My dress cost a whopping $35.00 from J C Penney's clearance rack listed in the catalog for 90.00. I still have the dress and the same husband I married nearly 50 years ago! BTW it still fits too!
Mine was a Gunne Sax, fine batiste fabric, high neck with an illusion yoke, no train. Bought in a junior store in the mall for around $100-150; veil was a clearance find , maybe $25. Slip, shoes, dress and veil maybe $250-300, wedding total maybe $800. Still married 35 yrs later, been through the sickness and health thanks to finding out I had cancer, richer or poorer with an emphasis on the poor. My cousin had a big lace southern Belle gown, hat to match, the whole nine yards; divorced within a year after he became physically abusive.
@@pamfink4052 thanks for sharing your story. Congratulations on your marriage. Sorry about your cancer. I hope you are now cancer free🙏. Marriage isn't about the dress or rings or even the reception or the after parties. It's a union. It takes work, trust, compassion, love, understanding, forgiveness and respect. You don't give up because something doesn't go your way. People think everything is disposal now a days. No work involved. I once seen a billboard on the freeway that read "You had a really nice wedding, now invite me to the marriage. Signed God". Yes, I can totally relate I had a cousin who's dad, my uncle took out a second mortgage on his house so she could have a fancy show off, look at me wedding. My mother told him that was stupid. It lasted less than 3 years and they divorced. My Uncle had to worked 2 jobs and my aunt went back to work to paid it all off. 6 months after he paid it off he had a massive heart attack and died. Did she appreciate it no, she never offered to help with the expenses. I'm sure your gunne sak was beautiful. I made my own veil, I think I spent around 8.00 for the lace, tule, headband and silk flowers. I bought my white satin heels from Baker's shoe store in the mall for $10.00. my dress is a hi-lo, all lace with long sleeves, higher neckline and a big bow in the back. I had an under slip. My husband bought a tux from a going out of business sale for $39.99 the shirt, tie, cumberbund and shoes were an extra 20.00 because they labeled them used. I think we spent 40-50 on the flowers. My bouquet and his boutonniere sits in my china cabinet next to a little blown glass wishing well he bought me for our 1st anniversary. I think he paid 40.00 to the pastor who married us. We chose not to have a reception or take a honeymoon instead we dined at a really nice restaurant. So all the money we could have spent bought a house, a few car and put 3 kids through college over the years. I wish you many more happy years together in your marriage. 😊
I attended the wedding of a friend's daughter back in 1992; the dress cost $25,000 back then. The bride and groom went on a 2 week honeymoon; when they returned, the bride got off the plane and IMMEDIATELY went to a lawyer and filed for divorce. Groom turned out to be a real creep/pervert. The dress is of no value whatsoever in a marriage
Its what a person wants for their big day that matters. If they want a 1mil dress and they can afford it, who is anyone to judge that. Its a personal choice, your opinion about really dont matter. Even of she got married in a cotton sheet she still would've divorce and then were you goanna have a nasty comment about the sheet too? Grow up people and let people enjoy their money
I found my dress on a clearance rack at a bridal shop in New Orleans. I paid 50 bucks for it back in 1985. I thought it was the prettiest dress I had ever seen, and felt so lucky to find it cause I didn't have much money to spend. Still married to the same man. We've had our ups and downs but who hasn't?
Right! And if there are some who claim they have never had any crazy stuff to deal with or any issues that can only mean one thing....they are nuttier than fruitcakes and their brand of crazy is the scariest! Only truly whacked out weirdos claim to be perfect ...nothing is wrong ....surrrre there isnt! Lol like my best friend and i were just joking about the other day when hearing about my family members recent visit with the wealthiest family members on vacation ...fake phoney balonies we said oh brother the most beautiful interior decorated homes the property they sit on the number of bedrooms giest rooms the size of their pools the staircases the meals the kitchen the dining room the accommodations and amenities etc etc just perfect to which our response was boulderdash, poppycock,rubbish, a rouse hoodwinked hornswaggling facade well orchestrated illusion of sunshine lollipops rainbows everywhere brighter than a lucky penny did they have their own theme song were butterflies flying arouhd them everywhere they went? When they passed gas we bet poofs of sparkling pixy dust came out instead and smelled like vanilla cake frosting cotton candy and fresh baked blueberry pie filled the air... when they disagree with each other they start to build another house, or travel to buy land and shop....shop...or hop an airplane to go to a baseball or football or basketball game! Then go on a shopping spree in new york or paris! Ugh. Sticking my finger down my throat! Disgusting!
I saw a pretty wedding dress in a thrift shop too, but I wasn't dating anyone at the time. A woman I had worked for had bought her gown at a thrift shop and she came from a wealthy family. It doesn't matter how much you spend, or how little you spend on things. I say just enjoy the day and who you are marrying for life. You should be at ease and only a bit nervous. Quality over quantity.
