David Tutera Unveils $500,000 Wedding Gown

The grand finale at the "David Tutera by Faviana" wedding dress collection runway show on September 22, 2009 at Gotham Hall in New York City was a real showstopper. The dress, shown above, is a one-of-a-kind platinum wedding gown. The gown includes a platinum-colored tulle veil and bouquet to match. It is drenched in jewelry drama with 10 feet of platinum chain, 33 carats of diamonds, 145.84 carats of aquamarine, white keshi pearls and topped with a stunning white south sea pearl pendant suspended from platinum. The dress was a collaboration between Tutera, a wedding planner and host of WEtv's "My Fair Wedding" and red-carpet jewelry designer, Erica Courtney. It is valued at $501,640 and is available for purchase at Michael C. Fina at 545 Fifth Ave New York, NY.

The dress is beautiful! The reason it costs so much is because it has real diamonds all over it. I would never spend that much on a dress either. But Victoria's Secret unleashed a diamond covered bra....who would wear that either. Stuff like this is made more for showing them off. I don't think to actually be worn. I am sure a celeb would wear it!

I'm a wedding planner myself and can understand why such a dress was made. Yes, the dress isn't something I would purchase for myself, but there is some girl out there who would see this as beautiful and might even purchase it. That doesn't mean she is putting a price on her marriage nor does it mean it's going to last just a year. There are just as many couples who spend $50 on their Las Vegas drive thru weddings who divorce as there are people who spend hundreds of thousands on their special day. Don't judge. The negative comments are totally unneccessary. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a piece of shit.
