Everything We Know About Selena Gomez’s Wedding This Weekend
If you’ve been wondering when Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco will finally say “I do,” the countdown is officially on. The couple’s wedding is set for this Saturday, September 27, and reports are piecing together exactly how it’s all coming together. From a star-studded guest list to designer gown predictions, Selena Gomez’s wedding is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest pop culture moments.
Selena Gomez’s wedding will take place at a private estate
According to TMZ, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco decided against popular celebrity hotels like the Rosewood Miramar Beach or San Ysidro Ranch. Instead, they’ve rented a private estate in Montecito. The exact address hasn’t even been shared with guests. The outlet reported that invitees will be shuttled from the city to the estate to keep everything under wraps. Sources told the outlet the choice ensures tighter security and a more intimate atmosphere.
Guests will stay at the luxe El Encanto hotel
While the ceremony will happen at a private estate, The Sun reported that friends and family will stay at the historic El Encanto hotel in Santa Barbara. Rooms at the five-star property cost up to $3,500 a night and are fully booked for the wedding weekend. Page Six added that guests won’t even know the exact ceremony destination until they are picked up and driven there. “Everyone is so excited despite the mystery. They know it will be an amazing time,” one insider told The Sun.
Selena Gomez’s wedding follows her Cabo bachelorette party
Signs of the big day have been building for weeks. Earlier this month, Selena hosted her bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. According to Page Six, she celebrated with close friends Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook, and Courtney Lopez. Social media posts showed her in all-white outfits — a minidress, bikini, and cover-up — while partying on a yacht. Benny Blanco, for his part, marked his bachelor party in Las Vegas at a $25,000-a-night villa, TMZ reported.
What Selena Gomez might wear down the aisle
Speculation over the dress has been high. Brides magazine asked designers to sketch what they imagined Selena might choose. The team at Pronovias predicted a ball gown with a halter neckline and satin finish. Anne Barge’s creative director, Shawne Jacobs, envisioned a strapless ball gown with a knotted bow and classic gloves. Francesca Miranda offered a 1950s-inspired lace design with floral appliqués. Galia Lahav’s head designer, Sharon Sever, said he could see her in a silk ball gown with French lace, later changing into a sleek satin reception look.
Who might be on the guest list
Though no official confirmations have been made, Selena’s closest friends are expected to attend. The Sun noted that Taylor Swift and Nicola Peltz Beckham are among her inner circle and could be in Santa Barbara this weekend. Taylor even joked on Selena’s engagement post last December that she would serve as the flower girl. With Blanco’s connections in the music industry, the celebration is expected to draw an A-list crowd.
Selena Gomez’s wedding marks a new chapter
The couple announced their engagement in December 2024 after more than a year together. Selena captioned her Instagram reveal with the words “forever begins now,” showing off her diamond ring. At the Emmys earlier this month, she was seen smiling as Blanco kissed her on the red carpet. With the ceremony days away, all signs point to a wedding designed to be intimate, glamorous, and unforgettable.
