Blake Lively had an unforgettable wedding to Ryan Reynolds in 2012 – and naturally, she wore an exquisite gown. However, her custom-made Marchesa wedding dress with gold embroidery looked very different at the end of the night after falling victim to a sparkler. Blake recalled the "heartbreaking" moment she saw her beautiful gown had been burned during the reception following their South Carolina nuptials.
"I get really frustrated when something goes wrong," she previously told Vogue . "For example, my wedding dress. Florence Welch was singing at the reception, and they brought out these sparklers, and I'm watching her sing.
"I look down and my wedding dress has a big burn mark from one of the sparklers. Right on the front! And it was just so heartbreaking to me." Despite her sadness, Blake changed her opinion about the disaster after a reassuring message from her husband.
She added: "And later, my dress was hanging up and Ryan said, 'Isn't that beautiful?' I said, 'What?' And he pointed to the burn. "My heart just stopped, because it was such a sensitive little subject. And he said, 'You'll always remember that moment with Florence singing and the sparklers.
You have that forever, right there, preserved.'" She added: "Now that's my favorite part of the dress." Blake and Ryan exchanged vows at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, on September 9, 2012.
The couple shared their wedding day exclusively with Martha Stewart Weddings, and photos from the intima.
