A grand, Cinderella-esque wedding can only be topped off with a sparkling bridal gown. Designer Cosmina Englezian created the Crystal Dream wedding dress for that very purpose.
Crystal Dream is made from 55,000 pearls and Swarovski crystals and 40 yards of delicate lace. All the beading was hand sewn and stitched by the designer herself with the dress weighing in at 12 kilograms.
The gorgeous sparkling wedding dress comes at quite the hefty price, costing $40,800.
