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.”

Just because Drew Barrymore has a Wedding Dress, does that mean she doesn’t want me? Bruce Wettstein, in Millville, NJ.

She looks absolutely beautiful! So sweet and fresh looking. Wow, congrats the them!!!

A belted is never a good idea for maternity wear – I get the whole illusion it’s trying to create, but it simply draws more attention to the belly.

Empire waistline only please :)

I really had to laugh at the comments regarding the fact that people loved the dress and she had a right to wear whatever she liked . .BUT. . .at least it didn’t look like a “strapless bedsheet” that so many brides are wearing!!! What about their rights? Don’t they get to wear what they want to? It doesn’t have to be Chanel to have personal meaning.

SusiQ, no one is taking away the “right” to wear a strapless gown just because people say they don’t like it. Wow.

I really would have like to see the whole dress, not just the top. Where’s the pictures? I already read this week’s magazine. I did not like what I saw of the dress. Bad neckline with ruffles? She is SO gorgeous, I wish her all the best.

It might not be the most appealing gown, but it is a refreshing change from the strapless ball gowns (think Kim Kardashian, Chelsea Clinton) that have been in vogue. Glad to see a return to modesty (lack of cleavage, sleeves) in wedding dress.
