Hafner Florist Designs Beautiful Bridal Flowers for Toledo



As the unifying element to any wedding, the wedding flower colors derive from a combination of a bride’s stylistic tastes and seasonal trends.  Brides often find inspiration for this important bridal component in the most unlikely places.  After determining colors that brides do and don’t like, Hafner Florist transforms personal color preferences into bold and beautiful wedding flowers. 

First, brides should become very familiar with their wedding and reception locations, according to TheKnot.com.  What is the lighting in the space like?  Is the location stylistically modern or traditional?  What mood does the bride seek to set in the space?  Because different locations set unique moods, brides can select wedding flower colors that enhance the aesthetic quality of the place.  Because Hafner Florist has developed many close relationships with most churches and halls in the Toledo area, the wedding consultants are familiar with the décor in these establishments and can help brides determine complementary colors.  It is important to consider the décor and color palate of each location in order to develop harmonizing wedding flower colors that unify the mood and tone of the wedding day.

The next step is to identify a bride’s individual preferences.  Inspiration can derive from many places – a fabric store or the produce section at the grocery store, for example.  Ultimately, brides should identify colors that make them happy.  What is the color of a bride’s bedspread?  Her kitchen placemats?  Inspiration can come from the simplest places, too.

Keeping it simple – three or four colors, tops – is the best way to ensure a unified wedding flower color scheme.  These colors should be balanced between bold and softer, more neutral hues to be aesthetically pleasing instead of “over-the-top.”  Currently popular color combinations include navy blue/hot pink/magenta, white/light-green, yellow/silver/black, and teal/magenta.  Hafner Florist offers a wide variety of flowers, foliages, and accessories to bring these trends (and many more!) to life.  For more information concerning popular color trends, visit the Hafner Florist Trends Page.  After identifying her wedding flower colors, a bride can experiment with different shades and textures to add depth.  Wedding consultants at Hafner Florist can suggest a variety of flowers, accessories, and foliages that heighten the dramatic effect of any color scheme.  

When discussing her wedding flower colors with the wedding consultant, the bride should have in mind the number of people in the wedding party who will need flowers.  This number helps the wedding consultant determine the right balance of each color in every piece so that the color scheme is well balanced and unified.  Regardless of a bride’s color preferences, Hafner Florist can achieve a unique presentation that any bride is sure to love.
