Flowers by Sweet Basil for Emily & Chris

We are excited and privileged to have had the honor of providing some of the flower arrangements at a family wedding Saturday, in North Georgia. Emily and Chris had a beautiful ceremony and reception! This is a little of what we did....

Asiatic Lilies placed in the windows made a nice draw to the lush green beyond, and complimented the beautiful centerpieces.
