Ivanka Trump's Wedding Look Came With A Seriously High Price Tag

A bride should feel beautiful and princess-like on her wedding day. After all, it will be one of the most memorable days of her life. But with so much fanfare around the big day, a big bill usually follows. And for the affluent Ivanka Trump, the sky was certainly the limit when it came to her wedding.

Ivanka married Jared Kushner on October 25, 2009 in a Jewish ceremony. They were only engaged for three months before walking down the aisle, and three months was all Ivanka needed to plan the wedding of her dreams. On the day, she wore a custom Vera Wang dress and diamonds from her own (now defunct) jewelry line. The A-line bridal gown was in a traditional style and made with high-quality lace. The custom gown was priced at $50,000.

Additionally, Ivanka wore $265,000 worth of accessories including a diamond bracelet, a platinum-diamond hairpiece to accent her veil, and a pair of sparkly earrings that cost $130,000. Between the dress and the matching bling, that means the full wedding ensemble was over $315,000 and one of Ivanka Trump's most expensive outfits so far. It's no surprise that Ivanka's wedding outfit was extravagant and expensive — the engagement ring alone cost more than $540,000!

Ivanka Trump is used to lavish events and extravagant clothing that costs thousands of dollars. While she looked into her own inventory for her wedding jewelry, that didn't stop her full bridal wardrobe from costing a pretty penny. The six figures that her outfit cost didn't even include gowns for her bridesmaids ... or any other aspect of the wedding. Between the ceremony, the honeymoon, and the 13-layer wedding cake, it's clear that maximalism was embraced all around. A note for brides-to-be who want a gorgeous wedding: You're not doomed to the same massive price tag. (Even Ivanka likely saved some cash by getting married at her father's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.) You can be a budget-conscious bride with the right money-saving wedding tips.

It comes as no surprise that Ivanka's expensive bridal gown was inspired by the style of Hollywood legend Grace Kelly whom the first daughter has taken fashion cues from many times before. In fact, she used Grace Kelly as inspiration for the stunning blue dress she wore to her sister Tiffany Trump's wedding in 2022. Her love of classic glamour with elements of modern trends means that Ivanka Trump has certainly influenced her own daughter's sense of style. Teen Arabella Kushner often matches her mother when the two appear together publicly and has even borrowed Ivanka's clothes to wear herself. Only time will tell if Arabella will follow in her parent's footsteps by going all out for her own wedding some day!