My other fashion brands closed because my husband was into anything Kenneth Beale jr to walk with her and propose to children with fake ages at Greenwood middle school . I was forced to turn my cortillions black . In the Ms delay but I was really in the white ones. He never pay for my stuff at all . Jesse Duplantis has and everyone else I was really with.
I've been to dozens of wedding but I can't remember a single wedding dress the bride wore. The thing that people STILL remember from my wedding 19 years ago is how delicious the dessert bar was.
My wedding dress cost $100 for the fabric which was Silk Velvet, our wedding day was in winter. I chose a single white orchid on my prayer book. My husband wore his military dress uniform. My Maid of Honour and Flower-girls all wore A-line long gowns in silk velvet and carried hand-muffs. I had exquisite wedding shoes that didn't break the bank along with a gorgeous silk satin coat dress with suede bag and matching shoes to go a way in. I needed a long dress for my best friends Debutante Ball shortly after our wedding and couldn't afford to buy anything, so I took the train off the back of my dress, closed up the seam, replaced a single row of daisy lace under the A-line bust with black velvet ribbon. I selected a cameo brooch on black velvet chocker necklace with matching earrings in black. I think I got my monies worth out of my wedding dress. To top it all off, we have been married 51 years. We have had a very adventurous life together and now in retirement, there isn't a single thing remaining on our bucket list. Many girls have alway dreamt of their fairy like wedding day. For most it's all about their big day and themselves, many competing to have a bigger and more expensive wedding than their friends. It's never about the reason for their big day. A day that should be all about love, commitment to the one you love, along with family and friends to celebrate with. Everything on our wedding day was full of love and meaning. I honestly feel young women today are guided by the over commercialized wedding magazines. Magazines published for the only purpose of parting foolishly women from hard earned money. These top ten wedding gowns while absolutely stunning and beautiful, merely show off how rich their parents are. Just remember, money doesn't buy you love.
Amal's dress was stunning. Kates dress was classic and elegant. Kim's dress was a half million dollar hot mess!!! One of THE ugliest dresses ever seen!!
Yeah. These dresses didn't look much different from around 2000-4000 dollar range. You can get quite close replicas prob. super low price compared to these. Quality of course will be worse, but look in photos prob similar enough. I just don't get personally the hype of covering your clothes with diamonds or gold etc.
I wore a timeless, high necked, long sleeved, slim fitted white Brussels lace on white silk designer cocktail sheath off the rack on sale at Nieman's. Breathtaking and comparatively very inexpensive ! I wore it afterwards, then had it dyed ecru and finally black and wore it for years. My friends laughed saying I'd be buried in it ! Always complimented, wore like iron, great to accessorize and go to any event dressed up or down. What a dress, often my lifesaver.
You said it ...They are all beautiful dresses but I would never spend that kind of money on a dress if I had it... Marrying the right person is half the battle ..good communication, being honest ,loyal ,faithful ,kind ,caring ..listening and off course someone you are madly in love with....and with God in the center of your life...
We've been together 28 years. Got married at the courthouse and hosted a dinner at a restaurant for the bridal party. When it's true love, you don't need to show off to the world.
And are these people going to be happy in their marriage? The dress does not make the wedding! The people do. An expensive dress and the obscene amount of money spent on all these "costumes" are no guarantees of happily ever after. The Beatles said it best, "Money can't buy you love!"
My gown was $325.00 and my husband to be bought it for me, (that was about two weeks worth of pay) and that was 40 years ago. I would marry him again in a potato sack, I hit the husband lottery!
Givenchy is pronounced with a French “J” sound, a soft “jz” made with the tip of the tongue, almost like saying “shh.” So its “jzhiv-on-shee,” not GUH VINCHY. But it was funny to hear it said so many times!
$372,000----I could buy my dream truck (2022 Ram, fully decked out), the car I'd like (KIA Soul), and a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house in the area of my state I'd like to live in, and still have some money left over!! I sure wouldn't waste any of it on a bunch of (very ugly, in some instances) fabric and lace!
I think responsibly sourced dresses are the best route. Low cost wedding dresses are not benevolent either, as they are guaranteed to be made in sweatshops with no labor laws. With hundreds of thousands made each year, they are arguably more harmful than one expensive dress. On the other hand, a 12 million dress is an unnecessary flex of funds that could be used for charity. I say all this to say, make responsible decisions.
Some of the dresses aren't that pretty. Nuts to pay so much for a dress. I have seen beautiful dresses in Goodwill!!. Just saying. So many marriages don't last. Sad. Bet they wish they hadn't spent so much if that happens.
After a certain point, the price doesn't make the beauty of the dress. Some of those enourmously expensive dresses are just too much: too much fabric, too much bling ... takes away the elegance. Not mentionning the fact that the mere idea of wanting a wedding dress to be as expensive as possible, to show off on such a day that should be about love above all things, is vulgar per se. Of the ones featured here Kate Middleton's is my favourite by far: flattering for her, impressive enough yet remaining elegant... gorgeous.
