Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding on May 24, 2014, stands out as one of the most extravagant celebrity weddings in history. Although their marriage ended when Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, their wedding day remains memorable for its opulence and grandeur.

The couple’s nuptials took place in Florence, Italy, at the historic Forte di Belvedere, a 16th-century fort that once protected the city. The festivities spanned two countries, beginning with a pre-wedding lunch at the home of fashion designer Valentino Garavani near Paris, followed by a lavish rehearsal dinner at the Palace of Versailles. The couple flew 200 guests from France to Italy on private jets for the main event.

Kanye West meticulously planned every detail of the wedding, which included private performances by John Legend, Lana del Rey, and Andrea Bocelli. The ceremony featured a life-size wall of flowers and a custom Givenchy wedding dress for Kardashian designed by Riccardo Tisci. The dress, estimated to cost around $500,000, had sheer sleeves, pearl embellishments, and unique cutouts.

Guests included Kardashian’s family members, such as Kris Jenner and her sisters, as well as friends like John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, and Jaden Smith. The reception featured a 224-foot marble table, a menu prepared by a renowned Florence-based catering company, and a seven-foot-tall wedding cake adorned with gold-leaf decoration.

The couple’s first dance was accompanied by a live performance of “At Last” by John Legend, followed by a selection of songs that kept the celebration lively. Kardashian’s bridal look was complemented by a dramatic cathedral-length veil and diamond accessories gifted by West.

Despite the challenges of coordinating such an extravagant event across two countries, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding remains a testament to their lavish tastes and grandiose celebration of their love.
