This is definitely more specific to St. Patrick’s Day, but some of these table elements can be left on the table all month long! I love the shamrock plates and the green and white silverware!

Apothecary Jars are fun to decorate with because the contents can be switched out for every single holiday! I love the classiness of these jars on a table or mantel!

5 Decorate with Banners and plants

Banners can be super tacky, unless you find the right one!! I love this banner because it’s small, and doesn’t span the entire kitchen!  Print this one from Landeelu to decorate for St Patrick’s day.

6 Wreath or door decor

This wreath is simple beautiful!  Emphasis on the simple part! I love the shamrock with the letter in the middle, and that it’s made of wood. It’s so subtle that you might not even realize it’s a shamrock until you take a closer look. Win-win!
