The Cost Of Chiara Ferragni’s Wedding Will Blow You Away

Crazy Rich Italians

Celebrity weddings are nearly always grandiose affairs, but Italian fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni’s wedding has just blown everyone else’s out of the water. 

In what was instantly dubbed the most extravagant wedding of 2018, Chiara wed her longtime love, Italian singer Fedez Leonardo Lucia in Sicily last weekend.  

The wedding bill is enough to make us feel a little light-headed, with the whole affair featuring two incredible wedding gowns, special fireworks, an amusement park, a secluded 19th-century palazzo in Noto and return flights for guests. 

Ferragni chose to wear not one, but two Dior haute couture wedding gowns which are estimated to cost around £231,000 (that’s nearly $420,000)

The stunning wedding location, the Dimora Delle Balze, is believed to have cost the couple another £231,000.  

On top of the already idyllic location, the reception, a bespoke amusement park decked out with a ferris wheel, a carousel ride and event fireworks, was a whopping £81,000 (around $145,000). 

The newlyweds made sure no stone was left unturned, and no guest was made to feel uncomfortable, shelling out return flights for approximately 150 people on a private Alitalia aeroplane for a round trip from Milan to Catania. Making sure your guests travel comfortably and in style costs quite a bit of cash – £154,000 (approximately $27,000) to be specific. 

Of course, no wedding is complete without a killer flower arrangement, and for a wedding such as Ferragni’s? The price tag has been an estimated £3,000 (or $5000). 

This brings the grand total to £704,000. That’s comfortably over one million dollars Australian. 

Excuse us while we go lie down.
