Many brides wear an updo for their big day because it allows the dress to really take center stage. But Courtney Mazza did so for an unexpected (and sentimental) reason when she tied the knot outdoors with Mario Lopez in Punta Mita, Mexico on Saturday.

“It was very important that [Courtney] had her hair up because Mario loves her hair pulled back,” Mazza’s hair stylist, Marc Mena, tells PEOPLE. “He met her with short hair, so he loves her having hair away from her face … And when I saw Mario right after the wedding, he told me, ‘I never thought you could make my wife look even more beautiful than she did that day.’”

Mazza donned a side-parted low chignon, inspired by old Mexican actresses, with a custom Ines Di Santo gown, but Mena (who also did the couple’s daughter Gia’s flower girl ‘do) notes that Lopez wasn’t the only one who loved the bride’s look. “Her mother was in awe — and just by the look of her mother’s eyes Courtney knew it was spectacular,” Mena says of the sweet moment that happened before Mazza took a look in the mirror. “And once [Courtney] saw it, she said, ‘This is exactly how I pictured myself to look on the day of my wedding.’”

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds opted for an intimate, rustic wedding in Charleston last Sunday — and the bride’s look echoed that vibe.

“She looked very natural,” a source tells PEOPLE. “Her hair was mostly down, but some of it was swept up. She didn’t wear a veil. She wore natural makeup; her skin was flawless. It was a clean look, very fresh.”

Lively selected a custom Marchesa ball gown for her big day, pairing the embroidered silk tulle creation with Christian Louboutin shoes (the designer is a close friend of the actress). “Her dress was simple yet beautiful, slightly off-white, no big bows, no train,” the source adds.

Her jewels were equally understated. “She didn’t wear anything gaudy; no big jewelry,” the source continues. “She had small earrings, and I believe a very delicate necklace, but nothing really prominent.”

After saying their vows, with a promise to “support and love each other and to make each other laugh,” the couple exchanged rings by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

Greeting family and friends after the ceremony, held at the historic Boone Hall Plantation, the young bride truly did glow. According to the source, “She looked wonderful.” For more on Lively and Reynolds’s wedding, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now.

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.

Some of the most memorable star weddings in the last 10 years — Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie, Fergie and Josh Duhamel — have been the work of Mindy Weiss’s event-planning genius, but those weddings don’t come easy (or cheap!). Fortunately for the rest of us non-celebrity brides, Weiss teamed up with David’s Bridal to help launch her brand-new ultimate wedding planning binder, and to share star-tested tips on where to spend and save on a wedding.

“Even celebrities have budgets,” Weiss tells PEOPLE. “When we wipe away the idea of, ‘Oh my God, they’re celebrities,’ they’re these little girls who grew up dreaming about their wedding. They ask me the same questions as other brides — and I swear to you, they fill out that book!” Her advice to all brides (famous or not) is to pick the location first. “Once you have the location and the date, it’s like a domino — it sort of goes. We take a deep breath, figure out the budget and then go forward.”

Kim Kardashian’s Something New: Her Custom Leiber Wedding Bags

Style maven that she is, newlywed Kim Kardashian couldn’t go bag-less on her big day. And with an over-the-top glam celebration, it was only fitting that her purse kept with the theme. So Judith Leiber, known for her creative crystal evening clutches, designed custom bags for the whole Kardashian clan.

“They were incredible,” Kardashian tells PEOPLE. The design process began with a call between the Leiber team and the mother of the bride, Kris Jenner, who shared her thoughts on color scheme and the overall look and feel to the custom bags.

Leiber decided to begin by updating the Judith Leiber crystal monogram bag with classic block letters (Kim’s read “kHk”) and a contrast border at the edge of each bag, punctuated by large square crystal at each corner to accent the clean graphic lettering.

When Kim Kardashian walked down the aisle toward her NBA-player husband-to-be, Kris Humphries, she was part princess, part old Hollywood in her custom Vera Wang gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. “Every girl feels like a princess on her wedding day,” Kardashian tells PEOPLE.

But it wasn’t until her hair and makeup were complete that the bride truly felt ready to meet her prince charming at the end of the aisle.

“We wanted to make her an amazing movie star from the ’40s, ’50s, ’60s; like Sophia Loren or Ava Gardner or Elizabeth Taylor,” says Peter Savic, who created Kardashian’s intricate chignon. “She looked very polished. It was classic and tasteful yet exotic.” While Savic had seen the main gown — and he and Kardashian had traded ideas — the two didn’t have any trials. “I just created it that day,” he says.

For his part, makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic carried the princess vibe into Kardashian’s cosmetics. “She wanted to look like the most polished and beautiful version of herself,” he says. To prep her skin he used moisturizer by La Mer and By Terry Touche Veloutee concealer under her eyes, giving her a fresh-faced look. Ensuring things stayed put during the long day, Dedivanovic set her makeup with Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre Natural Finish loose powder.
