Safeway Albertsons
When you begin planning your wedding a million thoughts run through your mind — like finding businesses to create your flower arrangements, bake the perfect cake, provide catering, and pair beverages to your menu. Luckily, there is one place that can do it all, and it’s probably located in your neighborhood.
Safeway Albertsons has everything you could possibly need for your wedding events from the bridal shower and the rehearsal dinner to your wedding day.
“For us, it is personal,” said Sherry Halbakken, Marketing Promotions Coordinator. “Our associates truly care about our customers and the communities we serve. At Safeway Albertsons, we want to be a part of your everyday life, and your special occasions as well.”
The Safeway Albertsons associates take great pride in servicing their communities. It is the perfect place to find high quality, on-trend items at an affordable price. From beverages to bakery items, Safeway Albertsons is the one-stop-shop for your wedding day.
Beverages Department
The beverages department has a wide variety of wine, beer, spirits, and champaign to choose from. Their specialists can assist you with pairing wine to your main course, whether that’s red, white, rosé, or sparkling.
Their team can also suggest selections that fit the theme of your wedding, like a flirty punch or wines to match the specific region of your reception.
Cocktails are a popular choice for weddings and many couples decide to serve their personal favorites. Some even create their own signature cocktails — named after themselves. Although the results can be delightful, they can also miss the mark. So, consulting a Safeway Albertsons specialist for a second opinion may be a good idea before serving your guests.
If you’re looking for something a little more personal, consider a wine that is significant to your relationship. Maybe it’s the resiling you shared on your first date or the chardonnay from one of your favorite holiday destinations. Whatever it may be, Safeway Albertsons can custom order it for you.
Floral Department
The Safeway Albertsons floral department is staffed with excellent floral designers that can help you with anything your heart desires, from a simple bouquet to an elaborate tablescape, and anything in between.
They are always thrilled to make custom arrangements with locally sourced components. If you want baby’s breath, roses, carnations, lilies, tulips, hydrangeas, sunflowers – they have it! The floral department can create the perfect designs for your bouquets, centerpieces, and aisle accents.
For special occasions, Safeway Albertsons also offers to order anything they might not have on hand.
With outdoor weddings becoming more predominant, many couples incorporate natural greenery into their arrangements for a wild, outdoorsy appearance. The Safeway Albertsons team stays on top of wedding trends and continues to update their inventory to fit upcoming styles.
The floral department looks forward to creating botanical masterpieces and enjoys playing a small part in your special day.
Deli Department
The deli department has something for everyone, with gourmet cheeses, salami, luncheon meats, creative salads, entrées, and beautiful party platters.
By offering scheduled tasting sessions, the deli department can show couples their wide variety of options.
If you’re not sure where to start, they recommend making a list of foods that you like or have enjoyed at weddings in the past. They also suggest considering the logistics of the wedding — fancy or casual, large or small — which will affect your food choices.
The time of day also needs to be taken into account. Will it be a sit-down dinner or just appetizers? If you can come up with the main course, deciding on sides is simpler. Looking online or scheduling a tasting can help narrow down the final plans.
The deli department can guide you through their menu starting with customer favorites. For example, their summertime chicken is a popular choice for large weddings while appetizers like the meat and cheese trays, fruit and vegetable platters, and even their chicken wings are great for intimate gatherings.
Safeway Albertsons knows that food is an important part of any wedding reception. They take pride in being able to provide popular dining experiences like charcuterie boards or buffets where guests can serve themselves and walk around socializing.
Bakery Department
The bakery department can help you design the wedding cake of your dreams — large or small. Their cake decorators are dedicated to helping clients create the perfect day to celebrate love.
Their tip for all engaged couples is to taste, taste, taste! Do not be afraid to ask the bakery manager if you can sample the different cake flavors, frostings, and fillings they have to offer. Or if you are going another route, ask to sample the pies, cookies, or doughnuts.
To help couples find the right cake for their event, the bakery will ask questions, share ideas, and let clients sample different flavor combinations from their catalog.
With so many customizable options you can create your dream cake from scratch. Their most popular wedding flavor is a white cake with white buttercream — simple, classic, and yummy!
If you want something non-traditional you could try marble or carrot cake; blueberry, raspberry, or cream cheese filling; sprinkles, edible glitter, or flowers. The possibilities are endless.
They even have non-dairy whipped icing in flavors like vanilla, strawberry, or cookies and cream.
Safeway Albertsons also has photo cake machines that can scan a favorite picture to create an edible portrait on your wedding cake.
They can incorporate real flowers to match the rest of the wedding theme and create colored frosting to match your color scheme.
Cake, not your thing? No worries! The bakery department also has award-winning pies, gourmet cookies, decadent brownies, fresh donuts, first-rate cupcakes, and much more! Think outside the box (cake box that is).
So, what are you waiting for? Pop in your local Safeway Albertsons and speak with the store director — they will connect you with the correct department managers to explore every detail of your wedding day.
