What's the gossip about Gossip Girl?

Sshhhh......Is it really possible to keep a secret in Hollywood?

Well we have some lively gossip for you about a secret Hollywood wedding ceremony that sees Tinseltown's notoriously private couple, Gossip Girl's Blake Lively and hunky actor Ryan Reynolds, reportedly tying the knot on Sunday night at Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina. 

The hall has been the setting for a romantic liaison once before as it was used as the summer home of Allie, the character played by Rachel McAdams, in the 2004 film The Notebook. 

The intimate ceremony is thought to have taken place inside of an authentic rustic barn in front of 60 close family and friends whilst the reception was held in a chic white tent on the grounds of the plantation.  

Martha Stewart Weddings had exclusive coverage of the event and according to the magazine there was a "fun-filled carnival hour and elegant reception" which was "a truly enchanting celebration." The magazine promises more details in its December issue. 

Blake and her bridesmaids are thought to have worn custom Marchesa gowns designed by Lively's friends, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig.

Blake's Marchesa one of a kind couture bridal ballgown had a hand draped silk tulle bodice adorned with custom crystal and rose gold embroidery.

The bridal party each wore a unique custom made blush silk chiffon Marchesa gown, with crystal embroidered detail.

Ryan looked elegantly sartorial in a Burberry tuxedo.

Christian Louboutin (who else) designed the bride's shoes whilst the couple's fabulous rings were designed by jeweller Lorraine Schwartz.

Many famous faces were amongst the guests, with names from both ends of the musical spectrum such as Florence Welch and Bette Midler, both of whom are said to have sung at the ceremony.

But in keeping with Lively's style, everyone is keeping tight lipped about the whole affair! After all if there is going to be any gossip who better to hear it from than the Gossip Girl herself!

We will keep you posted with some pics as we find out more!
