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

Its so hard to choose the dress, she tells PEOPLE, which features exclusive photos and details from the couples special day in this weeks 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 grandmothers wedding day tiara.

Valli also outfitted Biels four bridesmaids along with her mom, Kim, and Timberakes 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 Vallis spring collection.
