We “like” this! While Mark Zuckerberg was taking his company public on Friday, his then-bride-to-be, Priscilla Chan, was quietly putting the final touches on her wedding gown.

For her surprise Saturday nuptials, Chan wore designer Claire Pettibone’s “Sky Between the Branches” gown, an ivory laser-cut floral dress adorned with matte sequins lined in silk. The gown featured subtle cutouts in the overlay, plus an illusion jewel neckline, sheer back and chapel-length train. The dress retails for $4,700 and is available on Pettibone’s website.

“She wore it with such grace,” Pettibone tells PEOPLE of Chan. “Her gown seems to perfectly capture her personality — understated and elegant with a touch of sparkle. It’s a perfect blend of femininity and fashion.”

Pettibone, a Los Angeles-based designer, has also created wedding gowns for stars like Mad Men‘s Elisabeth Moss and American Idol‘s Tamyra Gray, and even designed a bridesmaid dress worn by Cameron Diaz.

Zuckerberg and Chan married in a small ceremony in their Palo Alto, Calif., backyard on Saturday. Guests thought they were coming over for a surprise party to celebrate Chan’s graduation from medical school, however, the couple had been planning the wedding for more than four months.

Rich but do everything in a modest way. Very classy. That what most educate people do. Watch that Kim K or other outrageous fake personnel Hollywood ‘stars – flashlights’ ladies.

He looks like a slob. Her dress is just ok. Would have expected more from uber wealthy people.

Totally agree with Denise! So many assume that the dress has to be strapless when other looks may suit them better.

Priscilla looks lovely and classy here. Wishing them the best.

The worlds youngest billionaire has a backyard wedding. That’s what I call a smart man, and that makes me respect them both that much more. People should learn from them.
