We Knew Wedding Dresses Were Expensive, But Half A Mil?

While this $501,640 dress isn’t the most expensive wedding gown we’ve met, it’s certainly up there. Besides yards and yards of platinum-colored tulle, the dress includes 10 feet of platinum chain, 33 carats of diamonds, 145.84 carats of aquamarine, white keshi pearls, and a white south sea pearl pendant. The dress is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between Tutera, who hosts “My Fair Wedding,” and jewelry designer Erica Courtney. Call us cheap, but we don’t get it. Who needs platinum chain on a piece of clothing they’re going to wear one time? Especially one that’s not even cute. [Luxist]

The dress is pretty but not worth that much for something that you are only going to wear once. I would rather spend it on the honeymoon than the dress

I’ve yet to see a wedding gown I liked well enough to pay what it cost. I’m sure I’ll end up getting a secondhand, wearing a non-bridal dress, one or making my own if I ever need it.

@BlueVibe: online and warehouses. Mine was $200 and it looked equivalent to ones I’d seen in stores for $1000-$1500. Don’t know what you consider reasonable, but $200 for a very nice dress isn’t bad IMO.
