Most Expensive Wedding Dress

Written by: jeremy Filed Under: Fashion, Luxury, World on September 3rd, 2007

A wedding is an expensive occasion for even the most humble bride and groom. Imagine, then, the wedding that includes the most expensive wedding dress in the world. The Diamond Wedding Gown is a collaboration of Renee Strauss, owner of a highly successful bridal salon in Beverly Hills, and Martin Katz, who deals in rare jewels. Featuring 150 carats of diamonds, the dress is valued at US $12 million.

The world’s most expensive wedding gown was unveiled at the premier Luxury Brands Lifestyle Bridal show in February of 2006. Later in the year, Dubai’s Fashion & Diamonds show also featured a gown touted as the world’s most expensive wedding dress. Yumi Katsura’s design, however, is only valued at $8.5 million. Despite being only the second most expensive wedding dress, it features 1,000 pearls and one of the world’s only two 5 carat white gold diamonds.

    nice dress, but the thing is , can be bought by Billgates, could be less expensive as well..

    oh by the way, just a query, can you design adress made of steel and the keep the cost same..

  16. Posted by morgan 14th January, 2009 at 1:19 am

    Oh ya, girls notice that this dress has never been mentioned anywhere ever on any designer web. Don’t go with what everybody is envious of. Go with what you are in love with for you!!! It does not matter if you spend$300.00 or $12,000,000.00!!! Do you!!!!!!!!

  24. Posted by tokiohotelfreakk 14th June, 2009 at 1:27 pm

    The dress is okay looking. I think it has too much going on. I am having my dress custom made. My mom’s friend is a designer and she said she will make the dress and make some design ideas. This one looks heavy and uncomfortable though. I don’t think it is that cute either. What a waste of diamonds and pearls! They could be on your ring!!

  25. Posted by ayesha 20th June, 2009 at 7:03 am

    u guys must have donated that money to the poor
    instead of wasting it on a dress

  26. Posted by Shacoya 29th June, 2009 at 9:23 am

    (:

  30. Posted by Michele 11th July, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    Well, the dress is pretty… I only spend $175 on my Renaissance gown and it was much nicer! I’d rather spend the money on diamond jewelry that I could wear every day, you can’t really wear this dress every day! LOL

  31. Posted by Kaylee 30th July, 2009 at 1:10 am

    That thing is uggggggggggggggllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

    Well, if you think about it, you are only going to wear your wedding dress once or twice, but man…….I am sure that that dress would be worth the BIG price! I mean, look at its beauty!

  44. Posted by Mandy 31st October, 2009 at 2:26 pm

  51. Posted by Laura Theus 17th December, 2009 at 5:14 pm

    A dancer at my studio showed me this dress and loves it! I, on the other hand, say SHAME ON YOU for spending money like that on a wedding dress in this economy! There are people losing their jobs, going hungry, and homeless children. It’s great if you have it, but vulgarly over the top.

  52. Posted by Hali Benton 23rd December, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    I love this dress it is soo beautiful!!!!!

  53. Posted by Amiee 31st December, 2009 at 2:04 am

    I love this dress! I am learning to be a designer myself! Its very unique, but it may be a little too cheap. Everything could break off easily like the diamonds so to speak, and i think it would be better off with more detail so that it could raise its really low price for a dress like this

  54. Posted by Mimi 3rd January, 2010 at 4:21 am

    Such a waste of money!!!! It’s not even that pretty!!!! I have seen much prettier dresses with prices not even close to this!!! Why would you spend so much money on something you’ll only wear once in your life!!! Buy a fancy ring that you can show off all the instead!! :P

  55. Posted by Mimi 3rd January, 2010 at 4:22 am

    time* :)

  59. Posted by brooklynn 15th February, 2010 at 10:30 pm

    that is so ugly never never never

  60. Posted by sphinx04 2nd March, 2010 at 9:14 am

    i never wanted the dress itself. the design is not a work of art. the diamonds just do it.
