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

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.”

Why does People make such a fuss about her wedding? It is her third time walking down the isle. Obviously, marriage has little meaning to her.

I think she was beautiful and the dress is a retro style that is coming back in fashion. The styles of the 60′s and 70′s are all over the runways and the departments stores. She looked lovely and the belt accentuated her baby bump. Way to go Drew!

Does everyone really think that Drew cares what we think about her dress. Honestly it seems that people cant be happy about anything anymore and just have to be hateful and critical. She is several months pregnant so it probably wasnt easy to find the type of dress to wear that all of you were expecting her to wear. I havent even seen the full dress get to even comment but that doesnt matter. She was a radiant bride looking so happy on HER day and I am very happy for her. All the best to you Drew and wishing you a long and happy marriage. Looks like you made a good choice this time.
