David Tutera Unveils $500,000 Wedding Gown

Filed under: Apparel, Jewelry


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 Expensive Wedding Dress We'll Never See

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping

Fashion designer Vera Wang is famous for her extravagant wedding dresses but the most expensive dress she ever made is one we never got to see. In an interview on CNBC's "Conversations with Michael Eisner" that will air Monday, Vera Wang said the that the dress she created for Jennifer Lopez's canceled wedding to Ben Affleck was the most expensive she ever made. The dress was made of couture fabric and had 18 tiers. Wang says that it was the most expensive and the most time consuming to sew. I wonder what ever happened to the dress, was it destroyed or is it somewhere in Vera Wang's archives?

A Wedding Dress with 4 Pounds of Jewels

Filed under: Apparel

Wedding dresses come in all shapes and sizes from sleek and stylish to large and marshmallow-like, and from hand-embroidered to mass-produced. And although jewels aren't that uncommon in small doses, what about 4 pounds of jewels? A designer in Hong Kong has created a wedding dress with 9,999 karats of jewels (that's a very deliberate number!) and it's on sale for over $130,000.

It's beautiful but I personally wouldn't want a wedding dress with so many different colors, and I think for that price it might be more worth it to just get something custom-made -- I think I'd still be able to afford plenty of jewels.
