Blake Lively looked 'very natural' when she married Ryan Reynolds.

The 'Gossip Girl' actress wed the handsome actor in a surprise ceremony earlier this month and sources say she wanted to look as close to her everyday self as she could.

One told PEOPLE: 'She looked very natural. Her hair was mostly down, but some of it was swept up. She didn't wear a veil. She wore natural makeup; her skin was flawless. It was a clean look, very fresh.'

The 25-year-old beauty wore a custom-made Marchesa ball gown for her big day, which she teamed with Christian Louboutin shoes, and she was keen for her look to be very simple.

The source added: 'Her dress was simple yet beautiful, slightly off-white, no big bows, no train.

'She didn't wear anything gaudy; no big jewellery. She had small earrings, and I believe a very delicate necklace, but nothing really prominent.'

It was recently revealed the couple - who have been dating for around a year - didn't marry until September 14.

While they threw a huge wedding party and reception in South Carolina on September 9, their union wasn't made official until the following week after they applied for a marriage licence on September 13 at Charleston County Probate Court.

The document shows they then tied the knot the following day.
