Hafner Florist Captures Winter Sparkle in Wedding Flower Designs

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. 



Wedding Cake Floral

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.

Wedding consultants at Hafner Florist quite literally strive to “make bridal dreams come true” by becoming familiar with a bride’s unique tastes, interests, and even hobbies!  A bride’s individual interests, from butterflies to French bulldogs, can be incorporated to create matchlessly breathtaking wedding flowers.  Not only does Hafner Florist look to develop personal relationships with brides, but understanding what makes each bride unique is essential in creating a one-of-a-kind look.

           
Hafner Florist Toledo works with any bride’s budget to produce the wedding flowers of her dreams through the most resourceful methods.  In dreaming up the perfect wedding, brides should identify the bridal flower features that are most important to them.  That way, wedding consultants can easily accentuate the right focus for each wedding.  For example, brides often “recycle” ceremony pieces during the reception, which creates a unified look that fits well within a bride’s budget.  Discerning a bride’s wedding flower priorities helps wedding consultants generate unique floral presentations that do not put a strain on the budget.            

           
A bride’s unique wedding tastes can be seamlessly molded into modern, vintage, or traditional styles, depending upon her preferences.  For the modern bride, Hafner Florist produces cutting-edge and contemporary styles brought to life through brilliant color and refreshing presentation.  Similarly, an airy, whimsical presentation of softer tones for a dreamlike, vintage bridal look can be fashioned with a bride’s specific color and stylistic preferences in mind.  Hafner Florist can even adapt traditional styles to any bride’s wedding flower dreams – a look distinguished by red, white, and pink tones to emphasize the sentiments of love and passion.  Brides who are uncertain about which style suits their liking can view wedding flower photos in bridal magazines and on wedding websites, such as The Knot (www.theknot.com).  Ultimately, getting in touch with her own interests and wedding tastes will help any bride determine the perfect colors and floral trends for her special day.
