10. Amal Alamuddin – $380,000

8. Kate Middleton – $388,000
Kate Middleton’s royal wedding to Prince William back in 2011 may have spurred a lot of attention, but we have to agree that a lot of it goes to the now duchess and the dress she was wearing, an Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton. The dress was indeed fit for a royal wedding and featured a narrow waist, long lace sleeves, full skirt and a 9 feet long train. The price tag of Kate’s wedding dress rose to $388,000.
7. Kim Kardashian – $500,000
As Kim Kardashian has proved at her wedding back in 2014, you don’t need to be a royal to have a super expensive wedding dress. Her dress, a custom made Givenchy gown by Ricardo Tisci, upped the game with a price tag of no less than $500,000. But that’s something normal when you think of Kim Kardashian and her inability to keep things simple in her wardrobe.
6. Madina Shokirova – $628,000
Madina Shokirova, daughter of a Russian oil tycoon named Ilkhom Shokirova, got hitched in Moscow wearing a gown that cost close to $628,000. The stunning off-the-shoulder gown was created by British designer Ralph & Russo and features hundreds of pearls and Swarovski crystals, natch.
5. Victoria Swarovski – $1 million
As most of you might expect, the Australian singer and crystal heiress Victoria Swarovski went overboard with her 500,000 embedded crystals dress and upped her wedding gown price to the mark of $1 million. Yes, it’s one of the most expensive wedding dresses of all time, and yes, she could have done with a lot less crystals than the ostentatious 500,000, but that’s what happens when your name is Swarovski.
4. Angelababy – $1.5 million
One of Hong Kong’s most renowned person in the entertainment industry, the model, actress and singer Angela Yeung Wing, or better known as Angelababy, had her wedding in 2015. During the event, she wore a custom Dior dress that took designers almost five months to complete. It was created out of 115 feet of ivory satin organza and 165 feet of tulle with a 10 foot long train, so it’s no wonder the whole dress was evaluated at around $1.5 million. The cost isn’t official, but when your entire wedding bill rose to $31 million, your dress wouldn’t score too low for sure.
3. Peacock Wedding Dress – $1.5 million
Hand sewn from more than 2,000 peacock feathers, this wedding dress, created by renown fashion designer Vera Wong, took the creators eight months to complete. The wedding dress was revealed at a wedding expo in Nanjing, the capital of China’s Jiangsu Province.
2. Yumi Katsura White Gold Wedding Dress – $8.5 million

There are only two dresses like this in the whole world and each comes with a hefty price tag of $8.5 million.
1. The Diamond Wedding Gown – $12 million
The ever popular Beverly Hills designers Renee Strauss and Martin Kratz, have managed to create the most expensive wedding dress to date.
