Not to mention another $600,000 for premium windowed, air-conditioned tents, $500,000 for flowers, and $109,000 on tables, all of which made the venue complete.
Though the budget was a rumored $3 million, experts estimate the wedding cost $4.8 million

The couple invited 100 guests to the Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia for a week-long celebration, which no doubt helped their bill rise.
