Kyle Sandilands shares the eye-watering price breakdown of his wedding to Tegan Kynaston
Kyle Sandilands has revealed the exorbitant amount he has spent on his upcoming wedding to fiancé Tegan Kynaston.
On Monday’s Kyle And Jackie O Show, the radio titan and his co-host Jackie “O” Henderson challenged listeners to guess the cost of specific elements of Kyle’s wedding in a game called “Higher or Lower.”
‘Do you know where I made the mistake? When I first met the wedding planner and wedding stylist… they said, “Okay, what budget are we on?” and I said, ‘There’s no budget,'” Sandilands said at the beginning of the segment.
As the quiz went on, it became clear that Sandilands may have poured as much as a million dollars into the lavish affair.
One of the most expensive features was the floral arrangements, which cost a whopping $150,000.

Henderson, who spent just $80,000 on her wedding to ex-husband Lee, was stunned by the price tag and asked Sandilands, “150,000 for something that dies a few days later?”
“Well, everybody can take home flowers and stuff,” Sandilands shrugged.
Tegan’s wedding dress costs less than $50,000, while the bridal party and pageboy suits cost more than $15,000.

The entertainment, which included renting multiple stages, audio equipment, and sound trucks, meanwhile cost more than $100,000.
Sandilands also hired several instrumentalists, saying, “There are saxophone guys, there are string quartets. It’s something big.’
Sandilands clarified that he actually saved money on the artist fees, as his pop star friends Guy Sebastian, Conrad Sewell and Samantha Jade had agreed to perform for free.

The wedding stylist’s fee was less than $250,000, while the food — which included an oyster bar and caviar — cost less than $75,000.
Sandilands revealed he spent less than $120,000 on security details, including 15 private security guards and members of the NSW and federal police.
The combined cost of the videographer and photographer was less than $80,000, while the wedding invitations cost less than $15,000.
Sandilands also said his wedding cake, which he described as a “five-tiered monster,” cost more than $8K.
A live organist also set the couple back $3,000.
However, there was one detail that Sandilands managed to get for free: the couple’s wedding rings.
Sandilands confirmed that well-known jeweler House of K’Dor had given the rings for free as a thank you for being a long time customer.
He then revealed that Tegan’s ring was a delicate band while his was much flashier.
“Tegan likes dainty looking jewelry, apart from the engagement ring, that’s a monster. But she doesn’t like too big,’ he explained.
“And then I have a platinum ring surrounded by black diamonds,” Sandilands said of his wedding ring.
It comes after the couple published a David Jones registry listing gifts they would like to receive at their wedding.
The registry states that while guests are not required to bring gifts, there are some items they can choose from if they “press.”
The list includes 38 items totaling a whopping $14,340, including Waterford crystal glasses and vases, bath mats, and a Nespresso machine.
The happy couple will marry on April 29.
