Reality star was just married over the weekend in Florence, Italy but she is already making chnages in her life.

Her Twitter and Instagram handles has her new husband Kanye West's surname.

The 33-year-old transformed into Kim Kardashian West on Wednesday on the social media sites while still in Ireland on her honeymoon.

The brunette beauty, who has 11-month-old daughter North with Kanye, previously revealed she wanted to legally have the same last name as her third husband and daughter.

She told E! News: "It'll be Kim Kardashian West. Not hyphened. Maybe make [Kardashian], like, the middle."

Kim, 33, and Kanye are currently enjoying an adventurous honeymoon in Ireland, where they rented bikes and hired a local guide to go mountain biking with four security guards and personal assistants in the Ballyhoura Mountains in County Limerick at 8am on Tuesday (27.05.14).

Fergal Somers, manager of the local tourism organisation, Ballyhoura Failte, told the MailOnline: "They had four staff with them. They hired bikes for €35 and a guide for €75."

The 36-year-old rapper fell in love with the area after visiting it following his concert in nearby Cork in July 2009.

Mr. Somers said: "They only booked the day before. They went hiking and biking, as this area is well known for it. One of the party had visited the region before - so knew about us that way.

"The guide said they had an absolute blast. He took them to the pub afterwards where they had a pint of Guinness I believe."

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty and the 'New Slaves' hitmaker also feasted on a picnic of local produce, including sandwiches, tarts and homemade apple juice, prepared by The Bakehouse in Bruff, Co Limerick.

The newlyweds, who flew into Ireland at 6am on Sunday (25.05.14) via private jet, stayed in the exclusive Castle Oliver, a privately-owned residence in Ardpatrick, Co Limerick for two nights.

But, according to the Irish Independent newspaper, they have now moved on to Co. Kerry and will spend a night in Dublin before jetting to Prague for his stylist's wedding next Saturday (31.05.14).

THE Wedding Expenditure:
 
Three days after her Florentine wedding, Kim Kardashian's wedding dress pictures are out.
 
The 33-year-old bride and her bestie Jonathan Cheban shared gorgeous pictures of her wedding dress via Instagram, while West revealed the same images via Twitter.

The custom haute couture Givenchy gown by Riccardo Tisci featured long sleeves, a sheer lace back, and a long train.
 
Kardashian also wore ivory satin four-inch heels created for her by Giuseppe Zanotti.
 
Small panels of a sheer lace decorated the arm and also accentuated her slimmed down waist.

 
The backless dress was long-sleeved with a train, while a dramatic flowing white cathedral-length silk veil completed the look. The bride's hair was worn loose and long, with her make-up restrained and flawless.

Her exquisite white lace designer gown cost a cool $500,000 while the 16th century picturesque Italian venue set them back another $410,000.

But this, it seems, was small change for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West when it came to splashing the cash for their wedding in Florence last weekend.

The opulent nuptials cost a whopping $12 million according to reports, with hotels, private jets and that 7ft vanilla and berry cake all adding to the cost.
