The 10 most expensive wedding dresses of all time

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a wedding dress that may or may not cost more than your average family-sized home. For the handful of people in the world lucky enough to have a *the limit does not exist* wedding budget, expensive wedding dresses are the norm and if the bride wants a dress adorned with diamonds, crystals, and a 30-foot train, well, bring on the bling.

Whether the occasion is a royal wedding or the joining of Hollywood’s elite, these affluent brides took their big days to a whole new, extraordinarily expensive dimension.