I agree completely. The glitzy, sparkly one’s just look really tacky to me, but Kate’s was lovely one her and, I think, was very ‘her’. She looked beautiful, but also like herself. I thought the first dress shown was also elegant, but I didn’t like it as much as Kate’s.
I think it’s a case of focusing more on the wedding and not the marriage or relationship itself. I’ve known people who spent the equivalent of half of their salaries on the wedding alone and their marriages lasted maybe a couple of years. Then others spent maybe a few hundred to a few thousand and were happily married for 30+ years or are still married.
I spent $1000 on my dress and felt bad spending that! I know my friend spent $13000 on her dress. I was like WUT?! I spent $5000 total on my wedding! I cant imagine spending that much on a dress, let alone a wedding! My husband and I are still very much in love.
My dress cost me $160 back in 1975 and I thought it was a lot back then. I think it's ridiculous to spend so much money on a dress that's going to be worn once and for what, most get divorce anyways 😂
You could pay a million dollars for a gown but they’ll take your money the truth is every bride looks beautiful on their special day. You don’t need to be rich. Beauty is all around I’ve seen some beautiful women that looked like a million bucks I was one of them. So. Don’t under estimate who makes a more beautiful bride because of money it just isn’t true.
In a lot of those shots, the dresses were wearing them instead of them wearing the dress. I say if you buy it, base it on how you look in it, not how you think it will impress others. You could have copied those dresses with less expensive fabric and no one would have known the difference. Utter nonsense. Kate's was the only one I liked. Kim's looked as cheap & common as she is, and that peacock monstrosity was hideous!
My dress was FREE! 👍🏻 It was my sisters… who married 3 years before me. She of course, doesn’t have the dress…. since I wore it last…. but neither does she have her husband (whom we loved dearly)…. but 41 years later…. I still have mine!! 🙌🏻👩🏻❤️👨🏼 And I only WISHED I could still fit in it 😜
The bridal dresses in this video are very beautiful. However if I and my husband had to put out millions of dollars for one dress, then our daughters would have to sign a contract saying that they will have a bunch of daughters who will also wear the dress, and hand it down to their daughters to wear when they marry. Putting out millions for just one dress is huge investment that screams more than one bride needs to use the dress to make it worth the money put out on it. My Mothers bridal gown was to die for and so beautiful, and she did dream of me wearing her dress to get married. However it was not to be as the dress was size 8 and my Mother being five' eight inches tall meant the dress hem would have to be taken up quite a bit as I am five feet exactly. Her dress also would have to be altered to fit me as I weighed only 94 pounds. When I went shopping for a wedding dress the first place the man asked how much I weighed, I told him and he said we have nothing to fit you, and he referred me to another place, and sure enough that place also said they had nothing that would fit me, both places didn't even offer for me to try on a dress and offer alterations to make the dress fit me! The last place I went to also said that they didn't have wedding dress in my size, but if I saw anything I liked they would do the alterations at half price after hearing what I had been through. I did find a beautiful dress and they did do the alterations. My dress was heavy white silk with lace over the top and long sleeved as we got married December 27, 1979, in West Virginia where my husband was from. My dress and Lace veil cost me $300.00, my shoes only cost $35 dollars. I was so very happy!
My wedding dress was nothing I was thinking of. My mum dad and I went to the same store in Sydney my mum got hers from they show me a gown covered in crystals (I love bling) and I just said oh no then I seen one that had come in tried it on and that was that 2 piece beautiful ivory brocade with tiny gold stitching through it and a beautiful ball style skirt that had a small train that could be pinned up at back. It was simple but elegant and cost $1,500 the look on my parents face sealed the deal. I kept it for years but my friends mum makes memorabilia dresses etc and donates them to the Bonney babies foundation (early death born without breathe babies) they are just beautiful and very special I was so very happy seeing my gorgeous gown be passed on and given to families having to bare the unthinkable and lose a child.
I definitely want silk with embellishments. Diamonds? Who wouldn’t want that? I love the idea of amethysts with real flowers or large flowers with fabric to match!
So sad to see how much money some rich people spend for just not even one day! There are so many humans who die of hunger in the world ....I cannot continue to watch this video!!!
I know if it's your money you can buy anything you want BUT with the amount of people who are starving in this world this is real and these dresses are absurd!!
My mom made my sisters dress and veil for about $50.00 and I wore it too..it was beautiful ..I say..yes you can be beautiful without going to the poor house to get married..weddings are out of control!..
I don't understand these Bride/Groomzillas who spend tens of thousands of dollars on their weddings. And then the want their guests to buy them insanely expensive gifts on top of that.
