Are you lucky enough to be of Irish heritage? Do you love Irish culture – Celtic designs, all 40 shades of green, Celtic music and fun-loving style?
Then an Irish wedding just might be the celebration for you! Here are my ideas for filling your day with Celtic style, luck, love and all things fresh and green.
Of course, you’ll want to kick off your Irish wedding with an invitation in one of those gorgeous shades of green. And Jean M has so many green wedding invitations to choose from! First, set the tone for your upcoming Celtic wedding with a collage of your photos amid a green background on my Delicate Dots Photo Save the Date in Hunter Green.
Then go with a my Band of Damask Wedding Invitation, which has interweaving green damask scrolls reminiscent of traditional Celtic knot artwork. My Delicate Lattice Note Card in green helps you express your thanks well while hinting at Celtic designs with its interlocking lattice pattern. Dress up your wedding invitations and more with green rhinestones and green ribbon for the finishing Irish touch!
There are other great ways to bring Celtic touches into your Irish wedding…
• Dress your bridesmaids in different shades of green
• Include shamrocks and bells of Ireland in your bouquets and floral arrangements
• Exchange traditional Irish claddagh wedding rings to symbolize your love, loyalty and friendship
• Hire musicians to play Celtic music on traditional Irish instruments – harp, whistles, drums and Irish pipes.
• Include traditional Irish dances and dancers to demonstrate them in your wedding dance.
• Research traditional Irish toasts to add a fun touch to your reception.
• And add green into your décor wherever you can! Green Custom Balloons can be printed with a shamrock design for a fun look, and Grass Lidded Favor Boxes can be filled with gold chocolate coins to mimic the pot at the end of the rainbow.
Enjoy the luck – and the style – of the Irish!
