George Clooney and Amal Clooney

George and Amal's wedding looked like something out of a particularly chic film. The handsome heartthrob married brunette beauty Amal in Venice, Italy, and paid for all the guests' travel arrangements! The wedding cost $4.6 million. Almost three million of the budget was spent on 95 rooms for the guests at the Cipriani hotel. The wedding dinner at the hotel was a boozy affair, with guests putting away 250 bottles of champagne ($50 000), 200 bottles of Grey Goose vodka ($80 000), and 600 bottles of Casamigos Tequila: ($30 000)!

Kimye's wedding was a steal compared to the cost of Kanye's proposal in San Francisco. While Kanye spent $3.3 million on his proposal, the couple's wedding only cost a mere $2.8 million. The wedding was a week-long event in Paris and Florence. They spent $409,000 on renting their wedding venue, Forte di Belvedere, $74,000 on air transport between Paris and Florence, and even had a "glam squad" available in case any of their guests needed help with their "lewks" ($380/person).

William and Kate

THE royal wedding of the last decade was a truly lavish affair. The globally televised event cost around $34 million. What is astounding is that Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding would have cost an enormous $110 million today (taking inflation into account), meaning that Prince William and Duchess Catherine's wedding was a bargain in comparison. Nearly all of the budget (a whopping $32 million to be exact) was spent on security. Catherine's Alexander McQueen wedding dress cost $434,000 and the lunch and dinner receptions at Buckingham Palace $600,000. While the wedding was, without doubt, an expensive event, it was also a HUGE moneymaker and gave the British economy a $690 million boost.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

It has to be said, New York is not the cheapest place to get married. When Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones tied the knot nineteen years ago, they spent  $1.5 million. Their guest list included the creme-de-la-creme of Hollywood, Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Goldie Hawn, and Meg Ryan. $300,000 was spent on the bride's tiara, her Christian Lacroix gown was worth $140,000, and 50 security guards were hired (all of whom cost $5,000/hour).

David and Victoria's wedding in 1999 cost around $800,000 which might sound like a bargain compared to Kimye's or the Clooney's, but bearing inflation in mind, it would cost $1.2 million today. They got married at Luttrellstown Castle in Dublin, Ireland and Elton John performed while guests were wined and dined.
