Darcey Silva and Georgi Rusev had a wedding to remember!

The 90 Day Fiancé stars tied the knot in a secret ceremony in November, and now they're sharing all the dreamy details of their big day exclusively with PEOPLE — beginning with the touching symbolism behind their wedding date.

"We envisioned a beautiful 11/11 wedding date because the number 11 is close to our hearts. It’s a manifesting number and at 11:11 on the clock we always make a wish," Silva, 49, explains, adding that the number also has a special connection to her late brother, who died from cancer in 1998.

"It was also in honor of my brother Michael, just like our fashion brand House of Eleven and our first company Eleventh Entertainment. We wanted the date close to our hearts," she says.

The couple held their intimate wedding — only 15 guests were in attendance — at Silva's father's Connecticut estate, With the help of B'Dazzled Events, they filled the residence with candles and white flower arrangements throughout, including on the grand staircase.

"Where we said our I dos, it was stunning and breathtaking. You felt like you were in Tuscany," Silva recalls.

She and Rusev exchanged traditional vows during a ceremony officiated by a close family friend, Amos Jones. "It had a spiritual and heartfelt feeling to it. It was very touching and emotional," Silva says.

The bride walked down the aisle in a custom-made couture Katerina Bocci gown which Silva describes as "the most amazing and gorgeous dress I have ever seen." The corseted, mermaid-style look was detailed with pearl and crystal embellishments arranged in intricate patterns down the front.

Silva says Bocci — an Albanian-American designer who has dressed celebrities including Fergie and Jordin Sparks — is "like family" and created the dress of her dreams, as well as her identical twin sister Stacey Silva's maid-of-honor look, a dramatic red silk design with kimono sleeves.

The sisters accessorized their wedding-day looks with crystal headpieces by Leila Gjurashaj. "We felt like true princesses!" Darcey gushes.

Darcey and Rusev's wedding was captured by world-renowned photographer Fadil Berisha. "We are so blessed and grateful he did our wedding photo shoot," she says. "The pictures are remarkable and will be memories we all have for a lifetime."

Darcey first shared her surprise wedding news in November in a joint Instagram post with TLC. “I’m thrilled to share that Georgi and I got married on our special day of November 11th. I’ve been on a long journey to find love, and in the end, love wins," she wrote at the time, seemingly making a nod to the couple's rocky road to the altar, which included two called-off engagements.

"I’m so blessed for you all to be a part of my journey in life, love, and happiness," she added. "Thank you for all the love and support!"

Now, months after their nuptials, Darcey and Rusev are happily diving into their "next chapter," which Darcey says will be "filled with lots of love and amazing new opportunities, journeys and experiences."

And it seems she and her husband may be saying "I do" all over again in the near future. "We hope to all go to Europe and have a bigger, fairytale-dream-come-true-type wedding ceremony and vow renewals for both Stacey and I with Georgi and Florian [Stacey's husband]," she reveals. "We would love both sides of the families to be a part of it."
