This wedding cost $6.3 million, and wait ’til you see the cake
There are weddings, and then there are weddings. After seeing seeing this couple’s wedding, you might never see flowers the same way again. Folarin Alakija, entrepreneur and son of a Nigerian family that owns an oil company, married model Nazanin Jafarian Ghaissarifar, and their special day was a sight we’ll never forget.
Celebrity florist Jeff Leatham, who is the mastermind behind all the floral arrangements at the Four Seasons, was brought on board to turn the Blenheim Place (the residence of the Duke of Marlborough in Oxfordshire, England) into a white wonderland. Let’s just say he knew what he was doing.

Nazanin got married in a strapless gown that was timeless and elegant. She had eight gorgeous bridesmaids, who wore elegant one-strap dresses.

Of course, one dress isn’t enough for this billionaire couple and their millionaire wedding, so Nazanin switched into a sheer number for the party portion of the wedding.
She looked stunning—and she sorta matched the flower arrangements.

The dance floor was elegantly decorated with the happy couple’s initials in gold. If this wasn’t a fairytale wedding, we don’t know what is.

And what good would an over-the-top wedding be without a surprise serenade from Robin Thicke?!
Now let’s get to the good stuff: the food. Here’s a picture of their decadent menu, which featured a five-course menu, complete with foie gras, crispy duck egg, and poached summer fruit pudding.
This wedding giving me all types of life #NazaAndFlo

Here’s the kicker. The wedding cake was 12 feet tall, which basically means it’s bigger than the first apartment you lived in. #BillionaireLife
We feel like we need to know whether those were edible flowers, regular flowers, or just decorative icing? Whatever it was, we’re sure that cake tasted damn good.
All in all, this lavish wedding cost $6.3 million dollars.
We can’t say we’ll be expecting all that at our wedding, but it sure is nice to see what we’re up against. Congrats to the happy, gorgeous couple!
