Inside the Weekend Wedding Preview
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco gave fans a romantic glimpse into their upcoming nuptials on Saturday, sharing a set of tenderness-filled photos that capture the couple amid wedding-weekend excitement. The 33-year-old singer and 37-year-old music producer offered a candid look at their first moments as partners-to-be, including a sweet kiss that signals the start of a highly anticipated celebration.
A Romantic Setting and Star-Studded Guest List
The ceremony is planned for Sea Crest Nursery, a lush 70-acre private plantation in Goleta, California, known for its palm-lined vistas and cycads that evoke a tranquil, tropical vibe. The weekend’s footprint also includes a Friday night rehearsal dinner held at a grand Hope Ranch estate, a vast 1,863-acre property tucked beneath the Santa Ynez Mountains. The guest list reads like a who’s who of Gomez’s circle, with longtime friend Taylor Swift and Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars—Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Paul Rudd—among those seen in attendance alongside Paris Hilton.
Style Moments from the Rehearsal Photos
In the new images, Gomez appears radiant in a glistening, silvery-white rehearsal gown, a custom piece by Ralph Lauren. The backless white dress features delicate ruffle detailing around the neckline and ruched accents that add a touch of flair. Her hair is styled in a lush bob, and she complements the look with glittering jewelry and white nail polish, a classic choice that catches the Sun in the best possible way. Blanco embodies timeless elegance in a classic black Ralph Lauren tuxedo paired with a blue-printed shirt and a coordinating pocket square, creating a refined contrast with Gomez’s luminous ensemble.
Intimate Moments on the Lawn
The photos capture an easy, sunlit afternoon: Gomez and Blanco strolling barefoot across the field, hands linked as they share smiles and steady glances. In a particularly warm moment, Blanco rests beside his bride on the grass, his head on Gomez’s lap as her dress fans out around them, a candid scene that underscores the couple’s comfort and affection. Gomez sits on the grass, bouquet in hand, leaning toward the camera with a glow that suggests the magic of the day to come. As the moment deepens, she reaches to draw her partner in for a kiss, their chemistry on full display in the soft light.
What Fans Can Expect on the Big Day
With the wedding weekend underway, all eyes are on Goleta’s scenic grounds for what promises to be a stylish, intimate ceremony. The couple’s choice of venues—comprising a private plantation and a sprawling equestrian-like estate—reflects a desire for a laid-back yet luxurious celebration, framed by nature and the region’s warm, golden-hour light. While photos offer a preview of the mood—romantic, serene, and deeply affectionate—the full ceremony and reception will likely bring together Gomez’s close circle and Blanco’s collaborators for an event that blends glamour with personal meaning. Fans and media alike will be watching for more glimpses of fashion, moments of connection, and the first official vows that will mark a new chapter for the couple.
