5. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West - $12 Million

When Kim Kardashian married Kanye West in 2014, they spared no expense in creating their dream wedding. The couple spent an estimated $12 million on their Italian nuptials, with the ceremony taking place at the historic Forte di Belvedere in Florence. The venue alone cost $410,000 for the day, offering breathtaking views of the Renaissance city.

The wedding featured a 60-foot marble table adorned with white roses and peonies, creating an elegant backdrop for their 200 guests. Kim's custom Givenchy gown, designed by Riccardo Tisci, was reportedly worth $500,000 and featured intricate lace detailing. The couple flew their entire wedding party to Paris for the rehearsal dinner before heading to Italy for the main event.

Security was paramount, with the couple spending over $1 million on protection alone. They hired a team of 200 security personnel to ensure privacy and safety throughout the celebration. The floral arrangements, handled by renowned florist Jeff Leatham, cost approximately $136,000 and transformed the venue into a botanical paradise.

4. Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer - $48 Million

The 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer captivated the world and cost an estimated $48 million in today's currency. Held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, this royal wedding was watched by 750 million people worldwide, making it one of the most-watched events in television history.

Diana's iconic wedding dress, designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, featured a 25-foot train and was adorned with 10,000 pearls and sequins. The dress alone cost $115,000, but its cultural impact was priceless. The ceremony included a 27-piece orchestra and the London Symphony Chorus, creating a musical experience worthy of royalty.

The wedding cake was a masterpiece in itself, standing five feet tall and weighing 255 pounds. Security costs were astronomical, with the British government spending millions to ensure the safety of the royal family and international dignitaries. The reception at Buckingham Palace accommodated 120 guests and featured a menu of traditional British cuisine elevated to royal standards.

3. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant - $600 Million

The 2024 wedding of Anant Ambani, son of India's richest man Mukesh Ambani, to Radhika Merchant set new records for wedding extravagance with an estimated cost of $600 million. The celebration lasted several months and included multiple pre-wedding events that rivaled most people's entire wedding budgets.

The main ceremony took place at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, which was transformed into a palace-like setting with thousands of flowers and elaborate decorations. The guest list read like a who's who of global celebrities, business leaders, and politicians, with performers including Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and traditional Indian artists.

One of the most talked-about pre-wedding events was held in Jamnagar, featuring a three-day celebration that cost over $120 million alone. The Ambani family chartered private jets to transport guests from around the world, with accommodation provided in luxury hotels and the family's own palatial properties. The wedding featured multiple outfit changes for the bride and groom, with each ensemble crafted by top international designers.

2. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas - $584,000

While their wedding may not have carried the billion-dollar budgets of royal ceremonies, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s 2018 wedding was a global spectacle that earned its place among the most iconic celebrity weddings of the 21st century. With an estimated cost of $584,000, it was a masterclass in blending cultural richness, emotional depth, and high-end luxury, spread across multiple days, locations, and traditions.

The couple’s celebration was truly global in nature — both in guest list and cultural scope. It began with a Christian ceremony held at the majestic Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India — a heritage property and one of the most expensive hotels in the world. The palace’s presidential suite alone costs $60,000 per night, and its grand marble halls, domes, and sweeping courtyards offered a breathtaking backdrop to the intimate, Western-style ceremony officiated by Nick’s father, Paul Kevin Jonas Sr.

Their wedding attire for the Christian ceremony was custom-designed by Ralph Lauren, who had only ever designed bridalwear three times before — each time for family. Priyanka’s dress was a true showstopper: an ivory, hand-beaded gown with over two million sequins, accompanied by a 75-foot-long veil that required a full team of attendants to manage as she walked down the aisle. It became one of the most talked-about bridal moments in fashion history.

But the celebration didn’t end there. The couple also honored Priyanka’s Indian heritage with a traditional Hindu wedding, featuring a spectacular mandap (wedding altar) covered in thousands of red and white roses, jasmine blossoms, and marigolds — all intricately woven into breathtaking floral arrangements. The event was steeped in age-old customs and rituals, from the saat phere (seven sacred vows) to the vibrant mehendi and sangeet ceremonies, where music, dance, and storytelling took center stage.

1. Prince William and Kate Middleton - $70 Million

Taking the crown as the most extravagant wedding of modern times is the 2011 royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton — a historic event that captured the hearts of the world. With an estimated cost of $70 million and a global audience of over 2 billion viewers, the grandeur of this occasion was matched only by its deep sense of tradition and pageantry.

The ceremony took place at the iconic Westminster Abbey, a location steeped in nearly a thousand years of royal history. The event seamlessly blended centuries-old customs with a touch of modern refinement. The bride, now known as the Princess of Wales, wore what would become one of the most legendary wedding dresses of all time. Designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, the gown featured intricate handmade lace appliqué, a stunning 9-foot train, and a price tag of around $434,000. The dress became an instant classic, inspiring countless bridal designs and imitations across the globe.

Music played a central role in the ceremony’s emotional power. The London Chamber Orchestra, the Choir of Westminster Abbey, and the Fanfare Team from the Central Band of the Royal Air Force came together to deliver a majestic, spine-tingling soundtrack, underscoring the profound significance of the moment.

Security was by far the biggest single expense, accounting for more than $32 million of the total cost. With dignitaries, royals, and global celebrities in attendance — not to mention potential threats in a high-profile setting — the British government mobilized an unprecedented level of protection for the royal family and their guests.
