I did not get the wedding dress of my dreams. I wanted a Victorian style wedding dress with the high collar, large sleeves at the top narrowing to the wrists, and a narrow waist with a bodice of lace. My mother had other plans based on price and convenience. There was no "Say Yes to the Dress" sort of event back then. I got to thinking of this because this is the wedding season. The wedding dress is the highlight.
Our world of celebrities - whether born into Royalty or akchieved through endeavours - gives us a view of how far things can go. THE WEDDING DRESS - all caps. And why is that? These are dresses of significant cost and astonishing designs.
Let's go down Fantasy Lane and see some of the greatest wedding dresses of all time. There seems to be a mix of American celebrities and British Royalty in the line-up. Most of the line-ups are based on spending a lot of money. In the age of Billionaires on Beserk, these dresses are something to witness.
It is a long line-up of dresses - I have scrolled down to 59 and am now weary of white, so I'm going to share the link HERE. No one will commit to the greatest wedding dress of all time.
Do you want to find out about the most expensive?
Angelababy Wedding Dress – $31 Million - worn by Chinese actress, singer and model
The Diamond Wedding Dress – $12 Million - I guess it is for sale? No wearer
Yumi Katsura's White Gold Dress – $8.5 Million - Japanese fashion designer creation - no wearer
Serena Williams: $3.5 Million - tennis star
Victoria Swarovski: $1 Million - Swarovski jewellery heiress
Queen Elizabeth's dress would have been work $1.6 million today - it cost $42,000 in 1947. The above are all in the white wedding dress tradition, started by Queen Victoria. For wedding sarees, there is Isha Ambani Piramal's worth $1.08 million.
Isn't money so easy to play with? We can compare and contrast everything based on money. We don't have to do any real analysis or make any decisions.
I think of Cosmos as the Wedding Flower - it looks like a ball gown to me. There's always white Cosmos in my garden.
