Selby Gardens Orchid Ball “The Ruby Affair”
“On a day that is all about love and romance – Valentine’s Day – Marie Selby Botanical Gardens’ annual Orchid Ball set hearts aflutter with an event that exuded romance at every turn,” reported Gayle Guynup, Herald Tribune. “Nearly 400 elegantly attired guests came down the ruby-red carpet and into the gardens, which were tastefully decorated with red swags of fabric and twinkling white lights.”
