Taylor Lautnerjust wants to be able to dance!
The actor, whomarried his longtime love Taylor Dome on Nov. 11, had his black velvet wedding reception suit specifically designed so he could truly show off his moves on the dance floor.
“Tay and I had discussed doing a fun party-look change for wedding day, but the final straw for me personally was a couple months ago we attended our friend’s wedding and at the dance party portion I busted out some flips and splits and ended up absolutely shredding my suit pants. And I was so upset because I loved that suit,” Lautner, 30, tells PEOPLE.
“So I was like, ‘Alright, we’re definitely doing a change because I don’t want to split my Dolce & Gabbana suit!'” he adds.

Lautner wanted his pants to give him the freedom “to do splits or flips” on his wedding night, which is where the velvet came in. TheTwilightalum tells PEOPLE that D&G “drew up a couple options,” but the velvet ones he picked were his “favorite.”
“It came together perfectly!” he says.
“I was so excited that [Dolce & Gabbana] wanted to work with me and create something custom for me,” he tells PEOPLE. “We just wanted a dark, sexy, classic suit for the ceremony and that just screamed Dolce. They just knocked it out of the park. I’m so thankful for them.”
Dome also wore a couple different dresses for her big day, including a Winnie Couture gown for the ceremony and a Retrofete dress for the reception. Her outfit change had similar reasoning for her new husband’s: She also wanted comfort!
“I always knew I wanted an outfit change because I needed something I could break it down on the dance floor in,” she tells PEOPLE of her more casual dress and sneakers look.
“Everything felt so surreal,” says Dome, 25. “The flowers, the vines, the sky. We were both very involved in the process so we had high expectations, but it exceeded them for sure.”
The couple, whostarted dating in 2018after meeting through Lautner’s sister Makena, did a “first look” before walking down the aisle so Lautner could see his bride before everyone else.

“Wedid a first look [before the ceremony]because I knew if the first time I saw her was when she was walking down the aisle, I would have lost it,” the actor tells PEOPLE. “I was surprisingly more composed than I thought I would be. But it was still tough to hold it together!”
“We’re big foodies — and winos!” says Dome with a laugh. Adds Lautner: “We just wanted the day to feel celebratory, no pressure or anxiety. Everybody there meant so much to us and we wanted all of them to be part of the day.”
