St. Patricks Day is around the corner, which prompted me to look back at the Irish-inspired flower arrangements Martha and I created for the magazine over the years. You'll need to color your own carnations for two of the arrangements—here's the how-to. These simple flowers look so elegant in Waterford crystal, an import from Ireland.
I've added these flower arranging ideas to Martha Stewart Living's St. Patrick's Day Pinterest board. Check out the board for even more festive ideas!

Beautiful flowers love the green coloring of the carnation flowers. Waterford crystal is beautiful and very known in Ireland and Europe.

Kev I love how you connected your post to Martha Stewart Living's Pinterest board. Well, other than the fact that I can get lost there for hours! Happy St. Patrick's day!

A lovely representation of the beauty of the Emerald Isle, and the Irish people's artisans. And by the way it is true about the 40 shades of green
Thank you just delightful!
