Kim Kardashian and Kanye West gets Married in Florence, Italy

I’m sure everyone is following #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple’s #worldsmosttalkedaboutwedding that just happened this weekend in Florence, Italy between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. It is also considered to be one the biggest celebrity destination weddings of all time.

While we generally do not blog about celebrity weddings, this particular one hits very close to my heart.

In fact, just this past weekend we at Devoted to You planned a luxurious destination wedding for a couple at Villa La Vedetta, another beautiful venue that overlooks the city of Florence, on the south bank of the Arno River.

Villa La Vedetta

This venue is a 6 minute drive from Forte di Belvedere, the venue for Kim and Kanye’s wedding. Both venues actually share the same majestic view over Florence as seen from Bing Maps below:

But that’s not where the coincidence ends! It is said that Kim and her family were staying at the Belmond Villa San Michele, which is where I personally got married! Here’s a pic of our own wedding exactly four years ago in May 2010 (looks like we have the same taste!):

So why are so many people going to Florence to get married? It’s a beautiful gem that is rich in culture, known for its beautiful gardens, galleries, and architecture. It is also the birth place of the Renaissance, a period defined by the works from renowned artists Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. Plus, it is rated as one of the most romantic cities in world by pretty much everyone.

If you are interested in getting married in Florence or other parts of Italy, we strongly encourage you to contact us. We are one of the few if not only Toronto-based wedding planners with local talent on the ground in Italy. Make your wedding dreams come true!

POV: you’re supposed to be enjoying teamLab Planets… but your event planner brain won’t switch off. 😂 The projections. The music. The scent. The movement. The way every room makes you feel something. I went for the experience and left thinking about the future of weddings and events. Because what if the next big event trend isn’t more décor… but creating a world your guests can actually step into? 👀✨ Are immersive projections about to have their moment in events? #thelukedit #devotedtoyouweddings #TokyoJapan #JapanTravel #ImmersiveExperience Teamlab Planets, EventDesign, WeddingDesign, EventTrends, WeddingTrends, ExperientialDesign DestinationWedding, destination wedding planner

Are immersive projections about to have their moment in events?

Wedding planner content: lighting candles, fixing menus and casually walking around looking put together. ✨ The reality? That’s probably 10% of the job. 😂 The other 90% is happening behind the scenes — nonstop texts and phone calls, weather decisions, last-minute changes, communicating with vendors before they arrive, adjusting timelines and solving things before our couples ever know there was a problem. Those moments are rarely captured because… well, we’re usually too busy doing them. So shoutout to Garbo for catching some of the real action at Amy & Brian’s wedding. 🤍 This is what wedding planning actually looks like.

A day in the life of a wedding planner ✨ Amy & Brian’s wedding day edition. We went back and forth on the rain plan more times than I’d like to admit 🌧️☀️ — but in the end, the weather gave us the most beautiful golden hour, followed by fireworks to close out the night. 🎆 One of my favourite parts of this wedding was bringing a full Chinese catering experience into a venue that doesn’t host this style of service often. It takes a lot of coordination behind the scenes — between the venue, caterer, kitchen, rentals and our planning team — to make everything flow seamlessly. And this is exactly the kind of challenge I love. When everyone comes together with professionalism, flexibility and a shared goal of creating the best experience for the couple and their guests, magic happens.

People often ask what I notice first when I arrive at a venue. It isn’t the flowers. Or the view. It’s how every piece comes together to create a feeling. Before every destination wedding, I always thinking about: • How guests will experience the ceremony • Where the light falls • The flow of the space • The details no one notices—until they’re missing This is what a wedding looks like through a planner’s eyes. Save this if you love seeing what happens before the celebration begins. 📍venue @maisondubreuil 🌸 floral design @refletsfleurs 🍽️ catering @capdevielle_traiteur 📝 planning & design @devotedtoyou 💌 stationery @blancheheirloom.co 🎥 videography & behind the scenes @yourdaybylucas 📷 photography @ericcheng.photography 💄H&MU @satinestudio 🎨 live illustration @laehuistudio #TheLukEdit #DestinationWeddingPlanner #devotedtoyouweddings #LuxuryWedding #WeddingBehindTheScenes FranceWedding WeddingInspiration LuxuryTravel
