Kim Kardashian marries Kris Humphries

Married: 20 August 2011


Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries on Saturday 20th August at a private estate in Montecito.

The black-tie wedding took place in front of 440 guests including celebs like Ryan Seacrest, Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Brittny Gastineau and Avril Lavigne. All in attendance were asked to follow a black and white dress code.

Kim wore three different Vera Wang gowns and shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti. Her hair was pulled back in a bun and secured with a diamond headpiece.

Their wedding will air as a two-part special, “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event,” on E!.

Wedding Dress

Kim wore three different Vera Wang dresses during the course of the evening. The ceremony dress was a strapless gown with a full tulle skirt, basque waist and hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué on the bodice and train. After the vows, she changed into her second dress of the night, an ivory Georgette mermaid style gown with hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué on the bodice and a skirt with hand-cut organza petals intermixed with Chantilly lace motifs and organza sprig embroidery. The third dress was a bias-cut crepe back satin gown with V-neck and circle skirt.

Groom’s Attire

Kris wore a Ermenegildo Zegna white peak lapel tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants with white tuxedo shirt and white bow tie. At the reception, he changed into a black peak lapel Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo, white tuxedo shirt and black silk bow tie.
