From the canopy of flowers to the four-tier cake draped in fresh blooms, no expense was spared when the son of a Armenian billionaire married his glamorous fiancee.
Karen Karapetyan and his bride, social media star Lilit, exchanged vows at the Armenian Apostolic Church in Moscow before celebrating their union with 200 guests at the Safisa banquet hall, one of the city’s most prestigious venues.
Guests walked beneath a ceiling draped in hundreds of crimson flowers before posing in front of a photo wall featuring large ‘K’ and ‘L’ initials in honour of the bride and groom.

No expense spared: The opulent ballroom was transformed into a floral wonderland for the nuptials. Flowers and crystal strings formed a canopy on the ceiling while the gold geometric floor tiles added to the over-the-top aesthetic
Karen is believed to be the youngest son of real estate mogul Samvel Karapetyan, 52, whose estimated $4.6billion (£2.9billion) fortune places him in 32nd place on Forbes list of Russian billionaires.
Samvel, who lives in Moscow, but originally hails from Armenia, owns real estate firm Tashir Group which possesses 33 shopping centers, four office complexes, and eight hotels across Russia.
He threw a similarly lavish bash for his eldest son, Sargis Karapetyan, when he married Georgian bride Salome Kintsurashvili in a $2million (£1.3million) ceremony at the same venue last year.

So it is perhaps of little surprised that nothing was too much when it came to his youngest child’s wedding.
Notable guests included Russian President Vladimir Putin’s PR representative Dmitry Peskov, 49, his wife, Olympic ice dance medallist Tatiana Navka, 42, and starlet Vera Brezhneva, 35, who was once named as Russia’s Sexiest Woman.
Russian socialite Ksenia Sobchak compared part of the evening. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, 63, who succeeded Karen’s uncle, also called Karen, in the post, was also in attendance.
Celebrations: Dancers and well-wishers lined the way as the bride and groom made their way into the church in Moscow

The bride and groom were greeted by dancers and well-wishers in the courtyard outside the church as they made their way arm-in-arm down the aisle.
Once inside the church, high-profile guests watched as the bride and groom walked arm-in-arm down the aisle lined in artificial candles and lavish bouquets.
A magnificent heart-shaped floral archway formed the centrepiece of the church.
Afterwards the couple were captured gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes as they arrived at the ballroom to start the evening of festivities.
Guests walked into the venue beneath a canopy of thousands of flowers before making their way up a staircase lined with flowers.
