Benny Blanco took care of all the wedding planning for his “very eclectic” nuptials to Selena Gomez, where Taylor Swift gave an “emotional” speech.
About 170 were in attendance Sunday as the music mega-producer, 37, and 33-year-old Emmy nominee tied the knot in Santa Barbara, Calif., an insider told Us Weekly.
Despite the abundance of stars on the guest list, Swift being among them, “the wedding was pretty simple and not your typical ‘celebrity’ lavish wedding,” said the source.

Newly engaged Swift, 35, was not a bridesmaid but gave a “very emotional” speech as did Ed Sheeran, according to TMZ.
The Us source said that Mark Ronson served as DJ while Gomez’s “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars Steve Martin and Paul Rudd were also there, as was Paris Hilton, with all three enjoying the Jewish traditional dance, the hora, in a nod to Blanco’s Jewish heritage.
“Everyone was dancing barefoot, having the best time,” said the insider.
Gomez was reportedly “sobbing … so hard” during her vows — as was “everyone” — and “bawled her eyes out” during her now-husband’s “much shorter” vows.
The “eclectic” style took into account Blanco’s aversion to wearing shoes, a style choice both husband and wife kept up for much of the night, which was catered by Nobu.
“They had rugs and carpet everywhere,” said the insider, adding there were velvet couches “everywhere” as well as Persian rugs.
“I married a real life Disney princess,” Blanco captioned a carousel of wedding weekend photos in a nod to Gomez’s Disney Channel past.
