Lake Como was the destination for Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's Italian wedding on Saturday

British actress Emily Blunt and star of the US version of The Office, John Krasinski, exchanged vows on Saturday in a private open air ceremony held at Lake Como in Italy.

Rumour has it the couple spent the week leading up to the big day holed up in George Clooney’s Italian mansion. The groom and Hollywood heartthrob Clooney are said to be friends after working alongside each other on the movie Leatherhead.

Wedding guests, including George Clooney and girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, were photographed enjoying boat trip up Lake Como before the official ceremony took place.

Sources claim the Young Victoria actress wore a cream Marchesa gown with chiffon, embroidery and a sweetheart neckline for her wedding to Krasinski. The newlyweds were snapped leaving LA airport yesterday after returning home from their secret wedding with the 27-year-old actress sporting an impressive platinum and 3-carat diamond wedding ring.

The pair started dating in 2008 and became engaged last August after the American actor went down on one knee.

Although the couple kept the exact date and location of their wedding tightly under wraps, a US gossip magazine reported that the UK born actress had been spotted dancing the night away in an LA bar surrounded by a gang of girlfriends suggesting she was celebrating her hen do ahead of her impending nuptials.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are said to planning a wedding for May

British actress Emily Blunt is set to marry American actor John Krasinski next month according to recent reports.

Details about the nuptials are sketchy as this couple are famously guarded about their personal life. However a source close to the bride-and groom-to-be has revealed that the big day will take place in either Los Angeles or London and it’s expected to be a big wedding.

The Devil Wears Prada actress became engaged to John, who stars in the US version of The Office, back in August of last year, although the secretive pair refused to reveal any details about the actual proposal. They started dating in November 2008. Previously the 27-year-old actress had been in a long-term relationship with Canadian singer Michael Bublé.

All the major plans are in place for a May wedding with the couple reportedly picking up their wedding bands this week. However one major detail is yet to be finalised.

For any bride, the dress is one of the most important elements. If reports are to be believed, Emily is yet to decide on a wedding gown. The London born actress has reportedly tried on gowns from Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier and is said to be seriously considering a dress from the latter.

With only a matter of weeks left until the rumoured wedding date, the blushing bride had better make her mind up sharpish.
