Blake Lively Channeled This Iconic Rock and Roll Couple for a Key It Ends with Us Wardrobe Moment (Exclusive)

Note: This article contains spoilers for It ends with usin theaters now.

Wedding look of Lily Bloom It ends with us is practically a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but that didn’t stop Blake Lively and costume designer Eric Daman from making sure every last bit was absolutely perfect.

Lily and Ryle (Justin Baldoni) get married somewhat suddenly, and the audience doesn’t actually see the wedding. What they see is a glimpse of the couple in their wedding looks – but only a fleeting glimpse, and then it cuts to a shrug of their wedding photo, and that’s what we’re left with.

Daman knew he only had moments in the film to make an impact – and he did.

“We definitely wanted to lean into unique vintage vibes,” he tells PEOPLE of where the inspiration for Lily’s wedding look began. “I remember texting Blake, asking her, ‘Are you thinking about getting married?’ And she answered: ‘Priscilla’.”

After coming up with a plan, the rest fell into place for Daman. And while he went with Priscilla Presley’s vintage appeal—watching her wedding to Elvis Presley in 1967, as well as other moments from the decade—he found today’s modern pieces to suit his needs.

“We rocked ’60s Priscilla Presley miniskirts with matching coats and embellishments in cream and sherbet pastel shades,” she says. “We opted for this ultimate super chic number from Happy Isles, paired with clear pearl beaded gloves from Anthropologie, Blake’s personal Louboutins and her jewels. We paired two vintage veils from 1stDibs and voilà Lily Bloom wedding dress was born!”

Aside from the brief wedding scene, Lively also wore several of her pieces elsewhere in the film. Daman was in awe of the star’s taste, especially when it came to her jewelry. He told PEOPLE it was a real treat to rummage through her shoe closet and have access to her treasure trove of jewels.

“Blake brought her own jewelry, her Lorraine Schwartz jewelry,” he said. “I didn’t have the budget for it. She has amazing taste and amazing things.”

Lively would bring her jewelry box to the set, Daman said, and they would go through it together to decide which pieces might work for each scene and each outfit he chose for Lily to wear in the film.

“A lot of the jewelry was from her personal collection,” he said, noting that the pieces are scattered throughout the film and complement other jewelry he chose besides her own. “She would bring in her beautiful little jewelry box in her purse and say, ‘What do you think of this?’ I’m like, I can’t really speak You open up [the jewelry box] and it’s like the holy grail. How many pieces of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds are inside? And why are you just carrying it in your bag? It’s so great.”

Lively previously revealed to PEOPLE that she scoured her husband Ryan Reynolds’ closet for a few pieces she brought on set, as well as her best friend Gigi Hadid’s.

Daman tapped into the sharing-is-caring philosophy that Lively’s friends and family have adopted for the film, saying, “Gigi sent us loads of amazing stuff from her Guest in Residence collection that we featured in a few looks. And we see Ryan’s plaid vest at the Lily Bloom store. It all adds such a personal touch to the character that Blake is so open and willing to share her (and her husband’s and her best friend’s!) clothes. I’m really grateful.”
