From what we know so far, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ South Carolina country wedding was a romantic (and yes, very private!) affair. Love that rustic-chic vibe? Steal a few of these ideas for your day!
Go The Destination Wedding Route
He's from Canada and she's from Los Angeles -- but that didn't stop Blake and Ryan from choosing a quiet secluded wedding spot on the east coast for their surprise wedding. Destination weddings undoubtedly create that laid-back vibe (they also usually make for smaller guest lists)! Find A Romantic Venue With A Story
Blake and Ryan married at Boone Hall Plantation, the same place that the movie, 'The Notebook' was filmed. Mansions, estates and historic hotels all have romantic stories. Choose An All-White Color Palette
Okay we actually don't have any idea what color palette Blake and Ryan used but we'd be willing to bet they complemented their Southern venue with enchanting decor like this. Get that ultra-elegant and romantic style using a soft color palette of blush, lavender or simply all-whites and ivory. Opt For An Airy Wedding Dress
Blake wore a custom-made Marchesa dress -- and we think this particular design from Marchesa's latest line would have looked stunning on her. Shop for wedding dresses with soft silks, thready lace and elegant beading to fit that romantic country wedding style. Order A Simple, Ruffled Wedding Cake
We are 95% sure that Maggie Austin (of Maggie Austin Cakes) was the designer behind Blake and Ryan's wedding cake. Her designs are elegant and light. Have your designer create a cake like this one with slight ruffles that will perfectly fit a rustic wedding. Theme Your Cocktail Hour
Rumor is that Blake and Ryan had a carnival themed cocktail hour. Surprise your guests with a themed cocktail hour. Maybe it's drinks from your favorite movie or beach chic cocktails as a nod to your honeymoon. Incorporate Your Favorite Songs
Florence Welch (from Florence + The Machine) reportedly performed at Blake and Ryan's wedding. Although hiring a famous band would probably blow your budget and beyond, you can still make your reception music special. Beyond your first dance and special songs, come up with one to three other tunes that are special to you and ask your DJ or band to play it during dinner or dancing. 
Love the themed cocktail hour idea!
