Derek & Hayley got married in Monterey County, California, on Saturday in front of 106 guests. Mark Ballas was Derek's best man.
"We're in a redwood forest, but we got married right in front of this mother tree that's surrounded by all these smaller trees," Erbert tells PEOPLE. "They drop all the seeds, and it plants kind of like an army of children to protect the mother. The symbolism of it was beautiful. We're here, planting our seeds to grow our family."
During their emotional nuptials, the bride and groom exchanged both personal and traditional vows, as Hough's brother-in-law officiated the ceremony. Erbert wore a custom duchess satin gown, designed by Georgina Chapman from Marchesa, which she paired with a long veil, blusher and jewelry by Ring Concierge. "It's all very just classic, timeless," says Erbert of her dress. Hough wore a suit by Tom Ford for the ceremony and Brooks Brothers for the reception.
They will be honeymooning in Italy, hitting everywhere from Lake Como, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Rome, Tuscany, Florence.
