While a wedding of this scale could cost upwards of $500,000, celebrity event producer Tony Schubert states “not only will the family not spend money, it will likely make money.” Wedding vendors are more than willing to give the Kardashian freebies in hopes of publicity. Other sources have reported the wedding cost somewhere the in the   millions – say 10.

Schubert explains to the Hollywood Reporter,
“Because Kim is viewed among many brides-to-be and bridal hopefuls as a tastemaker, association with her is priceless. A single tweet from the star can get a brand’s name in front of nearly 9 million followers (dress designer Vera Wang is already receiving frequent mentions), compared to the 200,000 circulation of a wedding magazine like Brides.”

For instance, Kim’s luxury crystal-embellished black-and-white engraved gate fold invitations – free.