It’s sick on so many levels think of what the money could buy it would help so many children in the world who are starving .so many people need medical help oh I could go on.I am sorry no dress is worth this amount of money. Worn for a day .yet it could give sight for ever for people suffering .i would be so ashamed if I spent this money on a wedding.
You are correct in everything you say, but it is their money or probably mommy and daddy's money so they spend as they see fit. Personally my belief is to skip the wedding go to a courthouse get it done skip the party and go somewhere you've never been before and have an amazing honeymoon.
You forget so many poor ppl don't think twice about bringing more children into this world, thereby also increasing the population of ppl stuck in poverty. A lot of them also don't care about uplifting their own lives and have a sense of entitlement thinking they have to be handed everything. Literally, we see such news all the time. Just last week some women vandalized a fast food chain over a dollar of ketchup packet saying it's too expensive and they deserve it for free. You speak as if by buying these dresses, the poor ppl become poorer? Doesn't make sense. At the end of the day, it's their money.
I don't care how rich people spend their money. It's theirs ... let them do as they want with it, as everyone should be able to do. It's about how they GOT that money that should be in question. If they got it honestly and fairly, then it's no one's business but their own how they spend it. Unless everyone wants their own spending judged.
Considering the things one can do with said monies quite frankly the dress itself is irrelevant ... plus wear once .... no value to anyone else .... depreciates faster than a car .... Disney has women all messed up 🤣😂 Yes.....woman here .. when and if I marry I will make my own dress ... or vintage shop
I always feel that when I see a bride talking about 'her big day' it kind of reflects she isn't marrying someone who excites her or who she really loves. It's more about the big day. I went to a wedding that cost £100,000. It was very sad to sit at the table and eat the food whilst most of her friends at that table bad mouthed her. I said 'She's paying for us to have a meal and be at her wedding, so please show some respect.'. They shut their mouths but ignored me for the rest of the evening. I left early. The bride divorced 2 years later. If a magical policy came out that nobody was to spend more than 2000 dollars for a wedding, I guarantee you, far less people would get married.
I don't regret my big fat wedding. I will agree that once is enough. My marriage is long over, done and dusted. But I still have fond memory of my friends and family at the reception. It was a good party and we had a wonderful time. Many of them are dead now and it is good to remember all of them together smiling and dancing.
If a person has the wealth to pay for it, go for it! This takes nothing away from the average person, each person is different and should be able to find what makes her feel special. Obviously some people, because of their status in society have greater demands placed upon them. Happy for every bride who finds her special gown, regardless of cost which is really not the true issue.
Hard to believe the large sums of money spent on wedding dresses. $12,000,000.00. If I had that kind of money. I still would not spend it on a wedding dress. Any dress. But if they are smart enough to know how to earn or get that kind of money---they can do whatever they want with their money. Enjoy💕
George Clooney is from Dayton, Ohio. My sisters pastor grewup with him. The pastor told his church a secret about George when they were children. Something about George, but I won't say what it was. People would die if they knew!
If someone spends a million or more on a dress its usually a sign that they have a few million in their bank account to spend on feeding the starving people of the world. Do you forego your most treasured desires in order to feed or house other people?.
Judge I worked for married my husband and I for free in his office. He was a criminal judge and when I left his office the prisoners all stood up an applauded me! They were my bridesmaids and their striped jail uniform was their bridesmaid dresses! I paid nothing for the wedding! Lol! We have been married 47 yrs now and I am thankful I paid for no outrageous wedding! We bought a house instead!
Half looks crazy and the other half looks basic, I know they must use expensive fabric but still if I'm spending that much money I would buy and Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad or Labourjosie
Vera Wang isn’t a bird killer nor did she strip thousands of them of their feathers leaving them naked. Peacocks are the males & naturally molt all their tail feathers every year. Peahens don’t have the famed plumes. Peafowl is the species name.
I had to borrow my dress when I got married my friend lint it to me I didn't need a fancy wedding dress I was thrilled on my wedding day to be able to wear that dress
My dress was beautiful I designed myself and did the pearl beading, a friend sewed it together for me. It was an eggshell satin . Every cost with making 400.00
These dresses are lovely - no argument there, aside from it being more than slightly ridiculous to lug a dress weighing 100lbs on your wedding day. That being said, for me, spending so much on a dress I will only wear once seems crazy. The wedding is day one of the rest of your life - if you mortgage that life to pay for the first day it seems you are setting out wrong footed. How much of this money could finance a house, or at least a downpayment on one?
No 1 is beautiful for all the costs involved. Sad when ppl think spending lots of money will automatically mean beautiful. Kym Kadashian's dress was yuk. I liked Vera Wang's idea but I do wonder if peacocks were killed to meet her demand. Kate Middleton's dress, all that detail was a waste because you could not see it. The dress looked nothing special other than being a throwback.
I disagree about Catherine's dress. (She prefers her given name and deserves that respect). It is the most elegant of all, the very essence of a wedding gown. The construction and fit are exquisite. The others were extreme and flashy which is vulgar.
