Gowns with Dazzling Price Tags

While brides can happily find affordable gowns well under $2,000, we can’t help but stop and stare at dresses with price tags that are often several times that figure. Luxury gowns come with glitz, glam and often custom finishes that catch the eye and tempt fiancés forward. The designs are either awe-inspiring or so eclectic that many can’t help but gawk. Flip through some of our favorites.

Filigree Dress – $33,000

White tulle, blue crystals, pearl droplets and metallic threadwork flow together to create this stunning silhouette. Created by Cucculelli Shaheen, the Filigree dress takes about 3,270 hours to hand-embroider and all pieces are made-to-order.

Sheer Illusion Sheath Wedding Dress – $32,600

Gowns designed by Pnina Tornai are often associated with the words “sexy,” “revealing” and “daring.” Brides who want to show off their curves and make a statement when walking down the aisle often gravitate toward her signature style, and this sheer dress is no different. Made with a dramatic tulle plisse flower skirt and mirror crystal applique, this gown is bound to turn heads.

Multi Ad Astra Dress – $20,400

Brides love a dress with bling and Cucculelli Shaheen delivers. Hand embroidered with sapphire, emerald, crystal, hematite, petal-shaped florets and more, this high-neck gown is dripping with jewels. Altogether, the creators spend 1,549 hours stitching each piece into place, and the effort surely shows.
