"It was the second gown I tried on," Jessa tells PEOPLE of her blush cap-sleeve A-line Allure Bridal creation, featuring a beaded bodice of Swarovski crystals and pearls. The bride removed a few layers of tulle until it was just right. "I love it," she says.

Following the nuptials – which included a smooch from Jessa's parents Jim Bob and Michelle, since the bride and groom chose to keep their first kiss private – the newlyweds pose with their extensive wedding party of friends and family (Jessa's sister Jinger, 20, served as maid of honor).

The couple heads from the ceremony to the reception amid a barrage of bubbles (more than 1,000 people attended the nuptials, including Kirk Cameron). The party featured ice cream sundaes ("I don't really like cake," Jessa explains), and at the end of the night, the lovebirds left via horse-drawn carriage.