It's a costume. I so wish brides would realize that they could find a gorgeous dress, and spend the money on so many more important things. However, some will say the rich can spend it on whatever they want....I wish that want would be to help other people, instead of a dress that will never be worn again!

Amal's dress was stunning. Kates dress was classic and elegant. Kim's dress was a half million dollar hot mess!!! One of THE ugliest dresses ever seen!!
Exactly, a high neck dress when you have big boobs is not flattering.
Amal was a cookie cutter dress. Kate was a copy from Grace. I prefer Stephanie of Lannoy or Pippa Middleton wedding dress.
@@gabygaby5701 The only thing Kate's dress had in common with Grace's is long sleeves. To me they look nothing alike.
Yeah hot mess just like her marriage.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought Kim K’s dress was ugly as sin.
Even if I had billions of dollars I would never ever spend so much money on a wedding dress. Money is best spend if helping others.
Amen
In ur opinion.
Yeah. These dresses didn't look much different from around 2000-4000 dollar range. You can get quite close replicas prob. super low price compared to these. Quality of course will be worse, but look in photos prob similar enough. I just don't get personally the hype of covering your clothes with diamonds or gold etc.
✨🦋✨🦋✨🦋✨🦋✨🦋 like so much
Me too, but hopefully the price paid found its way to those who made this artwork! Oh and those who mined the gems too!
I wore a timeless, high necked, long sleeved, slim fitted white Brussels lace on white silk designer cocktail sheath off the rack on sale at Nieman's. Breathtaking and comparatively very inexpensive ! I wore it afterwards, then had it dyed ecru and finally black and wore it for years. My friends laughed saying I'd be buried in it ! Always complimented, wore like iron, great to accessorize and go to any event dressed up or down. What a dress, often my lifesaver.
Kate Middleton's dress was my favorite. Classic.
An expensive dress, no matter how beautiful it is, doesn't guarantee you a happy Life !
You said it ...They are all beautiful dresses but I would never spend that kind of money on a dress if I had it... Marrying the right person is half the battle ..good communication, being honest ,loyal ,faithful ,kind ,caring ..listening and off course someone you are madly in love with....and with God in the center of your life...
I totally agree! Judge I worked for married me for free and we have been married 47 yrs happily!
Too often couples plan for the wedding but forget to plan for the marriage.
So true👏👏👏

We've been together 28 years. Got married at the courthouse and hosted a dinner at a restaurant for the bridal party. When it's true love, you don't need to show off to the world.
Who said worrying an expensive dress is more a show off than true love? Let people enjoy their money. They have it so let them enjoy it
@@cnehndlela6536 I said it.
My gown from Strawbridge and Clothier cost $100.00 in 1958. It was a beautiful silk organza and I’ve been married to same man 63 years
That Swarovski dress was breathtaking!!!
As my darling husband says "Some folks got more money than sense",
And are these people going to be happy in their marriage? The dress does not make the wedding! The people do.
An expensive dress and the obscene amount of money spent on all these "costumes" are no guarantees of happily ever after. The Beatles said it best, "Money can't buy you love!"
My gown was $325.00 and my husband to be bought it for me, (that was about two weeks worth of pay) and that was 40 years ago. I would marry him again in a potato sack, I hit the husband lottery!
The value is to respect the vow of the marriage.
Yes, I agree with your statement. Don't act impulsively for a life long commitment. No one needs to get married. You should want too marry the person.
Givenchy is pronounced with a French “J” sound, a soft “jz” made with the tip of the tongue, almost like saying “shh.” So its “jzhiv-on-shee,” not GUH VINCHY. But it was funny to hear it said so many times!
My ears are hurtng from this „guh…”😬
Just like ‘hot’ couture instead of ‘haute’, no pronunciation of the ‘h’ required….😅😅
Well pardon our French. Stu-ped Amerecans 😬
$372,000----I could buy my dream truck (2022 Ram, fully decked out), the car I'd like (KIA Soul), and a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house in the area of my state I'd like to live in, and still have some money left over!! I sure wouldn't waste any of it on a bunch of (very ugly, in some instances) fabric and lace!
Where I live that amount would buy a small house
For real yyyy spending so much money on a wedding dress.
Then divorced later lol?
U could feed the homeless instead?
And lived longer and be Happy
Pea cock Feathers 🪶 😋 😍 lol 🕺 😆 😂 🤣 😅
The dress I liked was $3000 in the 1980s. I had a copy made for only $300
You really think that's how to pronounce 'Givenchy'?
That bothered me.
You would think before making a video they would learn the proper pronunciation.
Painful to hear him butcher that🤣
The typos in the headings were also troublesome!
Swaravoski and Kate’s are the most beautiful!
