When I walked into the preview for the Governors Ball, the suspended globes immediately caught my eye. However, once I was able to pull my gaze down, my eyes became lost in the drama that is the floral arrangement.
There are over 15,000 roses, in 15 different shades of red, and they're accompanied by golden orchids imported from Thailand several days before the event. The cocktail tables are dotted with bouquets of roses, the dinner tables are huge, tall red and gold bouquets, and the food stations are littered with petals. The staff at Mark's Garden have created a beautiful arrangement that is dramatic, and somehow over the top and subdued at the same time.
I had a chance to talk to Mark Held — he and his staff have been doing the flowers for the Governors Ball for the past 13 years — about their floral decisions. To see that, and even more pics, read more.

3i guess they are pretty if you like that sort of thing. it reminds me of what you see on 'my big fat fabulous wedding' where brides go overboard.
i'd LOVE to see those gold orchids though - i just love orchids and i'm sure they'll look nice
4Those are beautiful, are they just roses? What are the other flowers?
