KIM AND KANYE WEST

The celeb pairing reportedly spent a whopping £9.6m on their nuptials in 2014 at the 16th Century Forte di Belvedere in Florence.

The ceremony saw Andrea Bocelli sing as Kim walked down the aisle and John Legend performed the first dance song at their reception.

A rehearsal dinner took place in the Hall of Mirrors at the Chateau de Versailles, and featured a performanc­e from Lana Del Rey.

Kim wore a Givenchy Haute Couture lace gown.

KATE MIDDLETON AND PRINCE WILLIAM

The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminste­r Abbey in April 2011 was truly the stuff of fairy tales – and they certainly paid for it.

The couple exchanged vows in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury while millions watched from around the world on TV – and thousands lined the streets. The total cost of the vows was rumoured to be over £20m, including security.

Kate wore a £346,549 ivory and lace gown by designer Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, as well as a 1936 Cartier diamond tiara.

SAID GUTSERIEV AND KHADIJA UZHAKHOVS

Dentistry student Said, son of Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Gutseriev, and his fiancee Khadija, tied the knot in Moscow in an extravagan­t ceremony last year that’s estimated to have cost up to a staggering $1 billion.

Jennifer Lopez, Sting, and Enrique Iglesias performed at the couple’s reception, which took place at the upscale venue, Safisa. The bride wore an Elie Saab dress worth £18,000, as well as a diamond necklace and tiara.
