The countdown for us to run to the theaters to go watch Blake Lively and Justin Bladoni in It Ends With Us is officially on.
If you’re wondering why we’re so stoked to see the flick, here’s a quick recap of what to expect. It Ends With Us is inspired by Colleen Hoover‘s literary sensation, and tells the story of Lily Bloom (played by Lively), who moves to Boston to chase her lifelong dream of opening her own business. She meets a charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (played by Bladoni) and her first boyfriend, Atlas (played Brandon Sklenar), reenters her life. Things then take a turn when Lily gets caught in a love triangle between Ryle and Atlas, leaving her with an impossible choice.
Wanting to bring her floral-loving character’s small business to life — as well as get everyone excited for what they were about to watch this weekend — Blake teamed up with Starbright Floral Design in New York City to transform their space into the ultimate flower shop. Blending both Lily’s love for flowers and Blake’s real life passion for making delicious beverages, the Celeb Secrets gals were given a sneak peek inside the iconic collaboration by participating in a special floral arrangement class inspired by one of the movie’s main storylines on Wednesday (August 7).
Located in the heart of the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan, we were greeted by friendly staff who immediately brought us to our own table to learn more about the importance of particular flowers and their placement. Using Blake’s Betty Buzz bottles as vases, we were able to put together a variety of different arrangements while sipping on the star’s beverage brands and munching on delicious light bites.

Keeping on theme with some of the brand’s most popular flavors, we put together three citrus-inspired arrangements that are the perfect addition to our home decor this summer.
Starting our flower making journey with the Betty Blooms: Grandiose Grapefruit, we filled our vase with pink lisianthks, statice and miniature calla lilies that literally tickled us pink. We then put together the Betty Blooms: Lush Lemon Lime arrangement, which was loaded with green anthurium and hellebore, making it the ultimate magical blend of elegance and earth. To top off our incredible evening, we put together the Betty Blooms: Magnificent Meyer Lemon arrangement, which was adorned with Buttercup ranunculus, Peppergrass, Yellow roses and Cream Lisianthus. It was an irresistible scent for all, even those with the most discerning palate.
Luckily for us — and everyone reading this post — you don’t have to be in New York to snag these arrangements. You purchase them as a trio directly on Starbright Floral Design’s website or in-person both as a trio and individually at the store’s flagship address at 140 W 26th St, New York, NY 10001.
It Ends With Us is now playing in theaters nationwide.
