Wildflowers and an Oscar de la Renta gown?

That’s the plan for Jenna Bush’s outdoor wedding Saturday at the family ranch in Crawford, Texas. Jenna, 26, will marry Henry Hager, 30, of Richmond, Va.

The couple chose the relaxed ranch vibe over a formal White House wedding. The last WH wedding was in 1971, when Tricia Nixon married Edward Cox. (Other presidential kids have gotten married but not at the White House.)

Wildflowers at the ranch will be blooming in shades of blue, green and lavender.

Jenna reportedly has 14 bridesmaids; maid of honor will be her twin sister Barbara. There will be about 200 guests. First Lady Laura Bush chose not to hire an event planner.

According to the Associated Press, officials say the family might agree to release a photo or two of the wedding on Sunday.

Meanwhile, actress Scarlett Johansson this week announced her engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds. Stella McCartney has offered to design Scarlett’s dress. Wonder what kind of flowers Scarlett will pick for her wedding? Calla lilies, amaryllis, or maybe burgundy tulips???
