Blanco shared, “We rented a palm tree farm and converted it into a — we just wanted to do something unconventional and Selena ... She has had a dream for a wedding since she was a kid.”
“She’s like, ‘I want to walk down the aisle and I want the aisle to be, like, Persian rugs off centered. I don’t want normal flowers. I don’t want it to feel bougie,’” the 38-year-old said, before adding, “So it was, like, incredible and you could tell we put so much effort into it, but also didn’t feel, like, stuffy.”
The information was loved by Paltrow, who replied, “I love that. That’s so cool.”

This came after earlier PEOPLE cited an insider who reported that Blanco and Gomez’s wedding was full of love.
“There was so much love in the room. The ceremony moved guests to tears. They wrote their own vows, which were both funny and sentimental,” the tipster stated.
They also added that “at the reception, everyone was letting loose and celebrating them well into the night. The vibe was so much fun,” before claiming the newlyweds were “glowing all night” and “couldn’t stop smiling."

Selena Gomez opened up about her hopes of becoming a mother
Just a day before Blanco’s revelation, Gomez hinted that she would like to become a mother one day.
In September 2024, the ‘Lose You to Love Me’ hitmaker told Vanity Fair, “I haven't ever said this but I unfortunately can't carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby's in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
“It's not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. [But] I'm in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me,” Gomez had added.
