Hafner Florist Captures Winter Sparkle in Toledo Wedding Designs

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.

Seasonal Wedding Flowers from Hafner Florist Provide High-Quality, Unique Look for Toledo Brides

Written by Abigail Sterling, Published October 31st, 2011

When choosing wedding flowers, many brides who seek a unique style look immediately to exotic and tropical blooms.  Indeed, rare flowers create a striking floral presentation for any wedding; however, the quality of such out-of-season flowers is difficult to predict and they are usually pricy.  Brides often ignore the infinite possibilities of locally grown, seasonal blooms in the Toledo area.  Seasonal flowers work beautifully with (and often influence!) current wedding trends, such as the popular natural “green” presentation featuring branching, various shades of foliage, and an overall airy design.  For additional information on trendy wedding styles, visit the Hafner Florist weddings website.

  

While seasonal, locally grown flowers are easily accessible to Toledo wedding florists, it does not mean they are overused or ordinary!  Instead, these unique, quality blooms are often overshadowed by the enticing glamour of unusual, out-of-season flowers that are typically more expensive than seasonal flowers.  Popular Toledo wedding flower trends emphasize colors that make a bold statement – something that designers can readily achieve with high-value, local flowers.  It is recommended that brides with particular flowers in mind set their wedding dates when the flowers are seasonally grown to ensure quality – they can simply ask Hafner Florist designers, who are well-versed on the flowers and their seasons.  Wedding designers can identify quality, ideal seasonal blooms for brides that have not selected specific flowers but know their color palette.  As an added bonus, brides can feel good about choosing seasonal, local flowers too, because such purchases support nearby growers and the economy.
