The Accommodation

While the coast has no dearth of spectacular properties, one that stands out due to its opulence is Aman Venice on the Grand Canal, where the couple and the guests are said to be staying. Aman was also the venue for George and Amal Clooney’s grand wedding in 2014 and the rooms are said to cost anywhere around $3000 to $32000 per night. Apart from Aman, the Amazon CEO has also booked out Gritti Palace, The St.Regis, the Belmond Cipriani, and Hotel Danieli. 

The Festivities

According to reports, the wedding festivities will stretch out for over two days from 24th-26th June with parts of it taking place on Bezos’ $50 million yacht Koru. While even the guests are yet to know the exact location of the wedding and the reception, there is a strong buzz that Fondazione Cini, a monastery on the small island of San Giorgio Maggiore might be the venue.

The Bridal Regalia

It has been all but confirmed that the bride Lauren Sanchez would be donning custom Dolce & Gabbana for her big day. The couple was recently spotted at the Dolce & Gabbana boutique in Milan for a fitting. Sanchez also seems to have a close relationship with the designer duo as her son Nikko Gonzalez has walked the ramp for them. Coming to the cost of her dress, a custom D&G bridal gown can range anywhere between $9000 to even a few millions depending on the opulence and intricacies of the piece. Apart from her custom bridal outfit, Sanchez will also sport her 30-carat engagement ring that Bezos proposed to her with. The estimated cost of the ring is about $5 million.

Gifts and Goodies

It might be one of the hardest things in the world to pick out an appropriate wedding gift for the third richest man in the world. However, the couple has made the job easy for their A-lister friends and family as the guests have been requested to not bring any gifts and only to give charity donations if they please. The thoughtful couple has also planned goodie bags for their friends to take home as a memento which will be filled with glassware from Laguna B and pastries from the local Rosa Salva - both local businesses. The price of Laguna B glassware are usually around $500 dollars and can easily go up to a few thousands.

The Guest List

As expected, the guest list of the Bezos-Sanchez wedding is going to feature some of the biggest names in the world of Hollywood, politics, and tech. Some of the confirmed Hollywood heavyweights include Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey. The celebratory extravaganza will also greet the likes of Bill Gates from the world of tech and Ivanka Trump from the world of politics, who have already reached Venetian coast to join the celebrations.
