Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's wedding photos are totally boring - surprise!

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.

Blake's cloudlike silk tulle gown featured a fitted bodice, illusion crystal beading on the shoulders, and rose-gold embroidery. Jeweler Lorraine Schwartz forged Ryan and Blake's wedding bands.

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.

Thank you. These Pinterest/Etsy weddings are going to look so dated in 10 years.

Oh, except the bouquets made out of buttons. I've never seen that. Until this thread. WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS CUTE!?

Sorry that you find all that stuff annoying, but for those of us who don't attend weddings on the regular, it's all very cute.


Basically what I'm saying is RME.

After attending five weddings with THIS EXACT SAME CRAP AT EACH in the past two years, this comment makes you my hero of the day.

intangibleamor 20th-Dec-2012 06:02 pm (UTC)
Which is exactly why our studio stopped doing wedding photography. lol

This all sounds absolutely terrible.
ashtrayrock 20th-Dec-2012 06:06 pm (UTC)
I do it as a career and the fact my pricing and my equipment (I don't do "natural light" hazy can barely see faces and background BS) reflects that thankfully gets me out of the hipster wedding market which is nice. I do a lot more traditional and classy stuff, people who still have real flowers and actually want to make their wedding look timeless and not pinterest porn.

I see so much of that on Offbeat Bride, to the point that I go "Okay, I'm gonna skip reading for a couple weeks and wait for something different...Oh lord, they're still into that"
