Selena Gomez is set to tie the knot with Benny Blanco in a luxurious, intimate ceremony on Saturday, September 27, in Montecito, California.
Although neither has publicly confirmed the wedding, reports indicate that celebrity guests have begun arriving. According to TMZ, Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short, were spotted at rehearsal events on Friday, while Taylor Swift made a discreet entrance behind black umbrellas upon landing in Santa Barbara. On Saturday, aerial photos revealed the wedding venue, which features a series of tents on a scenic cliffside.
Previous reports from TMZ noted the installation of a white marquee and a dark gray canopy on a sprawling estate, where Gomez and Blanco will exchange vows. To maintain privacy, guests will be transported to the venue via shuttle. Full details of the guest list remain undisclosed, but Paris Hilton confirmed her attendance after her sister inadvertently leaked the information.
Accommodations and Reception
Guests will reportedly stay at the El Encanto hotel, at rates of roughly $3,500 a night. The reception is believed to be hosted by Snoop Dogg, who previously collaborated with Blanco.
Gomez recently expressed her excitement about the wedding planning, stating, “I’m very lucky. It’s going well. I’m so excited.” Ahead of the ceremony, she has shared her vision for the day, including decisions about the menu and attire.
Menu Preferences and Inspirations
In a recent interview regarding her wedding menu, Gomez revealed that she prefers biscuits and gravy over a traditional wedding cake. “I think I’d want a mini one for just us that we can freeze,” she mentioned.
Style Inspiration and Details
Though the specifics of her wedding attire remain undisclosed, Gomez has been gathering inspiration through Pinterest. “I have all my folders of inspiration for the wedding,” she noted, emphasizing her collaborative approach with her makeup artist.
Among her wedding party, Gomez revealed that her co-star, Martin Short, will serve as the ring bearer and expressed hopes for him to deliver a speech. Lastly, she shared a glimpse of her recent bachelorette party in Cabo, celebrating with friends, complete with sunbathing and memorable activities.
