Jessica Biel: ‘It Took a Leap of Faith’ to Wear a Pink Wedding Dress

We were as surprised as anyone to see Jessica Biel in a pink gown on her wedding day. And as it turns out, the bride herself was a bit surprised about the unconventional choice, too.

“[Giambattista Valli] had created that same fabric in a fuchsia-and-pink combination for a dress in a previous collection,” Biel says in the January issue of ELLE. “And I asked him if he could create that same pattern in a white combination, and he suggested pink.”

The final result was, of course, that now-famous dress: a custom petal-pink strapless gown of silk mousseline and silk organza with a light-pink floral motif. “It was a bit of a leap of faith at the time, but it turned out better than I could have ever imagined,” she admits in the cover story. “[Putting it on], I felt like I had made the right choice. I felt elegant. And it moved like a dream.”

Though Biel was somewhat hesitant to wear a pink gown, she never envisioned herself walking down the aisle in anything particularly traditional, either.

Wait — What Did Jessica Biel Want to Steal from the ‘Hitchcock’ Set?

Her wedding gown was dreamy, pink and modern, but while filming Hitchcock, Jessica Biel found herself taken with her character’s muted — and binding — mid-century costumes.

“I would have stolen that girdle, and pretty much everything that I could have,” the actress joked to PEOPLE at the film’s Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday. “But I literally think that they would have hunted me down.”

In fact, while many actors are free to keep a memento from the project that they have worked on, Biel quickly got the sense that playing Vera Miles would be a labor of love steeped in authenticity — without the benefit of a fashion souvenir.

All About Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s Wedding Rings

When Justin Timberlake proposed to Jessica Biel atop a mountain in Big Sky, Mont., last December, it was a day he’d been planning for quite some time.

The singer-actor worked with Leor Yerushalmi of The Jewelers of Las Vegas to create the perfect, most “personal” engagement ring he could, he tells PEOPLE.

The end result? A stunning 18-karat white gold and black rhodium plated creation. The center stone, a square hearts and arrows diamond, is surrounded by round diamonds and features one aquamarine on each side. They’re a thoughtful addition: aquamarine is Biel’s birthstone.

When it came to designing wedding bands (above) for their Oct. 19 Italian nuptials, the couple turned Yerushalmi yet again and collaborated with the jeweler on complementary designs.

All About Jessica Biel’s ‘Whimsical, Dramatic’ Pink Wedding Gown

When it came to selecting the perfect gown for her Oct. 19 wedding to Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel was a bit overwhelmed.

“It’s so hard to choose the dress,” she tells PEOPLE, which features exclusive photos and details from the couple’s special day in this week’s issue.

To help her along, the bride turned to longtime friend and designer, Giambattista Valli. “I was really comfortable talking to him about something really important like this,” says the actress, 30.

Ultimately, Valli created a custom petal-pink strapless gown of silk mousseline and silk organza with a light-pink floral motif that “was whimsical and dramatic,” says Biel. Her wedding look also included a heartfelt detail: Her floor-length veil was adorned with pearls from her grandmother’s wedding day tiara.

Valli also outfitted Biel’s four bridesmaids along with her mom, Kim, and Timberlake’s mother, Lynn Harless, for the big day.

As the reception rolled on into the wee hours, Biel changed into a silk shantung and macrame lace strapless dress from Valli’s spring collection.

What Do You Think Jessica Biel Wore for Her Wedding?

It’s hard to define Jessica Biel‘s style; she’s one who often takes fashion risks and experiments with looks from a variety of designers. And until we see photos Wednesday, we’re left to imagine what she wore when she tied the knot with Justin Timberlake in Italy on Friday. So we did just that!

Something like Jenny Packham’s plunging (but tasteful) white gown (left) would have given Biel that edge she sometimes goes for, plus femininity in the crystal beading and cut.

On the other hand, this Naeem Khan creation (right) seems made for an Italian wedding, thanks to its romantic Chantilly lace. Biel has shown a fondness for one-shoulder dresses in the past, too.

What do you think? Did Biel go modern or romantic? Or do you think she bucked tradition and opted for something short or colorful instead? Vote in our poll and leave your comments below!
