Plan a Kimye-style wedding when you say ‘I Do’ at W South Beach. They’ve dreamed up a million-dollar wedding package fit for a celebrity, complete with a lasvish honeymoon at the St. Regis in Bora Bora.

The details are all right there– everything from bathroom attendants to bling for the bride ($250,000 worth!) has been thought of.

Begin with a four-night pre-wedding getaway at the property, the perfect time for menu tastings, fittings of the dress and tuxedo, or just to unwind in total luxury.  During the trip, the couple will enjoy a visit to a 122-foot yacht for cocktails at sunset, followed by a five-course menu served by candlelight on the Atlantic Ocean.  The VIP treatment continues with a romantic dinner at the famed Mr Chow restaurant at W South Beach.  The hotel’s luxe Cool Corner and Marvelous suites will serve as accommodations for the bride- and groom-to-be, respectively, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic water views and private wrap-around balconies.

On the day of the wedding, personal butlers for both the bride and groom will be on-hand to cater to the couple’s every need. Before wedding bells start ringing, the bride and groom are first invited to unwind with “Pre-Nup” and “Pre-Groomed” treatments at the on-site Bliss Spa.  Mothers of the bride and groom get in on the action too with hair, make-up and “groom”ing services.

For the ceremony, the couple will have a choice of GROVE, the hotel’s lush outdoor garden, inspired by the gardens of Nimes, France, to the brilliant backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean with a beach ceremony.

Post-ceremony festivities will kick off with a cocktail hour followed by a seated dinner for up to 175 guests, featuring menu items of The Dutch, Andrew Carmellini’s award-winning American restaurant at W South Beach.  A custom-designed cake by the “Baker to the Stars,” Miami Beach’s celebrity pastry chef, will be presented just before guests take to the dance floor in the immaculately designed, 2,163-square-foot Great Room.   Guests will party through the night to the sounds of a seven-piece band or DJ.  A fashion photo booth will invite party guests to capture playful pictures to take home, while creating a digital photo album for the bride and groom.

Benedicte Verley Photography, notable wedding book fashion photographer, will capture every detail as part of a $35,000 photography package.

The wedding night will be spent in teh Penthouse, a 2,965-square-foot, two-story marvel, where the bride will enjoy custom-selected designer lingerie.

The honeymoon will begin at the exclusive St. Regis Bora Bora, which will welcome the newlyweds for six nights in one of its Royal Estate private pavilions. Complimentary amenities/services provided to the newlyweds include daily breakfast and dedicated butler.

Just in case you’re considering this lavish affair, the hotel suggests booking six to nine months in advance. You know, because there’s going to be a line for this type of package.
