St. Patrick’s Day Wedding Style Inspiration

Love, Luck and Shamrocks

With St. Patrick's Day coming up this weekend, we're swooning over this gorgeous green and white inspiration shoot from Michael Paul Photo. Featuring with shamrocks, horseshoes, crafty DIY projects, and plenty of luck and love, this styled shoot is filled with fun ideas you can copy for your own St. Paddy's Day celebration. Take a look!
The bride accented her beautiful gown with a shimmering green bolero and a matching sash around the waist.

The bride's real shamrock tattoo is the perfect accessory for a St. Patrick's Day wedding!


In keeping with the old superstition, the bride placed a sixpense in one of her (incredibly gorgeous) shoes. As the story goes, a sixpense will bring the couple a life filled with good fortune.
"To see the bride put on her shoe with the sixpence coin was just another reminder of how traditions can make all the difference in your special day," said the photographer.

Any one of these gorgeous bouquets is a perfect choice for a green and white wedding. Which is your favorite?

The beautiful table décor was filled with shamrocks, candles, and rustic flowers.





The horseshoe, a symbol of good luck, is perfect for place cards—guests can take their horseshoe home with them for a life filled with good luck. Legend says that, in order to keep the luck from running out, the horseshoe must be hung in the home with the ends facing up.





Sweet treats were topped with shamrocks, and the cake was surrounded by green Trix flowers.



Send each guest home with a little jar of personalized green and white M&Ms—accessorized with a shamrock, of course!

 "With the couples' excitement came a chance to be creative and realize that this couple is not only lucky to have each other but lucky to be in love," said the photographer. "We, as a team of wedding professionals, also felt very lucky to be a part of this truly magical and blessed day."

                           I’m Thankful for You

Thanksgiving is the appointed time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I’m thankful for you.
~By Joanna Fuchs We here at Floral Affairs would like to wish you and your loved ones a very Happy and blessed Thanksgiving. Becky

A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate, that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like those blades of grass, you can never mow,
standing straight, tall, and proud in a perfect little row.
A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world if we didn’t have a friend.
