Sanchez and Bezos welcomed their 200 guests – including Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom – on Thursday for three days of lavish celebrations.

The wedding ceremony will take place on Friday afternoon on San Giorgio Maggiore island.

The happy couple were spotted leaving their hotel today ahead of the wedding on the picturesque island, which overlooks St Mark's Square and is only accessible by boat.

Sanchez and Bezos arrived in Venice on Wednesday, checking into the lavish five-star Aman Venice, where suites cost as much as £10,000 a night.

Before Italy, they were soaking up the sun in Croatia on board Bezos's $500 million mega yacht, Koru.

Pre-wedding festivities are estimated to have cost between $15 to $20 million.

Tourists watched as workers carried flowers into the 16th-century Benedictine church before it shut to the public at 1pm on Thursday.

Sanchez will wear a white gown designed by Dolce & Gabbana after attending a dress fitting at the Italian designer's Milan shop in March.

A-list celebs, including Tom Brady, Mick Jagger, Usher, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, were seen arriving on Thursday.

Kim Kardashian, sister Khloe and their mum Kris were seen boarding taxi boats to reach Venice.

Kim is a good pal to bride Lauren, 55, and attended her hen do weekend in Paris alongside pop sensation Katy Perry in May – costing roughly £500,000.

CBS This Morning anchor Gayle King was also pictured boarding a water taxi.

Orlando Bloom was seen donning a white shirt and beige trousers as he boarded a yacht on Thursday evening.

It comes after reports the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, would "make his debut as a single man" at the A-List wedding of the year's three-day celebration.

Other high-profile guests on their way to the wedding include Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka.

While there were thunderstorms on Thursday night at the welcome pizza party, which kicked off the lavish three-day celebrations, guests seemed to be in good spirits.

At least 95 private planes requested permission to land at Venice's Marco Polo airport, local media reports.

The upcoming wedding is reported to be as stunning as a royal wedding, with Sanchez' brother Paul telling TMZ it would "be like a Princess Di thing".

The couple's wedding organisers, Lanza & Baucina Limited, have worked with stars like George and Amal Clooney and Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault in the past.
