Reality TV stars are some of the most over-the-top personalities in the world — so when it became trendy to wear multiple dresses on your wedding day, of course stars like Kim Kardashian, the Real Housewives, and Holly Madison would take part.
While no wedding may be more extravagant than the royal weddings of Will and Kate or Meghan and Harry, these brides certainly tried their best to make their weddings as worthy of a royalty as possible, from multiple dress changes to amazing venues to tiaras worth $500,000.

Cartwright wore a beaded dress designed by Netta BenShabu that transformed into two further looks throughout the day.
She also removed the veil and overskirt for her second look of the day, which she wore to the reception at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky.
“That one is definitely fit for a castle,” Cartwright said of the gown in an interview with People. “It’s so pretty. I couldn’t wait for everybody to finally see it. I couldn’t wait for Jax to finally see it.”
A three-in-one dress is impressive.
NeNe’s first dress had an ornately beaded bodice and trim and was designed by Baracci.
Their wedding, which was held at the InterContinental Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta, and the entire planning process was featured in the spin-off show “I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding.”
Gregg Leakes passed away from cancer, Entertainment Tonight reported on September 1, 2021. He was 66.
This dress was designed by Pnina Tornai, and was covered in Swarovski crystals, which added another $4,000 to the already hefty price of $16,000.
Their second wedding was held on June 22, 2013.
During the episode about the wedding, she couldn’t decide which dress to walk down the aisle in, but this eventually won.
Kardashian has always had a flair for the dramatic.
And, of course, it was designed by Vera Wang.
Famously, the marriage only lasted 72 days before Kardashian filed for divorce.

Polizzi actually met her husband, Jionni LaValle, on an episode of “Jersey Shore” — famously, she couldn’t remember his name.

It was designed by Ines Di Santo.
Their marriage was over by August 2017.

She was actually supposed to wear three dresses, but the former countess didn’t want to miss a single moment of the night, according to People.
All three gowns she wore at her wedding to Eddie Judge were custom Mark Zunino.
The 2013 wedding, which was held in Dana Point, California, was documented on “Tamra’s OC Wedding.”
Although it’s not visible here, it has a subtle train in the back.
The fringe was perfect for the dance.
Her custom Gregg Barnes gown was beautiful, but it’s really all about the $500,000 diamond tiara on her head.
It was the perfect Disney princess look for their wedding, which was held at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
The tiara stayed in place, of course. Madison and Rotella split in September 2018.
