Winter Wedding Centerpiece

This winter season, brides-to-be can explore a variety of colors and themes for both holiday and non-holiday weddings.  Pinecones, berries, winter greenery, and bare branching will accent any green, red, white, and metallic color schemes and evoke the coziness and sparkle of the season.  In order to maintain the romance and elegance of the special day and avoid a look resembling Santa’s workshop, brides should remember, “Less is more”:  utilizing full white blooms such as hydrangeas and red amaryllis will express both holiday glamour and timeless love.  The professional wedding consultants at Hafner Florist can easily create floral combinations that convey the sophistication and cheer of the season.

Many popular trends seemingly deemed “spring and summer only” can be accomplished easily with winter patterns, colors, and flowers.  Toledo wedding florists adapt the popular “green” floral trend with winter greens, branching, pinecones, berries, and other natural elements.  Such organic accents will not only add visually pleasing diversity, but also will captivate guests with the homely, fresh aroma of balsam, cedar, and other woodsy scents.  Warm candlelight provides a lovely balance for the chilly metallic tones and natural accents, warming the room and adding a sparkling quality to transparent beads and clear vases that reflects in glittering flickers across the tables.  In addition to traditional candles, Hafner Florist offers submersible LED candles that add a unique romantic glow to centerpieces.  Bathing flowers, greens, and accents in candlelight unifies winter wedding themes.

Written by Abigail Sterling, Published January 7th, 2012

Love is in the air around Christmas and New Years, making the holiday season a popular time for marriage proposals.  When the initial surprise subsides, the newly engaged Toledo bride may find herself buried beneath a growing To-Do list, of which a substantial part concerns wedding flowers.  New Toledo brides-to-be can read about the wedding consultants at Hafner Florist to learn general information about the Toledo wedding florist’s experience, creativity, friendliness, and knowledge of the industry.  After choosing a date, venue, and color palette, brides can make an appointment with either Beth or Kellie via telephone, email, or the contact form on the Hafner Florist website.  With this information, the wedding consultant can offer seasonal suggestions and coordinating pieces for particular venues, themes, and colors at the initial consultation to achieve the bride’s dream look for her wedding day.  For wedding dates falling on holiday weekends or in popular floral months, such as May, June, September, and October, Hafner Florist recommends booking early.  For dates in other months, booking at least six months in advance is recommended.
