Britain's wedding industry is worth an estimated £10 billion ($15.9 billion) – so it comes as no surprise that some of the country's richest women fork out thousands for the dress alone.
Research from the popular wedding website hitched.co.uk estimates that the average Briton spends £36,000 ($57,181) on their wedding and £913 ($1,450) on a dress.
On the other end of the scale, Business Insider's recent interview with luxury wedding planner Sarah Haywood revealed that the wealthiest are spending around £1 million ($1.6 billion) for their big day and in some cases a lot more than that.
With this in mind, we looked at some of the most expensive wedding dresses to either be worn by or made by a British person, or to be walked down the aisle in the UK.
Check out who made the list below.
8. Madonna's £50,400 ($80,000) dress – the Stella McCartney gown was made of ivory coloured silk. She accompanied it with a 37 carat diamond cross necklace when she married Guy Ritchie in Scotland in 2000.
7. Victoria Beckham's £63,000 ($100,000) dress – the Vera Wang structured ball gown was for her wedding to footballer David Beckham in 1999. She said in an interview with Stylist magazine that it's still in her closet, in the hope her daughter Harper would like to wear it one day.
6. Petra Ecclestone's £80,000 dress – the daughter of British F1 billionaire Bernie Ecclestone got her strapless gown designed by Vera Wang and accompanied it with a veil and tiara for her marriage to mining and gaming tycoon James Stunt in 2011.
