Drew Barrymore’s ‘Beautiful’ Wedding Dress: All the Details

06/08/2012 at 09:00 AM ET

Drew Barrymore Wedding

When your father-in-law-to-be is the former CEO of Chanel — and when your name is Drew Barrymore — commissioning a wedding dress is fairly easy. So on her big day, Barrymore wore a custom muslin and organza gown designed by Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld, tailored just for her during fittings in Paris and Los Angeles.

“I think she looked beautiful and it fit her strong personality,” Lagerfeld told InStyle.com of the dress this week.

Barrymore customized her gown — which featured a skirt embroidered with tulle flowers and feathers — with a black satin belt. “She wanted that,” Lagerfeld added to InStyle.com. “I loved it. I love her.”

The mom-to-be accessorized her look with Chanel fine jewelry, including the diamond and white-gold “Fil de Camelia” earrings and a vintage “Eventail” cuff, which included more than 14 carats of black and white diamonds.

Her veil was special, too; the bride spent quite a while searching for the perfect topper. “She wanted something traditional,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. “Even though there are things about her that are very modern, it’s an old-world tradition she wanted to have.”

When the weather turned chilly during the reception (the festivities lasted until 1:30 a.m.!) Barrymore covered up with a black tweed Chanel jacket. And throughout the evening, she kept a smile on her face; a friend tells PEOPLE the bride “was radiant” on her big day, adding that she “looked gorgeous, completely relaxed and beautiful.”

The dress is a disaster,anyone saying otherwise is blind!

People … it’s her wedding dress!!! It was her day!!! Think how happy she must have felt when she found the dress; for her to have that special moment. Wouldn’t we all love to wear a Chanel gown? Tradition and history from a designer house! What a gift. Obviously that dress meant something to her, something to be treasured and she probably felt so happy with her dress and in love. Blessings to them!

You can’t see the whole dress and how on earth can you say people who don’t hate it are blind? It’s a matter of opinon and a lot of us can appreciate original, fashion forward designs. I agree with the post saying it’s far better than the cliche strapless ballgown that a good 70% of brides wear these days. She loved the dress, it was her big day, that’s really all that matters. Constant negativity is so off putting.

I love Drew and anything she wants to wear is fine with me, as it is HER DRESS, nobody else has to wear it.
I wish her so much happiness !

Drew liked her dress and that’s all that matters. I knew it was a Chanel before even reading about it.
It is elegant, classic and timeless. At least she didn’t wear a strapless bed sheet like so many brides.

The dress isn’t something I would have chosen, but she’s happy and that’s all that matters.

She looks so cute there. Love the veil.
