DreamGreenWedding
Rather than waiting for the first day of spring, January was the time of the year that kept singles the most active in Ireland. Epiphany, January 6, was the busiest time for matchmaking. There was a church ruling established in 1563 that prohibited weddings during Lent. The Irish had misinterpreted the ruling. They felt that marriages should take place before Lent. Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, was the most favorite day for Irish weddings.
When planning a wedding, there are a few basics to consider first. The location of the wedding will appear on the invitations. The last few days of winter can be spent indoors making wedding invitations. Invitations should be sent six to eight weeks before a wedding date. Since St Patricks Day is a holiday, sending invitations eight weeks before a wedding day is advisable.
With only a few simple ingredients, invitations can be made to send to guests. A few window screenings can be kept within a short walking distance of the house. They can dry the paper that is made and provide excercise after spending the winter months inside. A trip to WalMart can be made to buy the ingredients to make paper, including sponges and liquid starch. While there, check the sales for a blender or food processor. By adding wildflower seeds to the paper mixture, guests can plant their seeds before the first day of spring. When there is not enough time to make invitations, there are companies that sell paper with seeds.

Locations should be considered for the bridal shower, wedding rehersal dinner, wedding and reception. On St Patricks Day, these can all be held in a rustic church, a large backyard or by the sea. A grace note for being married in a garden is an arch. Wedding arches are usually quickly built by those with little building experience.
Several flower and plant varities are native for Ireland. Lillies, roses, sunflowers, orchids, gerberas, daffodils, daisies and rosemary are included. After adding twists of tulle to an arch, flowers can be arranged symmetrically on both sides. The heaviest flowers and plants should be at the apex of the arch. They can descend down the sides of the arch.
Having a wedding in a rustic church is a romantic traditon for St Patricks Day. Finding a rustic church for a wedding can be a spiritual challenge. The costs for reserving a church are less if the bride and groom are members. A rustic church is filled with charm and possibilities to decorate for a wedding day. Bows of tulle can be placed on the sides of pews.

Wedding guests can be given cones of petals when leaving the chapel or any other location where the ceremony is held. These can be made at home to save expenses. Collecting petals should be done for several months depending on the amount of cones that are planned. The best way to keep these is on the bottom of a cooler in containers at home. There can be petals of several different colors through collecting.
When florists make floral arrangements, they frequently keep the petals. Flower petals blow in coolers at florists before they are discarded. Months before a wedding day, contact florists and ask them to save petals. A few dollars can be offered to aid towards their charitable efforts.
Simple white dresses can become more colorful by adding a sash. By adding a sash, personality can be added to a simple white dress within moments. These can be bought or made from cotton or satin material. Combining fabrics can be done easily by adding the accessory of a sash.

A trip to Ireland can be taken at any time of the year. After a St Patricks Day wedding, taking a trip to Ireland is the icing on the cake. It can take several months to a year to secure a US Visa. The post office or clerk of courts can be contacted to begin an application for a passport if the US embassy is out of reach.
It is easy to be green for a St Patrick's Day wedding day. A bride and groom are a match made in heaven. Through planning, square savings can be found at the end of the rainbow. That equates with being poor in misfortune.
