Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s wedding weekend is already proving to be every bit as extravagant as fans expected. Ahead of the couple’s massive Madison Square Garden celebration, guests attending Thursday night’s rehearsal dinner reportedly left with a luxurious keepsake that reflected the scale of the highly anticipated event.
According to Page Six, attendees were spotted carrying black velvet boxes embossed with the couple’s initials as they exited the rehearsal festivities. A source told the outlet that each box contained a large champagne flute embellished with real diamonds.
The keepsakes were reportedly packaged with thoughtful details tied to the couple’s love story. Inside the boxes was an image believed to depict the garden featured in Swift and Kelce’s engagement photos, printed on frayed fabric and placed atop a commemorative card.
The presentation was completed with an elegant silver wax seal, adding another personal touch to the already lavish gift.
A-List Celebrities Gathered For The Intimate Celebration
While Friday’s wedding celebration is expected to draw around 1,000 guests, the rehearsal dinner was reportedly a much smaller affair with approximately 100 attendees. Among those spotted arriving for the event were Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, longtime Swift collaborator Jack Antonoff, and Swift’s close friend Ashley Avignone.
Other guests included sports broadcaster Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, Swift’s longtime publicist Tree Paine, childhood best friend Abigail Anderson, Kelce’s manager Amanda Santa, and longtime friend Reggie “Regrunt” King and his wife, Sarah.
Sports commentator Charissa Thompson was also reportedly in attendance.
The Wedding’s Garden Theme Is Taking Over Madison Square Garden
As more details emerge about the highly secretive ceremony, a consistent theme appears to be taking shape. Photos obtained by Page Six showed large floral installations being assembled inside Madison Square Garden ahead of the main event. The arrangements reportedly feature oversized pink and peach blooms mixed with lush greenery, while portions of the arena have been illuminated with pink lighting.
Additional reports claim an area inside the venue has been transformed into a forest-like setting complete with trees and carpeting designed to resemble grass. The decor is said to feature dark green and pink accents throughout, along with white lounge furniture, cocktail tables, bars, and a grand white staircase.

Wedding Vendors Are Already Hinting At Behind-The-Scenes Details
As excitement surrounding the wedding continues to build, several vendors have seemingly suggested they played a role in the couple’s big day.
While the claims have not been independently verified, cake designer Julie Deffense recently shared what appeared to be Swift and Kelce’s wedding cake on Instagram. Deffense, who operates between Portugal and Florida, hinted that the elaborate confection traveled more than 1,200 miles to reach the celebration. Alongside a photo of the towering dessert, she wrote, “A very special cake delivery for a very special couple! Can’t wait to share more soon!”
Meanwhile, confectionery company Sticky Lollies also appeared to reveal its involvement with the wedding by posting photos of custom-made candies allegedly created for the couple’s celebration. In the caption, the company thanked the pair directly, writing, “Wedding custom orders are the best! Being apart of peoples special day is so lovely for us. Thank you to Taylor and Travis for their custom order, hope you have a great love story.”
Sources Claim The Couple Already Made It Official
Although the public ceremony is drawing enormous attention, sources told Page Six that Swift and Kelce have already legally tied the knot ahead of the celebration. The couple’s relationship first became public in 2023, and Kelce reportedly proposed last year after approximately two years of dating.
Now, with thousands of flowers filling Madison Square Garden, diamond-studded gifts in guests’ hands, and some of the biggest names in entertainment preparing to attend, what is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings in recent memory is finally about to take center stage.