I think responsibly sourced dresses are the best route. Low cost wedding dresses are not benevolent either, as they are guaranteed to be made in sweatshops with no labor laws. With hundreds of thousands made each year, they are arguably more harmful than one expensive dress. On the other hand, a 12 million dress is an unnecessary flex of funds that could be used for charity. I say all this to say, make responsible decisions.
People are dumb for spending their money on this
Some of the dresses aren't that pretty. Nuts to pay so much for a dress. I have seen beautiful dresses in Goodwill!!. Just saying. So many marriages don't last. Sad. Bet they wish they hadn't spent so much if that happens.
After a certain point, the price doesn't make the beauty of the dress. Some of those enourmously expensive dresses are just too much: too much fabric, too much bling ... takes away the elegance. Not mentionning the fact that the mere idea of wanting a wedding dress to be as expensive as possible, to show off on such a day that should be about love above all things, is vulgar per se. Of the ones featured here Kate Middleton's is my favourite by far: flattering for her, impressive enough yet remaining elegant... gorgeous.
I agree completely. The glitzy, sparkly one’s just look really tacky to me, but Kate’s was lovely one her and, I think, was very ‘her’. She looked beautiful, but also like herself. I thought the first dress shown was also elegant, but I didn’t like it as much as Kate’s.
I think it’s a case of focusing more on the wedding and not the marriage or relationship itself. I’ve known people who spent the equivalent of half of their salaries on the wedding alone and their marriages lasted maybe a couple of years. Then others spent maybe a few hundred to a few thousand and were happily married for 30+ years or are still married.
I spent $1000 on my dress and felt bad spending that! I know my friend spent $13000 on her dress. I was like WUT?! I spent $5000 total on my wedding! I cant imagine spending that much on a dress, let alone a wedding! My husband and I are still very much in love.
Kim's dress was hideous.
Imagine working out at the gym to get fit for the wedding, only to put on a dress that weighs 100 lbs!
Even though if I have the money to buy an expensive dress I rather have a nice reception with good food to share with my my family and good friends.
Victoria’s dress is awesome! The best by far, 2nd place would be Catherine’s wedding dress.
Even though the dresses are expensive-- I bet quite a few famous weddings will get to wear them for free
*correct pronunciation of Givenchy is "Zhee-vaan-shee"*
My dress cost me $160 back in 1975 and I thought it was a lot back then. I think it's ridiculous to spend so much money on a dress that's going to be worn once and for what, most get divorce anyways 😂
You could pay a million dollars for a gown but they’ll take your money the truth is every bride looks beautiful on their special day. You don’t need to be rich. Beauty is all around I’ve seen some beautiful women that looked like a million bucks I was one of them. So. Don’t under estimate who makes a more beautiful bride because of money it just isn’t true.
I didn't even have a wedding dress. My daughter found her dress at a garage sale for 100.00. It was really nice.
My wedding "gown" was a sheath dress from Marshalls. Cost about $30.
The diamond dress is pretty.
The dress isn't important (so much), but the good relationship.
I actually worn no. 8
Still married too
I wonder how many peacocks had to die for this ‘luxurious’ look!
In a lot of those shots, the dresses were wearing them instead of them wearing the dress. I say if you buy it, base it on how you look in it, not how you think it will impress others. You could have copied those dresses with less expensive fabric and no one would have known the difference. Utter nonsense. Kate's was the only one I liked. Kim's looked as cheap & common as she is, and that peacock monstrosity was hideous!
Happiness during the mariage is the most important😊
My dress was FREE! 👍🏻
It was my sisters… who married 3 years before me.
She of course, doesn’t have the dress…. since I wore it last….
but neither does she have her husband (whom we loved dearly)….
but 41 years later….
I still have mine!! 🙌🏻👩🏻❤️👨🏼
And I only WISHED I could still fit in it 😜
The bridal dresses in this video are very beautiful. However if I and my husband had to put out millions of dollars for one dress, then our daughters would have to sign a contract saying that they will have a bunch of daughters who will also wear the dress, and hand it down to their daughters to wear when they marry. Putting out millions for just one dress is huge investment that screams more than one bride needs to use the dress to make it worth the money put out on it.
My Mothers bridal gown was to die for and so beautiful, and she did dream of me wearing her dress to get married. However it was not to be as the dress was size 8 and my Mother being five' eight inches tall meant the dress hem would have to be taken up quite a bit as I am five feet exactly. Her dress also would have to be altered to fit me as I weighed only 94 pounds. When I went shopping for a wedding dress the first place the man asked how much I weighed, I told him and he said we have nothing to fit you, and he referred me to another place, and sure enough that place also said they had nothing that would fit me, both places didn't even offer for me to try on a dress and offer alterations to make the dress fit me! The last place I went to also said that they didn't have wedding dress in my size, but if I saw anything I liked they would do the alterations at half price after hearing what I had been through. I did find a beautiful dress and they did do the alterations. My dress was heavy white silk with lace over the top and long sleeved as we got married December 27, 1979, in West Virginia where my husband was from. My dress and Lace veil cost me $300.00, my shoes only cost $35 dollars. I was so very happy!
