Chiara Ferragni, aka the fashion blogger The Blonde Salad, married Italian rapper Fedez today in Italy, after a weekend of elaborate events.

For the ceremony, Ferragni wore Dior Haute Couture, and the house’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, was reportedly in attendance. Ferragni changed into a more playful gown after the ceremony, and she shared a closer look at both ensembles on Instagram.

Events kicked off on Friday night, when the couple hosted a rehearsal dinner for friends and family at the historic Noto Bassi di Palazzo Nicolaci in Noto, in southeast Sicily. The evening looks like it was filled with lots of flowers, and lots and lots of emotions. (It is an Italian wedding, after all.) Ferragni wore a glittering Prada gown for the occasion.

Ferragni has over 14 million followers on Insta, her own footwear collection, and, of course, the site that made her famous: The Blonde Salad. In 2015, Refinery29 reported that her products and partnerships netted her $8 million annually. So this is kind of the Royal Wedding of Italy right now.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, “The wedding will also represent the first take of a documentary film on Ferragni’s life. The filming will continue after the wedding, following the influencer during the fashion weeks in New York, Milan, Paris, and while visiting her hometown, Cremona. With a budget of reportedly 400,000 euros, the docufilm will be produced in partnership with other, undisclosed international investors, with speculations rising around a possible interest from Netflix and HBO, too.”

This isn’t the beginning of their very public love story: Fedez proposed to Ferragni onstage during a concert in May 2017.

Ferragni then announced that she was pregnant in October of the same year, writing, “Hey guys.. We’re gonna be parents soon ?? I’m 5 months pregnant now and we can’t wait to meet baby raviolo ? Life is beautiful.”

Their son, Leone, who goes by the nickname Leo, was born in March 2018. Again, Ferragni announced the news on her social channels.

Congratulations to the newlyweds and their family! Or, we should say, Congratulazioni.

All the Celebrity Couples Who’ve Escaped to the Coast of Italy This Summer

In between touring the world for On the Run II, Beyoncé and Jay-Z stopped off in Lake Como for some color-coordinated R&R.

Seriously color-coordinated, as seen when they headed for land and casually took the streets of Lake Como in a convertible.

Jennifer Lopez and A-Rod have been trying their own hand at being a casual, color-coordinated couple while closing out the summer in Capri.

And, like Bey and Jay, J.Lo and A.Rod also made sure to spend some time off land.

Ricky Martin and his chesty new husband Jwan Yosef were among those like Emily Ratajkowski who jetted off to Sardinia this week to party for UNICEF.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson managed to actually pass as your everyday American tourists while on vacation in Portofino.

At least until Hanks got carried away with the photo ops, anyway.

He may not be pictured here in , but rest assured that famously camera-shy 43-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio is still dating 21-year-old actress and model Camila Morrone. The pair seem to have made it something of a mission to have the ultimate summer vacation.

Steve Harvey actually had a video montage made of his getaway with his wife Marjorie Harvey, which included both gondolas and yachts.

Before the pair very messily called it quits, in July, Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima spent much sunnier times out on the water in Portofino.

To celebrate wrapping five months of shooting Gemini Man with Ang Lee, Will Smith and his “life partner” Jada Pinkett-Smith brought the kiddies on a family vaycay to the Amalfi Coast.
