The wedding bouquet from Taylor Swift's marriage to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has found its way into the hands of Ashley Smith, sister of Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith, who attended the high-profile ceremony at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3.
Ashley Smith announced the fortunate catch via Instagram on Sunday, July 5, sharing a carousel of images documenting her experience at the New York City wedding. The post featured photographs of the elegant bouquet, composed of blush pink and cream-toned blooms accented with delicate greenery and secured with white ribbon.
"Celebrated an Enchanting Love S(T&T)ory," Smith wrote in her Instagram caption, according to Us Weekly. "And somehow … I ended up catching Tay Tay's bouquet."
The social media post included a selfie showing Smith reclining on a white bed while holding the bouquet, still wearing the strapless jeweled black gown she had donned for the ceremony. Smith reflected on the traditional wedding custom with optimism about her own romantic future.
"Here's to believing it's bringing a lifetime of love, luck, and laughter my way," Smith continued in her caption, per Us Weekly. "Congratulations, Taylor & Travis! Cheers to forever T&T!"
The connection between the Smith family and the newlyweds extends beyond the football field. Trey Smith, 27, and Kelce, 36, maintain a close friendship in addition to their professional relationship as teammates on the Chiefs. Trey Smith appeared on Kelce's podcast, "New Heights," in June 2025, demonstrating the personal bond between the two players.
Ashley Smith's professional ties to the National Football League add another layer to the connection. According to her LinkedIn profile, she works as a manager in Player Engagement for the NFL, positioning her within the broader professional football community that brought the couple together.
The Instagram post also revealed details about the wedding favors distributed to guests. Smith photographed one of the couple's gifted white lace wedding handkerchiefs, which featured an embroidered line from Swift's song "Blank Space": "So it's gonna be forever." The linen keepsake included the wedding date and city stitched into the fabric, along with an intertwined "TT" monogram surrounded by hearts—the same design that appeared on gift boxes from the rehearsal dinner.
Additional photographs in Smith's carousel captured her smiling alongside her brother before departing for the event, offering a glimpse into the pre-ceremony preparations for wedding guests.
While official photographs from the ceremony have not yet been publicly released, multiple celebrity attendees have shared their reactions to the celebration. Country music artist Kelsea Ballerini wrote on Instagram that she was "still crying and dancing" following what she described as "the most beautiful wedding," according to Us Weekly. Swift's Aunt Robin told LBC News that the ceremony was filled with emotion, stating that the couple and guests "cried and they laughed and they danced and they hugged and they kissed."
The wedding of Swift, 36, and Kelce concluded with a modern flourish as digital billboards outside Madison Square Garden displayed the message "JustT&T Married" immediately following the ceremony, marking the union of one of professional sports' most prominent couples.
