The Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump wedding took place this past weekend with Trump looking gorgeous and elegant in a custom-made Vera Wang dress and dripping in $220,000 worth of diamonds. It just goes to show that even in a recession, people are still willing to go all out on their wedding day—although I don’t know if it’s correct to categorize the Trumps with the rest of us ‘people.’
As lavish wedding ideas go, The Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump wedding makes it to the top of the list. Check out the other extreme nuptial luxuries in this cluster, from fairytale gowns to $20 million wedding cakes!
