What She Carried: Blake Lively

Just in time for the Gossip Girl finale, we're getting a new fix for our fascination with the lovely Blake Lively.  Her wedding pictures are being released through a collaboration with the equally mesmerizing Martha Stewart Wedding.  Of course Martha would land this wedding...

To their credit, the couple didn't release the most intimate details of their very private wedding.  BUT, they did give us a full frontal shot of the bridal bouquet,  (PS:  That almost never happens!) along with this explantion:


"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." 


While I don't ever advocate doing an exact copy of another bride's flowers, I know you'll probably be wanting to incorporate at least a little of this southern charm into your own bouquet.  So, on that note, here's a breakdown of flowers used, as seen in this now infamous photo.






So cheers to the happy couple!  And to a wedding bouquet that befits the dignity and class of we, oh so charming, Southern women.
