Riley Keough and Ben Smith-Petersen married in a very intimate Napa Valley, Calif., ceremony and reception, but now we are finally getting some details about her small, but star-studded affair!

Elvis Presley's granddaughter opened up to Hello! magazine, and revealed that her wedding mainly remained a family affair. Her brother, Ben Keough, was one of the groomsmen while her 6-year-old twin sisters, Finley and Harper, served as flower girls. While a small event, Keough's special day did include a few A-listers, including John Travolta, Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne and Zoë Kravitz. Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson served as one of the bridesmaids.

"It was the most beautiful, amazing, fun day and night," Riley told the magazine. "It was every single person I love in one place. I didn't want it to end."

Her now-husband added, "I'd say it was the best day of my life. I don't want to be cliché, but it was. I wouldn't change anything."

Awww!

Except there might have been one minor change that they wish they could have made: Riley's dog misbehaving! Her French bulldog, Grubs, was slated to be part of the ceremony, but he got a little too out of control and was fired from his position LOL!

"[He] ended up misbehaving during the wedding rehearsal so we had to tell him he couldn't be the ring dog any more, sadly," Riley said. "He was very naughty."

As for the white dress? The Magic Mike actress donned a full-length and fitted Delphine Manivet gown.

"I wanted the dress to be simple and long sleeved and made of lace," she explained. "Delphine made exactly what I wanted. I'm not very flashy, I wanted it to be very simple."

But her "simple" tastes won't be translating to their upcoming honeymoon! While they haven't officially decided where they're going to vacation, she did dish that they want to go somewhere they both have "never been before."

"We were thinking we might also trek to Everest Base Camp and go to Tibet and maybe back to Nepal. Or maybe not. Maybe somewhere warm and beachy," she mused.

Sounds pretty exotic!