I made mine and loved it
My wedding dress was nothing I was thinking of. My mum dad and I went to the same store in Sydney my mum got hers from they show me a gown covered in crystals (I love bling) and I just said oh no then I seen one that had come in tried it on and that was that 2 piece beautiful ivory brocade with tiny gold stitching through it and a beautiful ball style skirt that had a small train that could be pinned up at back. It was simple but elegant and cost $1,500 the look on my parents face sealed the deal. I kept it for years but my friends mum makes memorabilia dresses etc and donates them to the Bonney babies foundation (early death born without breathe babies) they are just beautiful and very special I was so very happy seeing my gorgeous gown be passed on and given to families having to bare the unthinkable and lose a child.
I definitely want silk with embellishments. Diamonds? Who wouldn’t want that? I love the idea of amethysts with real flowers or large flowers with fabric to match!
So sad to see how much money some rich people spend for just not even one day! There are so many humans who die of hunger in the world ....I cannot continue to watch this video!!!
I feel the same way.
I know if it's your money you can buy anything you want BUT with the amount of people who are starving in this world this is real and these dresses are absurd!!
I borrowed my mother’s dress she had wore to a wedding it was tea length and was perfect
You are totally correct!
My mom made my sisters dress and veil for about $50.00 and I wore it too..it was beautiful ..I say..yes you can be beautiful without going to the poor house to get married..weddings are out of control!..
I don't understand these Bride/Groomzillas who spend tens of thousands of dollars on their weddings. And then the want their guests to buy them insanely expensive gifts on top of that.
It’s sick on so many levels think of what the money could buy it would help so many children in the world who are starving .so many people need medical help oh I could go on.I am sorry no dress is worth this amount of money. Worn for a day .yet it could give sight for ever for people suffering .i would be so ashamed if I spent this money on a wedding.
How much more joy it would bring to know you saved someones life- or many lives, those of children too.
You are correct in everything you say, but it is their money or probably mommy and daddy's money so they spend as they see fit. Personally my belief is to skip the wedding go to a courthouse get it done skip the party and go somewhere you've never been before and have an amazing honeymoon.
Exactly my point
You forget so many poor ppl don't think twice about bringing more children into this world, thereby also increasing the population of ppl stuck in poverty. A lot of them also don't care about uplifting their own lives and have a sense of entitlement thinking they have to be handed everything. Literally, we see such news all the time. Just last week some women vandalized a fast food chain over a dollar of ketchup packet saying it's too expensive and they deserve it for free. You speak as if by buying these dresses, the poor ppl become poorer? Doesn't make sense. At the end of the day, it's their money.
I don't care how rich people spend their money. It's theirs ... let them do as they want with it, as everyone should be able to do. It's about how they GOT that money that should be in question. If they got it honestly and fairly, then it's no one's business but their own how they spend it. Unless everyone wants their own spending judged.
Considering the things one can do with said monies quite frankly the dress itself is irrelevant ... plus wear once .... no value to anyone else .... depreciates faster than a car ....
Disney has women all messed up
🤣😂
Yes.....woman here .. when and if I marry I will make my own dress ... or vintage shop
I always feel that when I see a bride talking about 'her big day' it kind of reflects she isn't marrying
someone who excites her or who she really loves. It's more about the big day. I went to a wedding that
cost £100,000. It was very sad to sit at the table and eat the food whilst most of her friends at that
table bad mouthed her. I said 'She's paying for us to have a meal and be at her wedding, so please show
some respect.'. They shut their mouths but ignored me for the rest of the evening. I left early. The bride
divorced 2 years later. If a magical policy came out that nobody was to spend more than 2000 dollars
for a wedding, I guarantee you, far less people would get married.
I don't regret my big fat wedding. I will agree that once is enough. My marriage is long over, done and dusted. But I still have fond memory of my friends and family at the reception. It was a good party and we had a wonderful time. Many of them are dead now and it is good to remember all of them together smiling and dancing.
If a person has the wealth to pay for it, go for it! This takes nothing away from the average person, each person is different and should be able to find what makes her feel special. Obviously some people, because of their status in society have greater demands placed upon them. Happy for every bride who finds her special gown, regardless of cost which is really not the true issue.
And gives work to artisans!
Curious as to what happens to these dresses after the wedding ?
They get burned if divorce happens😂. Ask Kim Kardashian!
More money than sense...
does that last dress come with a bodyguard?
Hard to believe the large sums of money spent on wedding dresses. $12,000,000.00. If I had that kind of money. I still would not spend it on a wedding dress. Any dress.
