The happy couple: Thanks to social media, the world got to take a glimpse of the wedding of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

Though Kim and Kanye have yet post any official marriage photos of themselves, Balmain head designer Olivier Rousteing did share a picture of the couple at the reception on his Instagram.

Kim had clearly changed out of her Givenchy Haute Couture wedding dress into a pearly number which may we have been designer by Olvier, as it does resembled the minidress she wore a few days early on her hen night.

The black and white snap is a photo of an instant photo that was taking at the wedding, as it seems Kim and Kanye had organised for a photo booth to be installed at Forte di Belvedere.

After the ceremony the guests broke bread together sitting family style on a 70-metre-long marble banquet table - a gift from master craftsman Gualtiero Vannelli who used marble from the Tuscan quarry in Carrara, according to Us Weekly.

They feasted on traditional Italian food with an 'innovative' twist, with a menu that included chicken, salmon, steak, tortelloni, strawberry gelato and both rose and gold Armand de Brignac champagne.

The food was color-coordinated with pink being the theme. And the meal culminated with a towering seven-foot wedding cake of white sponge and white icing with fruit layers, reports People.com.

The cake itself was revealed in an Instagram photo uploaded by guest Franca Sozzani, who apparently intended to merely share a photo of herself with the mother of the bride.

But it was impossible to miss the large cake in the background.

What a day: 600 guests were in attendance at the lavish wedding

Khloe Kardashian cut a lonely figure in an Instagram photo she shared on Sunday, in which she stood and observed the view over picturesque Florence where her sister got married for the third time.

It was surely a reflective moment for the 29-year-old reality star, who is currently estranged from her NBA player husband Lamar Odom.

'E vissero felici e contenti...' the reality star wrote in a caption alongside the image, which is Italian for 'and they lived happily ever after.'

The day before the guests were invited to a lavish pre-wedding dinner at the Palace Of Versailles, where fireworks were said to have been fired off over the grounds during Lana Del Rey's performance as female musicians wearing Marie Antoinette-inspired frocks and wigs were seen preparing to perform.

Lana del Rey supplied the entertainment upon Kanye's special request, with her song Young And Beautiful and went the extra mile by performing three songs in total.
Kim is said to be a 'huge fan' of the 27-year-old singer and Kanye hired an orchestra to play her hit Young And Beautiful when he proposed to the reality show star at the San Francisco AT&T park last October.
From inside the party Giancarlo Giammetti, the honorary president of the Valentino Fashion House, shared snaps of the happy couple as they took the stage to greet guests.
