Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are no strangers to a sea of cameras aimed at them. The actors, known for their roles in Gossip Girl and The Proposal, respectively, among others, live their lives in the spotlight. In fact, they even met on the set of The Green Lantern. 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 let us share pictures of some of the details. Click through this gallery for a sneak peek of Blake Lively's wedding dress and bouquet, their cake, their dessert table (Blake's an avid baker), and more!

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.
