Kim Kardashian - Kris Humphries Wedding Details



Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries wedding on Saturday, August 20, is going to be an event to remember.



Access Hollywood reports that in Montecito, California, where the wedding ceremony will be taking place, the not-so-secret nuptials are being referred to as "Project W." Still, in an attempt to protect Kim and Kris' privacy, the wedding planner sent out requests to nearby residents asking them to cover up their address numbers.



Ironically, no one has leaked as many details as the bride-to-be herself, with the help of her Twitter account and blog, plus indirectly through tons of paparazzi shots that show her looking fab while running pre-wedding errands. Reality star Kim, has let everything slip from her wedding dress designer to the scent she'll wear as she weds NBA player Kris, 26.



Here are some of the exciting and much-awaited details of the big day:





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 DRESS



Ah, the piece de resistance! It's no surprise here that Kim entrusted family friend and wedding dress designer to the stars, Vera Wang, with her gown. "When it came to picking my wedding dress designer she was the first person I thought of," Kim blogged. "No one designs gowns the way she does!" Photographers snapped Kim's famous curves heading into fittings, and she confessed to spending 11 hours flying for a three hours in one last fitting with Vera in NYC about a week before her wedding. Because of the request that guests wear black or white - the latter of which is usually a fashion faux pas at weddings - there's been speculation that Kim's dress will be an attention-grabbing color. Kourtney Kardashian confused us more when she tweeted the bridesmaids dresses would be green.



Tyra Banks claims to have seen photos of the finished product - and the "America's Next Top Model" creator approves. "What she showed me was so beautiful," Banks told People. "It's interesting because they were pictures from a fitting, but it actually looked like the wedding, like her hair was done. So it was like a real almost dress rehearsal and she looked absolutely beautiful."



Another clue: Kim admitted to Ryan Seacrest's radio show Friday that designer pal Nicole Richie helped persuade her to choose something "classic" and "Old Hollywood" ... and that there might be more than one gown for the event.



No matter what, expect to see petite Kim in her fave Christian Louboutin heels. At 5'2", she's got to keep up with her 6'9" fiance!









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!









Good news! Fans will have the chance to see the entire wedding event. The ceremony will be recorded for a two-night, four-hour wedding special titled "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event" set to air on Sunday, October 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and on Monday, October 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on E!.
