get a traditional claddagh ring and participate in the traditional hand fasting ceremony. You can also give some homemade Irish cream as wedding favors and give your groomsmen some Irish pub signs as groomsmen gifts. You can give your bridesmaids some lovely green necklaces that they’ll be sure to cherish.

How better to honor Ireland than with some potato soup, fish and chips, and plenty of Irish beverages. Set out a green themed candy buffet as well as cupcakes decorated with green shamrocks. For your cake, be sure to decorate it with plenty of greenery and some of your orange blossoms.

For the attire, give your groom and groomsmen some shamrock cufflinks for luck, and wear some emerald jewelry. The men can wear newsboy caps and plaid ties and the women can wear emerald green dresses. For another green accent, place a sash around your waist and sneak in some green wedding shoes.

When I saw these gorgeous pictures of the couple in the field of daisies, I got so anxious for spring. Wouldn’t it be lovely to get married under a lovely arch full of wildflowers?

For your decor, you can use the traditional white daisies, or incorporate some colorful gerbera daisies into your array. You can put them in a giant vase, or in their own little glass jars. They also make great altar decorations and mixed in with wildgrass.

You could place them in a planter and set your escort cards on top. You can also exit the reception under a daisy arch and hand out some wedding sprinkles as favors.

Ask your baker to create some lovely little daisy accents on your cake or curcakes. The flowers can also be set aside your appetizers and drinks.

Go a bit boho chic with a daisy headband and wear some daisy patterned shoes and dress. You can also create lovely little flower garlands for your flower girls and finally, add a colorful stem to your groom’s tux.
