Wedding dresses come in many different shapes, sizes, styles and designs but all have one thing in common; they are made to make the bride look and feel beautiful on her wedding day. For some women the perfect dress will break the mold completely, whereas others will desire a classic look. Whichever type of dress the bride decides upon it will be the most remembered aspect of her wedding; as such they can command a high price tag and often leave a rather sizable dent in the wedding funds.

Brides from wealthy families often wore wedding dresses in expensive fabrics and rich colors and have been known to be overtly lavish, expensive and extremely grand. These dresses are unique and only the rich and famous can afford them. Not only do these dresses surpass all others in cost but they scream of luxury and class.
