Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's Wedding: All the Details!

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are officially husband-and-wife!

"It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends," the couple told People.

The Trouble With the Curve star, 31, and his longtime love, 30, were wed on Oct. 19 in Puglia, Italy. A source revealed to The New York Post that "it's a location that is very special to them"—according to reports, Biel and Timberlake attended the 2008 nuptials of Beverly Mitchell (Biel's former co-star on "7th Heaven"), in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast, which isn't too far away.

Several hundred guests flew to Italy to celebrate the couple's nuptials at Borgo Egnazia, an ultra-luxurious hotel that's set against a stunning backdrop of the Adriatic Sea and surrounded by fragrant prickly pear and lavender. Il Giornale di Puglia, an Italian newspaper, originally reported that Lady Gaga and Elton John were in attendance, but the stars' reps have since denied those claims. Confirmed guests included Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg, Jimmy Fallon, and music producer Timbaland.

The Anti-Bride's Bridal Shower

Bridal shower – accomplished! Even though my wedding is more than three months away, I knew I wouldn’t be able to get down to San Diego until just before the big day. So, my mom and one of her closest friends planned a beautiful shower in my honor.

1. Don’t feel like you have to look a certain way.
The only work I had to do was finding the perfect outfit. I wanted to look a bit traditional by wearing white, but I also wanted to mix it up and keep it fun. My dress came with black ribbon straps and an exposed back zipper, so I added a black velvet belt with an edgy rhinestone applique to make an even bigger contrast against the white lace. The goal was sassy, and I’m pretty sure I achieved it. If white isn’t your thing, wear what is. You don’t want to spend the event fussing with straps or feeling self-conscious, so forget any “rules” and wear what makes you feel good.

Calendar Charms: A Day to Remember

Here’s a unique and meaningful way to cherish your special day: a pretty handcrafted silver-plated calendar bracelet ($70) with a Swarovski crystal marking your wedding date. This “Not Just Any Old Day” bracelet is available at their website, notjustanyoldday.com:

The creator, Michele Esposito, recalled how her grandmother always cherished a necklace made by Michele’s grandfather, a jeweler, which noted their wedding anniversary. His sentimental gesture inspired Michele to create the charm when she was looking for a unique gift. The bracelet is not only a great item for yourself but also for your bridesmaids (you can mark either their birthdays or their own wedding dates).

Another cool piece is the Calendar Key ($80). Actor Antonio Sabato Jr.’s bride fastened the key to her bouquet.

Tip of the Day: Create sweet and personalized bridal shower décor, like this fun entryway sign that says how many days are left until the wedding. Coordinate it with stripes, chevrons, geometrics, or vivid colors to make a bold first impression on your guests.

When purchasing paper for DIY projects, be aware that regular card stock (including colored paper for laser printers) absorbs less ink than thicker, softer papers. Using the correct paper will stretch your ink cartridges and help them work far longer, costing you less!

Get the Look: Sleek Updos Spotted at Romona Keveza

Shimmering gowns and golden hues dominated the runway at Romona Keveza's 2013 show, dedicated to Bond girls. With such showstopping gowns dazzling down the runway, the Kérastase Paris design team opted to keep the hair sleek and chic.

Here, learn how to get the look:

Step 1: On clean, dry hair spray a generous amount of Lotion Densitive GL Spray. Then apply Mousse Substantive directly on the roots. Blow dry smooth and straight using a boar bristle brush.

Step 2: Create a deep side part over the left eye — the further over the side part, the more dramatic of a swoop you’ll create at the fringe. Then clip that hair out of the way. Just make sure you take out enough hair so the fringe is solid and doesn’t separate when swooped.

David Tutera Reveals His Wedding-Planning Fee

David Tutera stopped by Z100, New York's hit music station, this morning to chat about — what else? — weddings! Here, five things we learned from the show:

1. Want to have David personally plan your wedding? It'll cost you $50,000.
"To hire me is, yes, expensive, but to hire my company is a lot less expensive," said Tutera. "I personally get involved in about six to 12 weddings a year. My staff does many more weddings all over the country and the world with my name on them."

"They’re trained by me. I’m very involved with my clients that I’m working with, but not hands-on with every step of it on unless you personally hire me. We can run anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000 to be your wedding planner. For me personally, it’s much more."

"I don't get percentages... we’re not like interior decorators. My fee remains the same whether you spend a dollar or 10 million."
