Elevating St. Patrick’s Day Events with Fresh Blooms
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, event planners and hosts are preparing to celebrate this festive and spirited holiday. While traditional decorations often lean heavily on paper and plastic and symbols like shamrocks and leprechauns, incorporating fresh blooms can elevate your St. Patrick’s Day event. At Cascade Floral Wholesale in Everett, Washington, we understand the power of flowers and are happily here to guide you in your floral decorating!
The Best Flowers for St. Patrick’s Day Arrangements
Flowers have the unique ability to transform spaces, create ambiance, and make the event feel special. For St. Patrick’s Day, they add sophistication and natural beauty to music and party venues, blending traditional elements with a fresh, modern twist. So which blooms will bring in that festive Irish spirit?
Green Carnations
Let’s start with green carnations, a symbol of luck and admiration. These blooms add color and whimsy to any St. Patrick’s Day flower arrangement. Green (or green and white) carnations can be incorporated into centerpieces, bouquets, and floral arrangements to enhance the festive atmosphere instantly. You can even fashion blossoms into garlands and hang them in high spaces to draw the eye upward.
Green Hydrangeas
Another great option for St. Patrick’s Day décor is green hydrangeas. These lush blooms are elegant and sophisticated, making them perfect for more formal events. Use them as focal points in floral designs or mix them with other green and white flowers for a lush and textured look. Their vibrant color captures the essence of the holiday and their large blossoms add serious volume in floral arrangements.
Green Spider Mums
For a unique and eye-catching addition to your St. Patrick’s Day décor, incorporate green spider mums. These blooms add a playful yet posh touch to any arrangement with their intricate, spider-like petals and bright green hue. Use them in bouquets, centerpieces, or standalone arrangements to add freshness to traditional St. Patrick’s Day décor.
Add Drama With Accent Blooms
To complement your green carnations, hydrangeas, and spider mums, add accent blooms such as bells of Ireland — literally perfect for the occasion! You can also use green poms and green alstroemeria. Bells of Ireland add height and drama to arrangements with their tall, vertical stems and spikes. Green poms add whimsy with their round, pom-pom-like blooms, while green alstroemeria adds a delicate and airy feel, thanks to its dainty petals.
Round Out Arrangements With Greenery
In addition to flowers, don’t forget to incorporate greenery into your St. Patrick’s Day décor. Eucalyptus, ruscus, and ferns are all excellent choices for adding texture, depth, and visual interest. Eucalyptus adds a fresh and aromatic scent, while ruscus adds elegance with its lush foliage. Ferns, with their feathery fronds, bring a verdant energy to arrangements.
