This pair of trees served double duty. They began at Nicholas Conservatory where they ‘framed’ the Ceremony Arch. Then, they were transferred to Anderson Gardens to make a more personal and warm entrance as our guests arrived for the reception.
This Stunning Trio was our Focal Point and Greeted our Guests upon arriving at Anderson Gardens. The “Table of Contents” Guest Seating Assignment, CupCake-Cake Tower atop the Custom Burlap Overlay and Standing Floor Hook and Lantern.
