How To Prepare Your St Patrick’s Day Tablescape

Our tablescape tutorial is divided into three parts

  • Hanging floral wreath
  • Table botanicals

How To Prepare A Hanging Wreath

Materials needed:

  • A  grapevine door wreath frame with or without flowers – I used a premade wreath with cream flowers

  • Bells of Ireland and Seeded Eucalyptus
This St Patricks day tablescape is modern, soft and romantic. A different spin from the normal bright green and gold.

Cut Seeded Eucalyptus in 10″-12″ pieces. Tape eight bunches of 5 – 6 stems together with floral tape. Keep bottom ends even to create a natural look on the bunches with height variation as shown.

Seeded Eucalyptus

Next place wreath on flat surface with backside facing you and distribute the bunches evenly as shown.

Secure each piece on with wire.

St Patrick's Wreath

Carefully turn wreath over and insert flowers in bunches of 2-3 stems and secure with wire.

Flowery St Patrick's Wreath

Cut 6 long pieces of Bells of Ireland approximately 12″- 16″ each and prepare by wiring and taping  each piece as shown below.

Wrapped Bells of Ireland

Secure each piece on wreath with wire spacing out evenly and alternating long and short pieces.

St Patrick's Hanging Wreath

Attach three pieces of ribbon evenly spaced around the wreath and hang securely from an hook attached to the ceiling or suspend from an overhanging chandelier.

Creating the Table Botanicals  

Materials needed:

For small floral pieces-Make small bunches of Seeded Eucalyptus, tape with floral tape.  Add one pink flower and one piece small Bells of Ireland Tips.

  • A small vase for each place setting – I used a gilded votive glass
  • 1 Larger vase for center of table
  • Small pieces of Seeded Eucalyptus and a small tip of the Bells of Ireland
  • One small pink flower
  • Floral tape

Setting Up The Tableware 

Materials needed:

  • 4 Gold chargers
  • 4 Dinner size plates, I used a white plate with a soft green wide boarder
  • 4 Salad plate- I used a white with gold polka dot plate
  • 4 Napkins to coordinate
  • 4 Wine glasses
  • 4 sets of Silverware
  • 4 small Martini glasses
  • Potato salad for Martini Glass
Table Plates

Place chargers on table making sure the edges are even with the table edge. Using linen is optional for this look I prefer tablescape I am placing the chargers directly on the table.

Plate Settings

Next place your dinner plate on top of charger making sure it is centred evenly.

Fold napkin into a long rectangle and place on top of dinner plate allowing for a few inched of overhang on the  table edge as shown below.

Plates with Napkins

Next place salad plate on top of napkin securing the napkin in place and place each small floral piece to the top right of each place setting.

Salad Plates

Place centerpiece on table centering directly beneath hanging wreath and add stemware to the top right on the left of small floral piece

Tableware

Place Silver on each side of place setting. Remember the knife is always on the right.

As a finishing touch I always add a little bit of whimsy to my tables. Here we’ve added a fun first course of baby potatoes part boiled with a little olive oil, sea salt , rosemary and of course a shamrock pick!

    This is so pretty! I normally don’t like St. Patrick’s day decor because it seems so gaudy, but this is gorgeous!

      Thank you Elizabeth! I really tried to capture the essence of St Patrick’s Day without being obvious, therefore the design concept was subtle but we did manage to include the greens, golds, Bells of Ireland & potatoes. I struggled with the Shamrock but did finally give in!

    Oh my goodness, I am so in love with this setting!! I am usually very traditional but that’s because I can’t seem to come up with something I would like, but I love this! Pinning and sharing. Thanks for sharing this at Totally Terrific Tuesday last week! I can’t wait to see what you have to share this week!

      It’s so much easier when the inspiration is brought to you isn’t it Sharon. I like traditional things too, but every now and then it is nice to go with something a little different. And Alice certianly shared a pretty tablescape here with us 🙂
