A wedding dress should normally be regarded as priceless, however, for those lucky enough to be couture collectors, this ‘pricelessness’ can be worth millions of dollars. The most expensive wedding dresses are far from simply made of lace, tulle, and white silk but instead include ensembles crafted with diamonds or real gold thread embroidery. Here are some of the extravagant picks topping the list.
Chinese model and actress Angelababy and her Dior wedding gown, reported to be part of the $31 million wedding, top the list. The wedding dress used around 165 feet of tulle, 115 feet of ivory satin organza, and about 100 hand-cut bouquets of Chantilly lace roses, finishing the gown with a 10-foot royal train. However, there is no confirmed price tag for the dress alone, but looking at the $31 million figure, fashion experts truly felt the gown could possibly be around $15 million. The Japanese designer Yumi Katsura created the amazing White Gold Diamond Dress with a price tag of around $8.5 million. This incredible dress used a 5-carat white gold diamond, an 8.8-carat green diamond, and a total of more than 1,000 pearls.
The custom-made Dior gown she wore for her marriage to Huang Xiaoming was a strapless, ivory creation. This is the point where wedding fashion completely loses its mind, but in the best way possible. However, there is a little twist. The dress was made just as a showpiece and was never worn by an actual bride.
This marvellous creation, designed by Renée Strauss and crafted by Martin Katz, is studded with 150 carats of diamonds and costs about $12 million. It was commissioned for a luxury wedding exhibition instead of any wedding ceremony therefore, this dress can be counted among the most extravagant yet impractical pieces of bridal fashion in history.
