Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries $500,000 worth wedding this weekend was truly an event to remember.
Kim, 30, weds New Jersey Nets player Humphries, 26, in a ceremony held on Saturday, August 20, at 11-acre estate in Montecito, California.
Amongst the 440 wedding guests include Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Venus and Serena Williams, Kathy Lee Gifford, Greta Van Sustren, Sugar Ray Leonard and Carmelo Anthony.
The wedding was the first for Kris and the second for Kim, whose 2000 marriage to music producer Damon Thomas ended in divorce in 2004.
Here are some of the exciting and much-awaited details of Kim and Kris wedding:
THE INVITATION
Forget about simple stationery! Kim had her invitations designed by Lehr & Black, the go-to peeps for celebrity unions. The company has also created wedding invites for Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Fergie and Josh Duhamel, and Kim's sister Khloe and Lamar Odom. People reports the fancy-schmancy black-and-white invitation arrived in its own box covered with - get this - jet black hematite crystals. It also specified that guests were to "wear black or white" to the black-tie affair.
THE GUEST LIST
Five hundred were on the guest list, but Life & Style claims that space restrictions being enforced by the fire marshal required Kim to disinvite 50 guests days before the ceremony. Famous faces expected to attend include Demi Lovato - who'll be spending her 19th birthday at the wedding - plus "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" producer Ryan Seacrest, Kris Jenner's friend Kathie Lee Gifford, and Kim's pals Venus and Serena Williams, La La Vazquez, Ciara, Nicole Richie, and Justin Bieber. A-listers Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham also merited an invite. But don't expect to see Kelly Ripa sitting on the bride's side. The talk show host declined, saying she'll be out of town.
THE VENUE
The wedding will take place at an estate near the Four Seasons Resort: The Biltmore in Santa Barbara, where guests will stay. According to Extra, it's a $20 million, Spanish-style mansion that belongs to the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, and once belonged to Ellen DeGeneres. The beautiful home will be adorned with decorations in line with the color scheme of silver, white, and black, including white roses that are reportedly being flown in from Africa.
THE RING
The couple exchanged rings made by Lorraine Schwartz, who also designed Kim's engagement ring.
THE WEDDING DRESSES
The bride, 30, wore an ivory Vera Wang gown with a full tulle skirt, basque waist and hand-pieced Chantilly lace applique on the bodice and train, while the groom, sported a made-to-measure tuxedo with a white jacket and bow tie designed by Ermenegildo Zegna.
THE SCENT
Leave it to Kim to create a limited edition fragrance called Love by Kim Kardashian. Only 1,000 crystal-encrusted bottles of the perfume, which sell for $100 a pop, were made for the occasion. "My fragrance will be a keepsake I can keep for years, and I am excited to be able to share it with my fans," the reality star said.
THE WEDDING PARTY
As you would expect, the brunette beauty's family will be co-starring - make that supporting her - as she says "I do" for the second time. Like Khloe, Kim has asked stepdad Bruce Jenner to walk her down the aisle. Sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie have also revealed that they'll be bridesmaids. Since this will be a TV special, we expect to see other famous faces standing beside the bride and groom, including Kardashian brother, Rob, Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick, and Khloe's husband Lamar Odom. Even little Mason has got a role in the event: the adorable 20-month-old son of Kourtney and Scott will serve as ringbearer.
THE CARS
You didn't expect all those stars to drive themselves to the wedding, did you? TMZ reports that Kim's hired a fleet of white Rolls Royce Phantoms and Maybachs from Platinum Motorsport in L.A., each with a chauffeur, so family and VIP guests can ride in style.
THE FIRST DANCE
At the reception, the newlyweds will perform a dance choreographed by Kim's former "Dancing With the Stars'" partner, Mark Ballas. The song, however, is still a mystery... maybe even to Kim herself! Only two weeks before the wedding, she tweeted out an S.O.S asking for help selecting the all-important tune. While Kim later wrote a thank you to fans for suggestions like "I Will Always Love You," "At Last," and "When a Man Loves a Woman," she hasn't revealed which one she's chosen.
THE CAKE
Once again, Kim followed Khloe's lead and chose a confection from Hansen's Cakes in Los Angeles. She was spotted tasting at the shop with both her groom-to-be and mom Kris Jenner. In the end, the couple chose a 10-tiered white cake with chocolate chip icing and black-and-white decorations, which according to Us Weekly, cost somewhere in the range between $15,000 and $20,000! Kim was reportedly inspired by the dessert served at Prince William and Kate Middleton royal wedding, but this is sure to be the real royal wedding in Hollywood!
THE CEREMONY
A two-part, four-hour wedding special titled "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event" will be aired on Sunday, October 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and on Monday, October 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on E!.
