Bachelorette Weds in Pricey TV Nuptials

Dec. 10 -- Bachelorette Trista Rehn may be really into pink, but her wedding cost an awful lot of green.

The star of The Bachelorette had her favorite color everywhere at her wedding to Ryan Sutter, a one-of-a-kind, multi-million dollar affair for reality television's royal couple, paid for by ABC Television.

There were pink jellybeans for guests at the end of the night, pink linens, pink chair covers, pink flowers, pink matchbook boxes, pink party favors and pink ribbons going everywhere. Rehn even considered, and rejected, the idea of putting pink soup on the menu. The only problem is that Sutter hates pink.

"We have tried to put pink everywhere we know Ryan won't get angry with us," said Mindy Weiss, wedding coordinator, during the preparations.

Fans of the show can watch the wedding special on ABC tonight from 9 to 11 p.m. ET. The bash actually took place Saturday at the Lodge at Rancho Mirage, a hotel and resort near Palm Springs, Calif. The posh resort was shut down for the big event, in which the couple exchanged vows in front of television cameras and 300 guests.

Treated Like Royalty

From the favors to the flowers, it was a fancy, and pricey, affair. The bridesmaid's favors were a pink Jelly Kelly bag containing a cosmetic bag, a picture of each bridesmaid with Rehn and Sutter. Inside the cosmetic bag was a pink bag containing a diamond initialed necklace. The groomsmen made out pretty well, too. Their gifts, none of which were pink, were tucked inside a backpack, and included two ski lift tickets to Vail and a watch.

Mark Held, the florist, said that he ordered tens of thousands of pink flowers that were flown in just for the big day.

"Trista loves roses, whites, pinks, light pinks very blushy colors," Held said. "Over 30,000 were all flown in from Ecuador and Holland. We've got three trucks loaded to the gills and ready to go."
