When Melissa Gilbert wed Thirtysomething star Timothy Busfield Wednesday, all eyes were on the beautiful bride — partly because she was glowing with happiness, and partly because her striking red dress commanded attention.

“The dress! It was quite a search,” Gilbert tells PEOPLE. “The moment I saw it, I knew … and the color spoke volumes. Passion, fire, love: Red says all of those things to me.”

The strapless design, featuring a fitted bodice and a softly draped, tiered skirt, was found at Morgane Le Fay in Santa Monica. It offset the Little House on the Prairie star’s fiery red locks.

And now Gilbert loves the dress for more than just its aesthetics: “The dress will always hold our precious, precious memories,” she says.

Before proposing to Alexis Bledel, her Mad Men costar (and now husband-to-be) Vincent Kartheiser once said, “Girls, as much as they are independent, want on a certain level to have certain things.” Well, if Bledel is one of those girls and one of those “certain things” for her was a big, stunning diamond ring, she definitely got what she wanted.

The actress, 31, showed off her dazzling octagonal-shaped diamond, set in what appears to be platinum, for the first time at the premiere of Remembering Sunday in Century City, Calif., Wednesday evening.

The ring has a vintage vibe to it, appropriate considering the couple got to know each other on the set of Mad Men. (Bledel played Beth Dawes, who has an affair with Kartheiser’s character Pete Campbell.)

She debuted her bling with a positively modern Pamella Roland black-and-ivory cutout dress.

It’s the first marriage for both, but it’s not the first time Kartheiser proposed. The actor, 33, admitted he practiced the proposal on costars Elisabeth Moss and Jessica Paré before popping the question on Bledel in March.

“It was purely comedic but he was giving [Elisabeth] and I a facetious rendition of his planned proposal,” Paré told PEOPLE. “We were like, ‘Great! Lets do this one without cursing and without yelling!’”

What do you think of Bledel’s bling?
