St. Patricks day is celebrated on 17th March. It celebrates the rich heritage and culture of Irish people and signifies the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. In the early seventeenth century, it was made official Christian feast day. The celebration includes public parades, festival celebrations along with wearing green attires on the day. In Ireland it is a noted public holiday.
As part of the celebrations, people enjoy the day through feasts that includes dinner. This involves dining with rich foods and alcohol. St. Patricks day decorations include decorating the dinner table as well apart from decorations at home and offices.
Following things can provide an insight into the table decorations for the day.
Since green is associated, table cloths which are green in color can be used. Apart from green, white tablecloths can also be used. Also a table runner can be employed. These are minimum decorations for your table and lay the foundation for other items on it. One can lay the table cloth on a base cloth and even use gold along with green and white to get a contrast. A table runner can be used either on top of the table cloth or can be used without it. If you are using crockery that has vibrant colors or table mats that are printed with floral then you may use a white table cloth. Also using a white table cloth provides you with the flexibility to use other colors variedly without making you bother about the contrasts. Green color used is usually Shamrock green which is associated with St. Patricks day.
Apart from above other things needed are table napkins. They can be made to match with the base cloth or can have a contrasting color to it. The placement of the napkin will be either on the table, or on the glassware or on the plating.
The next thing is to buy a centerpiece for your table. The decorative item can include Irish colors in floral patterns. Merely a bouquet can be used too that combines colors like green, white and gold.
Lastly confetti like sparkles can be used on the dinner tables. They can be used to accentuate the centerpiece on the table or can be added to the base of the table. The color of confetti can be matched with the centerpiece. If green centerpiece is used then green confetti is to be used and if gold is the color of your centerpiece then gold confetti should be used. It can also be thrown around the table runners or even between them. Contrasting confetti usually looks best.
Such decorations can be purchased both online as well offline. Apart from the above listed ones, there are other decorations also available like Valentines Day decorations which can be purchased avidly.
