Most Expensive Wedding Cake in the World

By William Stolerman

Your wedding day is typically an affair of extravagance and Delicious Cakes in Dallas were clearly banking on that theory when they created the world's most expensive wedding cake.  

Made in conjunction with the Dallas Gold and Silver Exchange, it's estimated to be worth $1.3 million. The 160 pound cake glitters with hordes of sapphires and 1,200 carats of diamonds.

Its smothered in silver ‘luster’ dust icing and when it was given its first public viewing at the Dallas Bridal Show it had to be escorted in by security guards and arrived in an armored vehicle.

It can serve 360 guests with each slice worth $3,125 – so it means you'll be giving away one amazing doggie bag. Although for any prospective bride, the thought of being outshone by pudding, could be too much to bear.

Most Expensive Wedding Dress

A wedding is an expensive occasion for even the most humble bride and groom. Imagine, then, the wedding that includes the most expensive wedding dress in the world. The Diamond Wedding Gown is a collaboration of Renee Strauss, owner of a highly successful bridal salon in Beverly Hills, and Martin Katz, who deals in rare jewels. Featuring 150 carats of diamonds, the dress is valued at US $12 million.
The world’s most expensive wedding gown was unveiled at the premier Luxury Brands Lifestyle Bridal show in February of 2006. Later in the year, Dubai’s Fashion & Diamonds show also featured a gown touted as the world’s most expensive wedding dress. Yumi Katsura’s design, however, is only valued at $8.5 million. Despite being only the second most expensive wedding dress, it features 1,000 pearls and one of the world’s only two 5 carat white gold diamonds.
