Marble slabs on shower walls & floors?

We are renovating a house my husband's only request was for marble slabs in the master bathroom, like a posh hotel (bless him!)!

After a very long search, we have found some gorgeous "vein cut" Diana Royale, which we would love to use in the shower walls (4ft x 7ft, zero entry). (Vanity and floors too.)

We are unsure about what to use on the shower floor?

The problem is that we live in an area of high humidity, and grout lines would definitely attract mold... And I don't suppose that we could be as aggressive cleaning mold off marble...?!

There is enough marble in our "bundle" to use a slab on the floor too. Less grout lines, right...?! Does anyone have any experience of using a marble slab on a shower floor?

Also, what would be the best way to do the shower drain? I think that a simple trench drain along the wall could look great, but from what I am reading here, installing these is a bit tricky...? Would a centre drain and "pie cuts" be a simpler option?

All advice gratefully received!
