CENTERPIECES

COLORS
Here are some suggestions on wedding colors:
– Some shade of green
– Gold
– Celadon
– Champange
– Blue (the color is symbolic for good luck for the Irish and was once Ireland’s national color)

FAVORS
– Gold foil covered chocolate coins.
– Small terra cotta pots filled with wildflower seeds (decorate pots with shamrocks and rainbows)

MUSIC
– Dance to an Irish Jig during the reception!

OTHER IDEAS
– Exchange Claddagh rings. On the Claddagh, the hands mean friendship, the crown means loyalty, and the heart means love
– Irish tradition calls for the bride to carry a horseshoe down the aisle for good luck. Many Irish store sell small horseshoe pins for this purpose.
