Something About the Most Expensive Wedding Dresses in the World

No matter who you are, the bridal wedding dress is going to make a large dent in your budget and as plenty of a man has discovered, whether they be the bride's brother or the groom who are paying for it, they finish up being highly perplexed that a dress which is only to be worn six times can cost a lot money. When you are dealing with cost issues in your wedding, it may help you to think about that these things, and the marriage dress ranks high up there with them, are not a lot about "cost" as about the worth they give - the look and feeling they give to the bride, the groom and the assembled cast who are participating in the marriage.
As the credit card commercial says, "Priceless!"
From the humble wedding to the sublime or ridiculous, you can take your pick; they have the marriage dresses where money is clearly no object and nothing has been spared for delivering the final creation.
The most expensive wedding dress in the world to date is the USD $12 million creation, known as The Diamond Wedding Gown, which was the result of collaboration between Renee Strauss (owner of a brilliant successful, wedding salon in Beverley Hills) and Martin Katz, a rare jewel dealer. The dress itself makes use of over 150 carats of diamonds and to give you an idea of what this means, the typical engagement ring never hits a full carat and hovers around the half-carat mark.
Coming down to the mid-range in terms of expense, they have the Peacock Feather Wedding Dress which was launched in 2009 and contains 2009 peacock feathers to commemorate the year. For a miserly USD $1.5 million you can have the final in mating display for your wedding day and for the non-traditionalists, it is not white. One word of caution here, with a display of male peacock feathers of such grandeur, you ought to not be so surprised to find the bride being trailed by a long line of brown hens!
They must take all of these dollar values with a pinch of salt given the recent economic wrangling; Vera Wang who is the marriage dress designer to the stars and claimed the most expensive dress they is ever made was the unused wedding dress for the J-Lo/Affleck marriage that never was, is now selling her wedding dresses at a 50% discount compared to last year.
The Diamond wedding dress was premiered in 2008 and took the title of the most expensive wedding dress in the world from a design by Yumi Katsura of Japan. Her creation followed the same traditional white design as The Diamond Wedding Gown, but came in at a trifling USD $8.5 million though it does lay claim to containing over 1,000 pearls and one of only six 5 carat white gold diamonds in the world.
Finally, there is a chance for all of us to get into something, expensively uncomfortable, and then hang it in the closet for the remainder of our lives!
