Get a Close-Up Look at Olivia Flowers' "Dream Ring" from Fiancé Alex Williams
Southern Charm's Olivia Flowers just got engaged to Alex Williams on September 25 in New York City. More recently, she shared a new look at the stunning diamond engagement ring her now-fiancé gifted her during the proposal.
In an October 5 Instagram Story, Olivia revealed a close-up look at her gorgeous ring from Nicole Rose Jewelry. "Nicole, I'm glad you had a feeling this proposal was coming before I did," Olivia wrote over a snap of the oval-shaped diamond set on a yellow gold band. "[T]hank you for creating our dream ring."
The ring, which Alex told PEOPLE on October 3 was a "classic, simple, and elegant" find, features a 4-carat diamond on an 18k yellow gold band. See the jaw-dropping details of the ring in the photo below:
When Alex popped the question at JW Marriott Essex House in Manhattan, he made sure Olivia's friends and family were included.
"Olivia has such an incredible group of friends, from elementary school through to college, and she's very close with her parents, so I knew involving them somehow would mean a lot to her," Alex shared with
Olivia Flowers' Engagement Celebration
Following the proposal, Olivia took to her Instagram Stories to reveal how she and her closest pals and family members were continuing to celebrate the special moment in the week that followed.
A celebration took place at Supperland in Charlotte, North Carolina, with several photos of the proposal on display.
Friends and family enjoyed dinner and delicious-looking cocktails while Olivia and Alex looked as happy as ever to celebrate their future nuptials.
Additionally, Alex gifted Olivia with several Ring Pops — apparently for a special reason. "Funny back story on the Ring Pops," Olivia shared in an Instagram Video. "I told him a very long time ago if anyone ever proposed to me I wanted Ring Pops and that's how we ended up here!"
How Did Olivia Flowers' Fiancé Alex Williams Propose?
In the aforementioned interview with PEOPLE, Alex shared that he agreed with Olivia's mom Robin's idea of proposing to Olivia while they were all in New York City. Once that plan was set, he then enlisted Olivia's social media manager to tell Olivia she was doing a photo shoot for the hotel.
Once the infleuncer got to an outdoor area of the hotel suite, however, Olivia was happily surprised when Alex got down on one knee.
"Next thing I know, Alex is...grabbing a box out of his sports coat and dropping a knee... then I drop my phone," Olivia shared with the outlet. "Alex said, 'Olivia Barbara Ellen Flowers. You're the girl of my dreams. Became the love of my life. And I’d like to ask, Will you marry me?'"

Key Takeaways
- Deke is back in Los Angeles, and he’s finally reuniting with his sister, Hope.
- He’s been keeping many secrets in his life, including his relationship with Remy.
- Hope wants Deke to work as the lead designer for Hope for the Future, as she no longer collaborates with Zende or Thomas.
- Deke was seen doing something shady behind his sister’s back.
Sibling Solidarity or Sibling Rivalry?
Deke (Harrison Cone) gave Hope (Annika Noelle) some brutally honest advice about her personal style. Even though she’s known for her boho-chic style, he wants her to step outside her comfort zone.
She’s been doing that a lot, personally. Why not express that professionally? Hope’s love life has been all over the place lately.
Her heart is now aligned with Liam (Scott Clifton), who had been hoping to win her back. However, the exes reunited for the sake of their daughter, Beth, which is messy in itself.
Deke believes Hope’s collection should reflect her growth and maturity. She went outside her comfort zone when she collaborated with Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), both personally and professionally.
But now, he’s no longer the lead designer. Plus, it would be awkward for them to work together again. There’s also the issue of his traveling back and forth from Paris. So, she’s kind of stuck on what direction to take her line.
Hope would like her brother to become the new lead designer now that he has just graduated from design school. She’s already put in a good word with her mom.
But she’s not noticing the red flags with her brother. He’s hiding a lot of things in his own personal life. Hope told Deke that she’s happy about him living with someone. However, he won’t name the person. He kept trying to shift the conversation back to her line.
Fashion Family Wars?
Deke offered more of his input on the sketches displayed on the table. He told Hope that he was excited about working in fashion design. (See why B&B fans are confused that Deke is Hope’s younger brother.)
Deke wanted to start working at FC as soon as yesterday. He’s been itching to get his way into the “family business,” but how far will he go? And does he have nefarious intentions?
Once Hope left the room, Deke pulled out his phone and took several photos of the designs. He then sifted through the designs to ensure he had everything he needed.
What is Deke up to? Is he planning on stealing his sister’s designs? Or does he want to tweak them and add them to his portfolio so he gets into Forrester Creations?
