MISCELLANEOUS > Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Wedding
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are no strangers to a sea of cameras aimed at them. But when they decided to marry, they wanted to celebrate in privacy—and in style. And while they remain protective of images of them on their most heartfelt occasion, they graciously let us share pictures of the elements we created together.
Weddings’ style director Kate Berry created Blake Lively’s lush bouquet of pink jasmine, andromeda, dusty miller, and blushing bride hydrangea. She dipped select petals in subtle rose-gold glitter to play up the embroidery of the same color on the bride’s couture ballgown by Marchesa.
An avid cook, crafter, and baker, Blake envisioned an abundant dessert table overflowing with their favorite treats. The focal point was their vanilla-and-sour-cream wedding cake with peach-apricot preserves and Earl Grey-milk chocolate buttercream made by Maggie Austin Cake in Alexandria, Virginia.
On the dessert table, s’mores bars by Bakehouse Charleston were contained in pretty wrappers.
Gold foil cupcake liners held coffee-and-cream espresso beans from Nuts.com.
Guests enjoyed blueberry cheesecake tartlets by Caviar & Bananas in Charleston.
