The actress plays a flower shop owner named Lily Bloom in the new romantic drama It Ends With Us, and in an interview for this week’s issue, Lively describes to PEOPLE the best bouquet of flowers she ever received.

“When my husband and I first got together, he would send me a bouquet of flowers every week,” she says, “but he would always send a card and it would just be a sentence of something that had happened that week. Something funny or emotional that one of us said.”

“It was just a little quote of the week,” adds Lively, 36. “It was such a beautiful, romantic thing. Now we have 4,000 children!”
