"Thank you guys for all the sweet messages," Conrad added. "It means so much to me : ) Feel like the luckiest girl in the world!"
Furthermore, an update on her blog revealed a deluge of fans' messages.
"William and I are overwhelmed by all of your warm wishes," Conrad posted. "Thank you so much for sharing in this special moment : )"
Conrad, native to Orange County, Calif., is best known for starring on MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" and later "The Hills."
In a recent interview with Marie Claire, the best-selling author opened up about her romance with Tell, explaining that her relationship with the musician-turned-law-student is based on key similarities.
"He is very good for me because we have a lot in common as far as where we grew up," said Conrad speaking to Marie Claire. "It's the first time I'm with someone and I'm not explaining things."
Conrad's reality television star persona also relates to Tell, who encountered fame after playing in the band Something Corporate.
"He understands a lot of things that people don't always get," said the "L.A. Candy" writer.
Meanwhile, Conrad has penned "The Fame Game" trilogy books and made a career in fashion- she owns both LC Lauren Conrad and Paper Crown fashion lines.
The fashion mogul recently splashed a cool $3.74 million on her new home with Tell, according to TMZ. The new 4,300 square-foot home boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms in addition to a remodeled kitchen and an expansive back yard complete with a basketball court, reported the gossip website.
"They are really excited they took this step," an insider told Us Weekly at the time of the purchase. "William knows he wants to marry Lauren."
