If you're looking for ideas to help you celebrate St. Patrick's Day with your family, I have ideas for a table setting, centerpiece and meal ideas.
St. Patrick's Day isn't a holiday that has a lot of fan fare. But it has been a fun holiday that our family has celebrated for years.
If you think your kids don't care about fun holiday decorations, you may be right- they might not. But they also might really enjoy it. My college girl kinda got weepy today telling me how much she missed my "cute table decorations," her words.
St. Patrick's Day Table Decorations
For our St. Patrick's table, I decided to be a little more subtle this year. The theme I went with is green, black and white.
I started with a roll of kraft wrapping paper. I was going to write messages - like Lucky and draw shamrock images on the paper, but then I liked the way it looked without it. But it would also be super cute personalized like that. Maybe the next time I do a table setting, I'll write messages on the paper roll.
Anyway - on top of the paper, I placed my Farmhouse Table Centerpiece wooden riser. I dry brushed some green paint on the riser to give it some color.
On top of the riser, I placed a variety of bottles from my stash. I loved what
Jennifer Rizzo did by stamping numbers onto bottles, so I did the same. I brushed black paint onto rubber stamps and then stamped the numbers. I think the numbers add a little something, something to the bottle collection.
Inside the bottles, I placed greenery clippings from the bushes in my yard. I also whipped up a few St.Patrick's Day flags from supplies I had on hand.
The flags turned out so fun and added some holiday flair to the table! You know I'm all about the flair! I'll do a tutorial for holiday flags soon.
The place settings started with black and white striped placemats that I got from IKEA, several years ago.
On top of the placemat, I used our every day white dishes. White dishes make the perfect base for every place setting. So if you find a good set at the thrift store, be sure to pick them up.
I layered green paper plates on top of the white plate. I fancied up the silverware by placing green cutlery inside of a white beverage napkin, tied with a piece of black and white ribbon and clover ribbon.
Beside each place setting, I placed leprechaun cauldrons filled with the best jelly beans ever!
I also added a bunch of St. Patrick's Day decor to the shelves in our dining room.
I used a bunch of vintage items like dishes, a cake pan, a wooden cutting board, a wooden rolling pin, a jar of glittery clovers and
Lucky heart art.
