In the new comedy, I Love You, Man, Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) becomes engaged to his girlfriend, Zooey (Rashida Jones) only to realize that he doesn’t have a male friend close enough to act as his best man. You’ll have to wait until the movie opens on March 20th to watch Peter’s hilarious quest to find a best friend—complete with “man-dates”, poker and comical male bonding—but if you’re wondering what his wedding looks like, you’re in luck. We have an exclusive preview of all the style and fashion details from his beautiful white- and yellow-themed celebration.
And as a special bonus, we showed the photos to Erin Rosenow of Rosenow Floral Design in San Francisco, who gave us her best tips for recreating the bouquets, boutonnieres and floral decorations. —Kathryn Papanek

Peter’s fun-loving friend Sydney Fife (Jason Segel), in a classic suit by John Varvatos, chats with a bridesmaid at the reception. The all-yellow calla lilies centerpiece is simple but not plain; the bright green stems add a colorful touch. For a different take on this style, Rosenow suggests varying the heights of these arrangements so that "some of the stems would appear longer and more interesting."
