While the festivities are being chronicled by international media outlets, attendees seem to have some restrictions. Upon their arrivals, wedding<\/a> guests had their phones stowed away, according to one source.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tKim Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner on June 26 in Venice.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGetty Images<\/p>\n \n\tMany of the designer label-loving attendees packed accordingly. That\u2019s a good thing, since their style is being scrutinized at every turn. Even Kylie Jenner\u2019s three-year-old son Aire landed an article in The Daily Mail for carrying a stuffed monkey that may have been the Baby Milo bag that\u00a0Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet had on the red carpet previously.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tKhloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner out for a stroll in Venice.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGC Images<\/p>\n \n\tAsked about how the Sanchez-Bezos wedding has become a type of fashion show in itself, Calvin Klein<\/a> \u2014 who is not attending \u2014 said, \u201cI guess, when you get to a certain place and you have everything, there aren\u2019t that many weddings in one\u2019s life. And Venice is a glorious place to have a wedding and celebrate with people that you care about.\u00a0This is life at its wealthiest level. And we get to see it and view how they are celebrating their wedding. It\u2019s kind of wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n While \u201cit\u2019s unfortunate that it gets some nasty publicity along with it,\u201d Klein said, \u201cthat\u2019s to be expected.\u201d Suggesting that protesters were \u201cprotesting their own cause,\u201d the designer added, \u201cI\u2019m sure that Jeff Bezos<\/a> is very generous to Venice and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Even Thursday night\u2019s thunderstorm and downpours didn\u2019t appear to dampen guests\u2019 moods en route to a dinner in the\u00a015th-century Madonna dell Orto church. The\u00a0Schiaparelli-clad Sanchez and others smiled, ducking under blue umbrellas. The hue matched Amazon<\/a>\u2019s brand color of choice. An Amazon<\/a> spokesperson declined to comment about whether the umbrellas are available on the website, or if anything Sanchez and Bezos wear this\u00a0weekend\u00a0will be sold by the e-tailer.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tWearing a Schiaparelli dress, Lauren Sanchez<\/a> gets on a taxi boat at the Aman Hotel in Venice.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n \n\tAll of the wedding could bode well with consumers, as Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be held July 8 to 11.<\/p>\n \n\tThe revelry is \u201ca great opportunity\u201d for Amazon to gain positive publicity, according to retail analyst Bruce Winder. \u201cWhen you think about the venue, the celebrities in attendance and the outfits guests are wearing, it makes for an incredible once-in-a-decade event. People love celebrity weddings, and their nuptials create inspiration for soon-to-be couples and other event planners,\u201d\u00a0he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tJeff Bezos leaving the Aman Hotel on June 27 in Venice.

She and Bezos reportedly met them a few years ago, when their respective yachts were anchored side by side in Portofino. Sanchez and Bezos were also front-row guests when her son Nikko Gonzalez modeled in the designers\u2019 runway show in Sardinia.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn addition, the coverage helps promote\u00a0Amazon\u2019s increased presence within the accessible luxury products area \u2014 \u201calbeit indirectly,\u201d Winder said. The no-gifts event and the\u00a0couple\u2019s donations to Venice nonprofits \u201cshows their sensitivity to the\u00a0situation,\u201d he added. Their invitation informed guests that donations were being made to UNESCO\u2019s Venice office, CORILA and to the Venice International University.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tJared Kushner and Ivanka Trump leave the St. Regis Hotel en route to the wedding.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n \n\tAfter wearing an Oscar de la Renta ensemble for her first day in Venice, Trump turned up in a pale pink strapless gown from Tony Ward Couture.<\/p>\n Whether all of these camera-ready celebrity-studded moments will be captured in a photo shoot remains a question mark. Asked if Annie Leibovitz, a Vogue favorite who is traveling out of the country, is shooting the nuptials, a staffer in her studio declined to comment. Vogue had an advance exclusive with Sanchez about her wedding dress that was shot by Tierney Gearon.<\/p>\n Along with the Venetian Gothic architecture and celadon-colored canals, the 200 invitees are getting a taste of traditional pastries from Venice\u2019s oldest bakery Rosa Salva. Antonio Rosa said he has been busy making pastries that were delivered in boxes for the wedding guests. The sixth-generation business owner, who uses Amazon to buy things he can\u2019t find in Venice, like trays to serve coffee on at the Rosa Salva Hotel, was enthusiastic about how the Sanchez-Bezos wedding is drawing attention to Venice.<\/p>\n As for the current scene, Salva said, \u201cIt\u2019s a normal day in Venice like any others. There\u2019s no confusion \u2014 no protesters.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tActivists from the U.K. action group Everyone Hates Elon and Greenpeace Italy unfolded a giant banner on Piazza San Marco on June 23.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a9 Greenpeace \/ Michele Lapini<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier this week, Greenpeace and activists from the U.K. action group Everyone Hates Elon rolled out a huge banner imprinted with \u201cIf you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tGreenpeace\u2019s\u00a0Christine Gebeneter described the wedding as \u201ca symbol of\u00a0an extreme overconsumption lifestyle, which is made possible by lax tax rules for billionaires.\u201d She said, \u201cWe ask governments to implement a tax on ultra-rich individuals, so that those contributing over-proportionately to the\u00a0climate and nature crisis pay what they owe to our societies.\u201d<\/p>\n CORILA, the Consortium for the Coordination of Research on the Venice Lagoon, received \u201ca generous donation\u201d from Bezos and Sanchez that will be used to \u201chelp preserve Venice for future generations,\u201d according to the nonprofit\u2019s Pierpaolo Campostrini. The couple did not ask CORILA \u201cto specify the project for which the money will be spent,\u201d\u00a0he said. That will be decided by CORILA\u2019s board in the following weeks,\u00a0Campostrini said.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Kim](\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
