The bridesmaids could wear dresses of the same green color to match.Or, for a more casual party, consider having the bridesmaids dress as pixie fairies or irish maids and the groomsmen can dress as Irish leprechauns. For yourself dress in a white gown but incorporate some green touches into your dress such as ribbon or lace. Invitations:For a formal elegant look, start with a white invitation and have a simple Celtic Knot cross in green, with green writing. Or another elegant irish look would be a scroll invitation.

You could also use green and white confetti or small four leaf clovers and white rose petals to scatter on the tables.Favors:Luck o the Irish key chains- lucky rabbits foot , tiny buckets with gold wrapped candies, an Irish cd with personalized label, terra cota pots with shamrocks planted inside, claddagh cookies , airplane sized bottles of irish whiskey, Irish cream, etc
Music:Have bag pipe musicians play at your ceremony or reception, or instead a harpist. Consider hiring a group of Irish dancers to dance at the reception. Also, the Irish Wedding Song is very popular at Irish weddings.
