Understated — it wasn’t.
Perched on an Italian hilltop, before a massive wall of flowers, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West tied the knot in characteristically excessive style Saturday.
The over-the-top couple’s over-the-top nuptials featured a performance by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and more designer duds than Paris Fashion Week.
The venue was stunning — and stunningly expensive: The Forte di Belvedere in Florence alone cost the couple $420,000.
Kardashian wore a Givenchy haute couture gown and West donned a matching Givenchy tux, according to Us Weekly.

Even the newlyweds’ 11-month-old daughter, North West, got in on the haute action, rocking her own matching Givenchy dress.
Kardashian walked down the aisle arm-in-arm with her Olympian stepdad, Bruce Jenner, as Bocelli sang "Con te Partiró."
The star-studded crowd — including model Chrissy Teigen, her crooner husband John Legend, and TV personality LaLa Anthony — broke into applause as the couple known as Kimye shared their first married kiss.
“Such a magical, romantic wedding!” momager Kris Jenner told E! Online after the affair. “I feel blessed to have my new son and his family as part of ours.”

Jenner added she’s “beyond bursting with happiness for Kim, Kanye and baby North.”
But it wouldn’t be a Kardashian affair without a healthy dose of drama — and the overexposed family didn’t disappoint.
Disgusted by the ostentatious multicountry wedding festivities, Rob Kardashian reportedly flew back to the U.S. before his sister’s special day.
The final straw for the brother came when Kardashian criticized him for not dropping any weight ahead of her nuptials, X17 reported.
“Rob said he was sickened by Kim and Kanye’s display of wealth and clothes and beauty and called it ‘superficial b-------,’ but Kim was pissed that Rob hadn’t made an effort to drop any weight over the past few months,” a source told the site.
“Rob basically thinks Kim cares about him only for his appearance and he said he’d ‘make life easier’ for her and just leave.”
In addition to the wedding, Rob skipped the rehearsal dinner at the Palace of Versailles and a brunch at Valentino Garavani’s Paris mansion.
But he wasn’t the wedding’s only notable bold-faced no-show. The Carters — Jay Z and Beyoncé — also bailed. The hip-hop power couple instead opted to spend the weekend at the Hamptons.

A source told Hollywoodlife.com that Jay and Bey wanted to avoid an encounter with designer Rachel Roy — who is believed to be the catalyst for the infamous Solange Knowles elevator attack on her brother-in-law at the Standard Hotel two weeks ago.
