Gorgeous Green Tablescapes for St. Patrick’s Day

This year, ditch the shamrocks and cheesy party decor in favour of a more rustic and relaxed look using items you likely have in your fridge and garden. Green plants, herbs, fruits and vegetables make a room smell and feel fresh while signaling spring-the ultimate reason to celebrate! Whether you’re tight on time or have a limited budget, these unexpected and inexpensive arrangements will create a stunning tablescape for your St. Patrick’s Day get-together.

Gather hordes of herbs on your dining table, credenza or in your entrance to welcome guests. Parsley, dill, coriander and thyme create a fragrant combination that will make your party space smell heavenly.

Place a bunch of asparagus in a glass vase and arrange sprigs of flowering broccolini around it for a structural arrangement. A full head of broccoli in a low vase also works well on a round table.

Keep your eyes peeled for beautiful brass vases at local markets and vintage shops. Look for various sizes and shapes to arrange an interesting cluster on your tabletop. You can also rent pieces for your special event from @brasshunter on Instagram.

Need an extra pop of green on the table? Search your fridge for small fruits and veggies that won’t spoil quickly-green apples, tart limes and sweet pears-and can be enjoyed as a drink garnish or easy snack throughout the party.

Small pots of succulents make a relaxed centerpiece that will last for months. Line a few along the center of your table or pair with green-hued hydrangeas for an extra festive feel.

Trim a single large leaf from an Aloe Vera plant and place it in a cylinder-shaped vase or in a glass pot with decorative stones. Great on its own or mixed together with other florals, this striking arrangement is sure to be a conversation piece among your guests.

Green and gold makes a pretty palette for a sophisticated St. Patrick’s Day gathering. Look for golden home décor pieces that can be used on other holidays throughout the year. These golden starburst orbs and gold dipped cylinder are available at Indigo.
