Selena Gomez posted a suite of romantic photos with music producer Benny Blanco on Saturday as she offered a glimpse into their wedding weekend as stars descended upon Goleta for the glamorous ceremony.
Gomez, 33, is marrying her fiancé of nine months Benny Blanco, 37, at a 70-acre private plantation, just north of Santa Barbara, in California which has been the scene of intense preparations throughout the day.
Exclusive Daily Mail photos show glammed up guests mingling before boarding a fleet of black Mercedes vans to be driven to the clifftop nursery where the ceremony is taking place.
The wedding follows a lavish rehearsal dinner on Friday night which took place at a 10-bedroom mansion in Goleta's tony Hope Ranch neighborhood - photos of which appeared on the actress' Instagram page merely moments before the next event was getting underway.
In the enchanting photos, Gomez could be seen gazing adoringly at her bridegroom as they posed together under the streaming sunlight on the lawn of the venue.
Her backless white dress featured ruffled detailing around the neckline, as well as ruched accents to add a touch of added flair.
Wearing her dark hair in a lush bob, the bride-to-be brought the look together with glittering jewelry and white nail polish to complement the dress.
Meanwhile Blanco, who has been with Gomez since 2023, went for a classic black Ralph Lauren tuxedo, teamed with a blue print dress shirt and a matching pocket square.
They were photographed holding hands and strolling barefoot across the field together, as well as cuddling up to one another in the run-up to their big day.
In an especially heartwarming shot, Blanco lay back and rested on his bride's lap as she sat on the grass, her dress artfully fanned out around her.
Gomez also posed for pictures sitting alone on the grass, beaming with anticipation of her nuptials as she held her bridal bouquet up to her face to catch a whiff of its aroma.
The happy couple were seen gazing into each other's eyes, before Gomez wrapped her arms around Blanco and drew him in for the kiss.
While the breathtaking images caused a stir online, guests were spotted piling into the black Mercedes vans heading for the evening ceremony were comedian Eric Andre, 42, and Ed Sheeran's manager Stuart Camp.
Andre cut a characteristically striking figure in a purple suit teamed with a lime green print shirt, worn with no tie and a set of white loafers.
The dress code allowed the guests a bit of breathing room, with some women in full-length gowns while others were glimpsed emerging from the hotel in shorter cocktail dresses.
Meanwhile, although certain male guests opted to wear black ties to the formal affair, others wore full tuxedos with bow-ties, some wore colored ties and a few were seen not wearing ties at all.
As guests filed out of the hotel and into the Mercedes vans that would shuttle them to the event, phalanxes of attendants waited for them with umbrellas.
Guests were seen waltzing into the Sea Crest Nursery nestled along the stunning Santa Ynez Mountains in black SUVs.
The couple reportedly invited 170 guests to attend the ceremony, including Gomez's superstar bestie Taylor Swift, her co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, Paris Hilton, and Ed Sheeran.
The A-list attendees weren't pictured walking into the venue, and the umbrellas shielded many of the guests as they were ushered out of their vehicles.
The previous evening, Swift and Short were spotted being driven into the palatial property ahead of the rehearsal dinner.
All eyes are now on the romantic nursery – a 70-acre private plantation in Goleta dotted with palm trees and cycads – where a series of vast marquees have been set up and the pair will finally exchange rings.
Photos taken by the Daily Mail show tubs of decorative blooms already set up around the tents while a romantic glow will be provided by strings of fairy lights.
Security has also been ramped up, with Gomez thought to be ponying up $300,000 to keep her nuptials safe.
On Saturday morning, vans could be seen coming and going – among them a vehicle belonging to Revelry Event Designers whose past clients include Demi Lovato.
The starry gathering has seen famous faces jet in from across the country, among them Swift who promised Gomez she would be her flower girl after her engagement was announced.
The blonde megastar flew in from Kansas City on Friday and is staying at the glamorous Rosewood Miramar which sits in the swanky celebrity enclave of Montecito.
The upscale property boasts rooms overlooking the Pacific and the golden sand of Miramar Beach with the cheapest accommodation starting at $1,014-per-night.
Despite the romantic choice of hotel, the stunner's own fiancé Travis Kelce was forced to miss out due to the Kansas City Chiefs squaring off against the Baltimore Ravens at the Arrowhead Stadium tomorrow.
Gomez and Blanco have had a relatively short engagement and announced they would wed early last December in an Instagram post she captioned: 'Forever begins now'.
The sweet post was accompanied by a carousel of photos that included a close-up of her stunning marquise cut solitaire diamond engagement ring.
Other happy snaps included a photo of the beaming pair cuddled up together and another of Gomez, glamorous in a shaggy beige jacket, admiring her sparkler while seated on a picnic blanket next to a champagne bucket.
Gomez' marriage to Virginia native Blanco marks a new chapter in what was once a turbulent love life that included a high-profile relationship with troubled Canadian singer Justin Bieber.
That ill-starred romance started in 2011 when she was just 18 and he 16 and flamed out for good in 2018 – just months before the boyish megastar wed his now-wife Hailey.
In a 2020 interview with NPR, Gomez described the relationship as 'toxic' adding: 'I'm not being disrespectful.
'I do feel I was a victim to certain [emotional] abuse.'
Although Gomez also met Blanco while she was in her teens, neither remembered the meeting and the pair only became close after collaborating on the March 2019 tune I Can't Get Enough.
The video featured Blanco dressed as a white teddy bear and the pair became pals but romance didn't blossom until they worked together on a second aural sensation in Single Soon – her August 2023 smash hit.
That led to sparks flying and by December the same year, the couple confirmed they were an item with Gomez declaring online of Blanco: '[He is the] best thing that's ever happened to me. The end.'
