While it’s hard to imagine a time before Kim Kardashian, 37, was married to Kanye West, it’s impossible to forget the reality star’s blink-and-you-missed-it 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, 33, back in 2011.
It was a beautiful — and televised — ceremony, filled with celebrity guests and lavish embellishments. And now, seven years later, fans have the chance to own a piece of the event.
Rrivre Davies, who designed the August 2011 nuptials, in unloading several pieces of decor he used for the wedding and held onto for all this time. He’ll be auctioning off pillows, furniture, and even the giant cross under which the former couple said their short-lived vows.
Nuptials: Premiere Props will be auctioning of the collection of event designer Rrivre Davies, who designed the August 2011 wedding of Kim Kardashian 37, and Kris Humphries, 33

The auction will be held by Premiere Props, which will be putting over 50,000 items from Rrivre Davies’s collection up for bidding — a selection of which are from Kim and Kris’ wedding.
Though listing for the items aren’t yet up on the company’s site, Rrivre has offered a preview to fans, showing of monogrammed pillows and several other items that Keeping Up With the Kardashian fans may recognize.
‘These silk pillows were custom-made with the monogram that was used all over the wedding,’ Rrivre told People. The cushions were also ‘made with metallic silver thread in the background design to make sure the bling factor was present even here’.
And as for the cross, Rrivre said he designed it to look oversized because the ‘scale of the venue’ was so big.

All in the family: Other items include a couch from Khloe Kardashian’s 2015 yacht-themed birthday party, which she threw for then-boyfriend James Harden
‘This is the cross that hung above Kris and Kim as they wed. The scale of the venue was quite large, so I designed this cross as over-sized. I took inspiration from historic Armenian crosses to conceptualize this piece,’ he said.
Designer: On Monday, Rrivre, the founder and owner of Rrivre Works Inc Design Innovation Laboratory and rentals, announced his retirement
‘The construction is solid wood, shaped to have dimensions so that from any angle you see the bling of the crystals. The bling greets the old world cross with new world opulent flair.’
Other items being auctioned in the collection include pieces from h Khloe Kardashian’s 2015 yacht-themed birthday party, which she threw for then-boyfriend James Harden. Those items include a couch that had to be carried up the third floor.
‘For this party, we had to create a lounge on the third-story rooftop deck of a yacht. Even the owners of the yacht, which is designed for events, said it could not be done. They didn’t know us,’ he said.
‘We simply calculated the weight of the pieces we needed, created custom slings for them, tied ropes, and had an army of men hoisting them up 40 feet along the outside of the boat. No need to deal with the narrow staircases and tight corners on the interior.’
There will also be a table from the yacht party, as well as a ‘Bourne’ — a sort of round cushioned seat — once used by Khloe.

Cozy: The collection will also have a ‘bourne’ used by Khloe, which Rrivre described as ‘stately and inviting’
Chandeliers and couches from Kaley Cuoco’s 2014 wedding to Ryan Sweeting will also be auctioned, along with items from Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s ‘speakeasy vibe’ birthday party for husband Justin Mikita in 2015.
The auction will take place between July 28 and 29 at the memorabilia store located in Los Angeles.
On Monday, Rrivre, the event designer founder and owner of Rrivre Works Inc. Design Innovation Laboratory and rentals, announced his retirement from the event rental company, according to ABC 7.
The auction later next month will be to commemorate his retirement and share his esteemed collection of rentals and unique designs that he created with the world.
