St. Patrick’s Day Arrangements: Ideas for Gifts

St. Patrick’s Day might technically still fall during winter, but it’s just several days from spring, and the green themes of the holiday are evocative of spring being just around the corner. Therefore, for your St. Patrick’s Day arrangements in 77084, consider creating a lush vase of green florals and fresh blooms that are both befitting of the holiday and seasonal and hopeful for the arrival of spring.

Here are a few ideas for you to consider as you plan out your St. Patrick’s Day arrangements!

Leprechaun gardens

If you’ve heard of fairy or gnome gardens, which have become increasingly popular thanks to their prevalence on Pinterest, then you’ll love this St. Patrick’s Day-themed twist on the idea! Create a leprechaun’s garden, focusing on greenery and pots of gold.

One fun way of doing this is taking a couple small, wooden planters, lining them with plastic wrap and filling the bottom of each planter with river rocks for drainage before then adding lush green plants and soil. When you’ve finished putting in plants, you can cover with moss and lightly water. It’s the accessories that really turn it into a leprechaun garden, including small wooden houses and pots of gold, featuring little gold ornaments or marbles. You might even find a little leprechaun figurine to include!

Romantic arrangements

St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t have the same romantic themes that Valentine’s Day does, but that doesn’t mean there are no options for romance! You can combine some hydrangeas with ornamental kale, white wax flowers, green-tinted Mondial roses, green trick dianthus, Italian ruscus, lemon leaf greenery and silver dollar eucalyptus for a fresh, lush and romantic green arrangement that will take your recipient’s breath away. Just make sure to use some wet floral foam to help hold it all together!

Paper flowers

You can mix in some paper flowers with some real flowers, or create arrangements made entirely with paper flowers to add a fun, whimsical, personal touch to your arrangement. You can find a variety of instructions and DIY guides online to help you make paper tulips, daisies, peonies and more, and you can add in paper shamrocks as well. Use varying shades of green and add in some white here and there, and assemble them by putting floral foam in a vase and putting flowers in foam in the desired arrangement. If you really wish to go all out with the holiday theme, you can hot glue some plastic gold coins on to floral wire to add them in!

Edible arrangements

You can add some edible elements into your arrangements for a budget-friendly, fresh style. In addition to your greeneries, throw in some green apples, limes and green berries. They’ll go great with silver dollar eucalyptus and lemon leaf greenery, as well as Bells of Ireland and ornamental kale.
