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.”

We don’t have a say in what kind of wedding dress she wanted for her wedding day. Drew looks absolutely lovely in this wedding dress she picked out. It is different and not the flowy, lacy, satiny traditional wedding gown that everyone is used to seeing. I think she looks lovely and it is a different kind of dress and who says she has to look like everyone else? Congratulations on your marriage and all the best to you!

I am so happy for Drew. I hope her third marriage is the charm and that she lives happily ever after! Personally, I think the dress doesn’t do her one moment of justice. It is very dowdy.

If Drew had her dress custom-designed – and, thank goodness for once lost the strapless bare-shoulders look that hopefully will fade from popularity soon – good for her. It’s what she wanted and she didn’t have to settle for “it’s what’s IN now” that you get at bridal salons. Congratulations, Drew. Hope your happiest days are still ahead of you.

How sad. A beautiful girl. It’s just a day in the life, but what a sad dress. The marriage is what counts.

It’s so sweet how happy she looks in the picture :)

Best of luck to the couple!

FINALLY, a celebrity who ACTUALLY GOT MARRIED!!! Most get pregnant, then engaged and NEVER walk down the isle. It’s very sad for the kids. If you’re going to have babies…COMMIT! Good for Drew and her new hubby AND most of all, their new baby!
