As someone who is Irish, I love to go all out for my St. Patrick’s Day tablescape! Gold coins, green goblets, a fun table runner- I need it all for my St. Patrick’s Day celebration! My dining room must look like the end of a rainbow. I enjoy going all out for every holiday but this particular one seems to go by pretty quickly. I’ve pulled a few fun items for the middle of the table and decor beyond table settings for the ultimate dinner party I’ll be hosting for my family. Try these affordable items for a themed table this St. Patrick’s Day!
Table Pieces
Firstly, table centerpieces are things that I find to be fun. They can be functional or just there to look pretty, but one thing I know is that I love a gold tablescape. Gold flatware and gold accents are things you might already own, so they are easy to place at your table for a pots of gold feel. The green glassware can be difficult to pull off and at what extra cost? If it’s a multi-use product I want to ensure I’ll get plenty of use out of it. For instance, I found green candles to place into gold candle stick holders for a vintage feel while still looking classy. They can be used over and over again and I think are stunning for spring decor!
Decor
Secondly, stepping away from the table for a moment, I like to have fun decor in the whole space for March 17th! Little green shamrocks and a festive table beyond things like plates makes me feel so excited for the holiday. I found an adorable wreath for the door and hope it brings good luck, because it’s the perfect addition to the holiday and is totally on par for the color scheme while not being a tacky decoration. Something I found that’s new this year (for me) is a do it yourself rainbow balloon arch. I really like the rainbow and gold themes over the 4-leaf clover because they bring more color and metallics to the space. I think it’s a great idea to have decor beyond table decorations for St. Patrick’s Day.
Practicality
Finally, this is a quick day that does come and go. Valentine’s Day decorations come down around the 18th for me just because that’s when I get around to it, so I have less than a month to enjoy my St. Patrick’s Day decor! Which means, it’s go time for decorating! One thing I’ve done a bit differently this year is go for some paper products that are a one time use. For example, this can be plates or cups for place settings.
Luckily, they make so many options that are far from boring these days. And with the gold theme I’m headed for, I can save things I don’t use for other occasions! Moreover, I found an adorable cake stand that can live beyond my St. Patrick’s Day tablescape into the spring. The clovers on it aren’t overly holiday like and they feel very springy to me, so I’m excited to bring it into the new season!
