      For the recently-engaged bride, choosing a florist may appear like one of the more daunting tasks on her long to-do list.  Which Toledo florist will deliver the best results?  With factors such as cost and quality at stake, how does the bride know which florist to select?  How can she be sure the wedding flowers will be just what she wants?  Brides can ease some wedding planning stresses with our suggestions for selecting the best Toledo Wedding Florists.

Simple savings. Use wedding ceremony flowers at reception.



Choosing the Perfect Wedding Flowers in Toledo, Made Easy:   

1.       The bride should get to know her specific tastes.  Flipping through bridal magazines and searching the internet is a great way to find color and design schemes.  This initial search isn’t necessarily about selecting the exact wedding flowers, but rather, about choosing attractive styles and colors that tailor to the bride’s preferences. 

2.       What are other people saying?  Browsing wedding websites, such as www.theknot.com, is a good way to find highly recommended florists in Toledo, Sylvania, Maumee, and other neighboring areas.  Hafner Florist wedding consultants work hard to cater to the unique tastes of each bride (and help her articulate her ideas if she needs some help!).  This year, Hafner Florist was voted by local brides as “The Knot Best of Weddings 2011 Pick” for the second year in a row for Toledo wedding flowers.

3.       Budgets are based on choices.  The most inexpensive florist is not always the best choice for the bride’s wedding flowers.  Luckily, Hafner Florist can work with any budget!  From subtle bloom alternatives to “recycling” wedding flowers from the ceremony in the reception, Hafner experienced consultants have dozens of money-saving options for any bride that in no way compromise the quality of her wedding flowers. 

4.       The bride should pick the florist she enjoys working with.  The bride should pick a florist not only knowledgeable, but enthusiastic about her unique wedding flowers.  Hafner Florist wedding consultants are eager to listen to brides’ ideas and answer questions.  Brides should always remember to pick the florist they feel most comfortable with and most confident in.   

5.       Seeing is believing!  It is important that the wedding consultant provides the bride with samples of the florist’s previous wedding flowers.  During a wedding consultation and subsequent appointments at Hafner Florist, the wedding consultant will provide a multisensory overview of the bride’s wedding flowers including fresh flowers, accents, and a photo album of previous bridal flowers Toledo.  Ultimately, it is essential that the bride has absolute faith in the florist’s ability to deliver breathtaking results – it is one less burden on her shoulders!
