Lauren Sánchez has shared the first photo from her Venice wedding to husband Jeff Bezos.
Shortly after tying the knot with Bezos on Friday, June 27, Sánchez — who officially confirmed her marriage by changing her Instagram handle and name in bio to "Lauren Sánchez Bezos" just hours after the ceremony— posted her first wedding photo with the billionaire Amazon founder.
"06/27/2025 ♥️," the bride wrote in the caption of her post.

She shared a photo from the outdoor garden ceremony, which PEOPLE confirmed took place on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy. Sánchez smiled beside Bezos wearing a lace wedding dress featuring sheer lace sleeves, a mermaid-style silhouette and 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons running down the front.
Just minutes after Sánchez posted, Vogue shared all the wedding dress details in its June 2025 digital cover story. More than a year and a half ago, Sánchez met with Domenico Dolce in New York to start crafting her dream Dolce&Gabbana gown.
"It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now," Sánchez told the outlet. "I am a different person than I was five years ago."
She added that it would be the first formal dress she's ever worn that is so covered up across the chest.
"It is a departure from what people expect," she said, "from what I expect—but it's very much me."
She topped the look with a tulle-and-lace veil, "inspired by the one Sophia Loren wore in the 1958 film Houseboat," per Vogue.

The nuptials come after a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Sánchez and Bezos were engaged in May 2023. The pair were on vacation in the South of France when Bezos proposed. They first went public with their relationship in January 2019.
Bezos popped the question with a ring estimated to be about 30 carats set on a four-prong platinum mounting.
Jeweler and expert Briony Raymond told PEOPLE at the time that because of the ring's high color grade and clarity, it was estimated to have cost "anywhere from $3 million to upwards of $5 million depending on the exact specifications of the diamond."
Following news of their engagement, a source told PEOPLE they were "on cloud nine" and "so happy and madly in love."
In a profile for Vogue's December issue that year, Sánchez said they were taking wedding planning slow and making every decision step-by-step.
"We're still thinking about the wedding, what it's going to be. Is it going to be big? Is it going to be overseas? We don't know yet," she said. "We've only been engaged five months!"
