Blake Lively Debuts Massive Wedding Ring Designed By Lorraine Schwartz
Ryan Reynolds sure knows how to pick them and we're not just talking about his leggy new wife, Blake Lively. The hunky actor chose an impressive and might we also add, sizable sparkler for the "Gossip Girl" fashionista.
The attractive newlyweds were photographed mid-lip lock in Charleston S.C, the day after their super covert wedding. When we got a glimpse of the weighty band around Lively's finger, we were surprised she was able to keep her dainty hand elevated.
According to People magazine, the ring was designed by Lorraine Schwartz and features a large stone bejeweled with a band of tiny diamonds.
"Ryan chose Lorraine Schwartz to help him find a flawless, light pink oval diamond," a spokesperson for the jeweler said. "They worked together to design a custom setting in rose gold and pave diamonds with a nod to deco." Her rose gold wedding ring, also by Schwartz, boasts a series of delicate diamonds, and complements her engagement sparkler well.
The couple had a mini-moon in a charming Inn in Little Washington which boasts a mere 18 rooms. But, their blissful country honeymoon ended rather quickly because Lively was back at work on the set of "Gossip Girl" on Monday.
According to People Magazine's senior writer Jennifer Garcia, Lively and Reynolds exhausted all of their efforts to keep secrets from their wedding from leaking to the press.
"Not even the people who baked the cake or the plantation owners had any idea that Hollywood's hottest couple was going to tie the knot at their place," she said.
The bride was reportedly serenaded by dear friend Florence Welch (of Florence+ the Machine) and the legendary Bette Midler, but the most memorable performance came from a choir of 10 children, from First Baptist Church, who sang "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" by Frankie Valli, as Lively walked down the aisle to her husband-to-be.
To keep the tender moment private, the children's parents had to sign non-disclosure agreements and surrender their cell phones before entering the ceremony.