But if they are smart enough to know how to earn or get that kind of money---they can do whatever they want with their money. Enjoy💕
George Clooney is from Dayton, Ohio. My sisters pastor grewup with him. The pastor told his church a secret about George when they were children. Something about George, but I won't say what it was. People would die if they knew!
He liked to wear wedding dresses?
My one of my twins dress cost 7 dollars from the seven dollar store. It was a beautiful pale pink dress
Neither money nor a wedding dress buys happiness, a solid, enduring marriage, taste or class as evidenced by most of the gowns pictured here.
I wonder what the prenup contract is for?
I would never ever buy a dress that expensive even if I could. That's absolutely ridiculous when people are hungry, just stupid and selfish.
I totally agree
If someone spends a million or more on a dress its usually a sign that they have a few million in their bank account to spend on feeding the starving people of the world. Do you forego your most treasured desires in order to feed or house other people?.
Judge I worked for married my husband and I for free in his office. He was a criminal judge and when I left his office the prisoners all stood up an applauded me! They were my bridesmaids and their striped jail uniform was their bridesmaid dresses! I paid nothing for the wedding! Lol! We have been married 47 yrs now and I am thankful I paid for no outrageous wedding! We bought a house instead!
Half looks crazy and the other half looks basic, I know they must use expensive fabric but still if I'm spending that much money I would buy and Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad or Labourjosie
All of these designers would make a stunner and for much less. Use the money to invest in a home!
Vera Wang isn’t a bird killer nor did she strip thousands of them of their feathers leaving them naked. Peacocks are the males & naturally molt all their tail feathers every year. Peahens don’t have the famed plumes. Peafowl is the species name.
My wedding dress cost £3.00 from a car boot and no, the marriage didn't last lol
I had to borrow my dress when I got married my friend lint it to me I didn't need a fancy wedding dress I was thrilled on my wedding day to be able to wear that dress
Beautiful wedding dresses to expensive.
i knew kim's and kate's dress would make the list because wow they were gorgeous
Beautiful gowns
My dress was beautiful I designed myself and did the pearl beading, a friend sewed it together for me. It was an eggshell satin . Every cost with making 400.00
These dresses are lovely - no argument there, aside from it being more than slightly ridiculous to lug a dress weighing 100lbs on your wedding day. That being said, for me, spending so much on a dress I will only wear once seems crazy. The wedding is day one of the rest of your life - if you mortgage that life to pay for the first day it seems you are setting out wrong footed. How much of this money could finance a house, or at least a downpayment on one?
What do you do with the dress after the wedding?
Turn it into curtains.
I think each bride should choose the wedding gown they want to wear on their special day! I think all brides look beautiful. They glow.
I bought mine on SHEIN on clearance for $19.95. I added some jewelry, high heels & some accessories. No one had any idea l spent so little. 😂❤️💕🎉🎊🥳
I would wear a bag to marry my love
Mine cost $50! It was a sample dress that fit perfectly. Gown clearance at bridal shop in the Bronx!
When I got married in 1986, my dress and veil were $125 in total.
Just so you know, the writing on your PowerPoints covers up the pictures.
It’s about time someone complained about the “writing” covering up the pictures. It’s annoying.
Linda demais parabéns noiva linda
Beautiful!!!
Is the announcer purposely mispronouncing Givenchy’s name
So beautiful ❤❤❤
Number 10 was gorgeous!
Marvelous, amazing 🤩
Dream dresses
My wedding dress , hat , and shoes …..altogether cost $124 at JCPenney. Back in 1983.
I think you mean "Expensive Weddings Dresses only Stupid Rich People Buy".
Diamond Dress my favorite ..
Having money doesn’t necessarily mean you have taste.
The weeding dress from the peacock feathers … what a stupid extravaganza, looks like wasn’t enough diamonds, disgusting!!!
Ridiculous amount of money for something that’s going to be worn once.
The diamond wedding dress is beautiful! ....not for $12 million though.
number 1 and 2 are my fav the rest ick
F Scott Fitzgerald once said “ The rich are different than your name.“ Not to be outdone Ernest Hemingway replied
“ Yes, they have more money!“
Speechless
No 1 is beautiful for all the costs involved. Sad when ppl think spending lots of money will automatically mean beautiful. Kym Kadashian's dress was yuk. I liked Vera Wang's idea but I do wonder if peacocks were killed to meet her demand. Kate Middleton's dress, all that detail was a waste because you could not see it. The dress looked nothing special other than being a throwback.
I disagree about Catherine's dress. (She prefers her given name and deserves that respect). It is the most elegant of all, the very essence of a wedding gown. The construction and fit are exquisite. The others were extreme and flashy which is vulgar.
It's a costume. I so wish brides would realize that they could find a gorgeous dress, and spend the money on so many more important things. However, some will say the rich can spend it on whatever they want....I wish that want would be to help other people, instead of a dress that will never be worn again!
I wish we could rent dresses. Weddings, proms, etc.
