You're not alone if Jessica Biel's Giambattista Valli-crafted gown has you jumping for joy (even Justin Timberlake can't contain his excitement!).

The 30-year-old newlywed glowed in the custom, strapless petal-pink gown of silk mousseline and silk organza, and the actress looks like she couldn't be happier in the picture-perfect wedding pics.

But it wasn't just Jess who was beaming on her big day! The actress is a longtime lover of Valli (she's worn his designs on many a red carpet), and the designer admits he was thrilled to dress Biel for the occasion:  

"When Jessica asked me to design her wedding dress, I was all the more excited. We have been friends for a long time and have followed and supported each other's work though all these years," he said in a statement.

"She has always been a fabulous interpreter of my creations and I was very pleased when she came to me to help her for her nuptials to Justin. And I could not be more proud that she walked down the aisle in Italy, my own country, wearing Giambattista Valli!"

Valli also created Biel's veil, which consisted of heirloom pearls, and all the women in the bridal party wore Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. In addition, Biel rocked four different looks from the designer in the days leading up to the I-dos.

But Valli isn't the only designer basking in the post-wedding bliss. Tom Ford also shared that he was more than honored to dress Mr. Timberlake:

"I adore Justin. He has innate style and enormous talent," the designer told ModaMob. "It was such a pleasure and honor to work with him and his wedding party. I am so happy for both of them."

Aww, so sweet. Congratulations to both famed designers who helped make the day a fashion success!
