Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are married! The reality star and the New Jersey Nets forward wed on Saturday evening at a private estate in Montecito, California.

There were 440 guests in attendance, celebrities such as Demi Lovato, Vera Wang, Ciara, Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz, Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough, Lindsay Lohan, Brittny Gastineau - and that's not even half of the celebs - saw how Kim was walked down the aisle by her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, in a custom-designed Vera Wang gown. The ivory gown had a full tulle skirt, basque waist and hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué on the bodice and train. She paired the dress with shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti.

The groom wore a white peak lapel tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants and a white tuxedo shirt with a white bow tie by Ermenegildo Zegna. Zegna also dressed all the groomsmen and the fathers of the bride and groom. The groomsmen wore black peak lapel tuxedos, white tuxedo shirts and black silk bow ties. Kim was supported by two maids of honor, her sisters Kourtney and Khloe. Her younger sisters Kendall and Kylie, as well as Kris's sister Kaela, were bridesmaids. Kourtney's son Mason was the ringbearer.

After exchanging the Lorraine Schwartz rings, the couple and their entourage partied the night away. Kris slipped into a black peak lapel tuxedo, white tuxedo shirt and black silk bow tie by Zegna, to match his groomsmen. Kim had two more dress changes planned. The first dress was a Georgette mermaid gown by Vera Wang, with hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué, the skirt was intermixed with hand cut organza petals and Chantilly lace motifs, as well as organza sprig embroidery. She wore it with a Judith Leiber clutch. The second dress was also by Vera Wang, a bias-cut crepe back satin gown with a V-neck and circle skirt. Again, paired with a Judith Leiber clutch.

E! News will broadcast Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event October 9th and 10th, where we'll be able to watch the wedding from up close.

First look: Dylan Lauren's wedding dress revealed!

Dylan Lauren in her wedding dress designed by dad Ralph Lauren
Dylan Lauren, daughter of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, wed Paul Arrouet last month at the family Bedford Estate. Of course, when your dad is a famous fashion designer, you don't have to go wedding dress shopping,  but as the photo shows Ralph Lauren's design certainly exceeds any expectation anyone might have had. Dylan, 37, wore a handmade duchesse satin, silk tulle, georgette embroidered dress with a tiered train. It was protected by a security guard at Ralph Lauren's New York headquarters prior to the wedding.

No photos of the wedding were available, so it was unknown what the dress exactly looked like. However, Dylan poses for the August issue of Vogue in her dress, as a celebration to her marriage.

Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren, 71, reportedly consulted his former protegée and bridalwear expert Vera Wang, when designing the dress. He told Oprah Winfrey in an interview in May that designing a wedding dress for his own daughter was an emotional experience. He said, "I had to do something that was better than ever before. When you do something for your family or your daughter, I mean it's the only daughter I have - beautiful girl." He continued, "I want to just give her something that she'd really treasure and give her something that would be really amazing. I want her to feel fantastic." He has succeeded, because Dylan described the dress as "the most amazing thing, because it's really stunning." She also said, "I told my fiancé, 'I may sleep in it. I might wear it the next day.' It's really beautiful. I know that every bit of his energy and heart went into making sure that I liked it."
