TAYLOR Swift had 1,000 orange roses shipped in from Italy for her wedding to Travis Kelce after transforming Madison Square Gardens into an “enchanted forest”.
The singer chose the color to match her signature “orange theme” on her newest album The Life of A Showgirl.

It is rumoured she will sing a track off the album to her new husband in front of her guests.
Insiders revealed attendees are expected to be kept in the dark about the full details of the event until just 30 minutes before the celebrations start.
Guests will receive a text message telling them a car will pick them up at 3.30pm local time from outside their hotels.
They are expected to be driven to the huge party in blacked out SUVs and made to check in their phones.

A source said: “Despite the whole world knowing the wedding is at MSG, nothing was confirmed to the guests.
“All of them are set to be sent a text saying there will be a car picking them up at a set time.
“It is all very mysterious – but it is adding to the fun.”
Production crews are expected to use the building’s loading docks to erect a 180-ft drive-through tent to shield arriving guests from the public.
Cars dropping celebs off will drive into the white tent at the VIP entrance and curtains will be closed behind each vehicle.
Whopping pink drapes will be hung along the windows at the Garden to stop anyone looking in.
Celebrations at the storied midtown arena – where Taylor last played in 2013 – began on Thursday evening with a 100-guest “pre-party bash” which ran until after midnight.
Best friend Selena Gomez, Girls writer Lena Dunham, and Gigi Hadid alongside Bradley Cooper are all attending.
Singer Ellie Goulding was later spotted flying into the city.
Taylor returned home in a convoy of SUVs at 12.30am as workers in maroon trousers and white tuxedos were seen leaving the venue with food.
One confirmed with a wink that lobster and champagne was on the wedding menu.
Officials said it was an intimate rehearsal dinner despite rumours that the couple had already married, exchanging vows in front of a “tiny group of loved ones”.
The massive security detail – which has cost £120,000 – included snipers stationed on the roof, sniffer dogs, street closures and police barricades.
There was even a surveillance helicopter, protection worthy of world leaders.
One NYPD officer told The Jattvibe police have even been banned from having their phones on them inside.
He added that officers have been working 30 HOURS with no breaks because they didn’t have enough cops to cover the wedding.
He said: “It’s been a huge inconvenience.”
Emails seen by The Jattvibe appeared to show that “city officials have been aware of the wedding – and its impact on city streets – for nearly a month”.
An application was made to request “full street closures” under the subject: “Wedding Bells are Ringing.”
It’s believed the wedding will be filmed as a notice outside the arena alerted guests that cameras would be rolling inside the venue.
Bizarrely, there was a press area set up behind barricades akin to a royal wedding.
Family and friends of the couple were put up in five-star hotels across the city including the Ritz-Carlton and Greenwich Hotel.
A security guard at the Ritz said all its 31 suites were booked out by guests.
