  • Melania Trump wed Donald Trump in 2005

Melania Trump’s wedding to Donald Trump in 2005 cost so much more than Ivanka Trump’s wedding to Jared Kushner in 2009.

The FLOTUS reportedly wore a $100,000 custom-made Dior gown to her wedding. The beautiful dress featured 1,500 rhinestones and pearls.

Since the first lady and President Trump wed at the latter’s Mar-a-Lago estate, the POTUS didn’t have to pay for another wedding reception venue. However, previous reports revealed that Melania’s husband had his property renovated ahead of their big day.

The couple’s ceremony was held at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida. The ballroom that the couple used to exchange vows reportedly cost $35 million.

French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten was in charge of the catering for approximately 400 guests. The couple allotted $110,00 for their 5-star wedding menu.

The FLOTUS ordered a seven-tier yellow sponge cake for her wedding that cost $50,000. And the couple also paid those who performed at their wedding.

Melania’s engagement 15-carat engagement ring cost $1.5 million when it was first given to her by her husband. But during their 10th anniversary, the POTUS had it upgraded to a 25-carat ring.

Meanwhile, Ivanka and Kushner had to pay for their wedding venue when they tied the knot. The couple shelled out around $62,000 for the Trump National Golf Club.

Ivanka’s wedding gown was a custom-made Vera Wang dress that was priced at $50,000. The dress featured layers of Chantilly and Lyon lace.

The POTUS’s daughter wore three different accessories at her wedding. Her diamond earrings cost $130,000. Her diamond bracelet cost $90,000, and her platinum diamond hairpiece cost $45,000.

Ivanka and Kushner also paid for the venue of their wedding reception. However, the figures remain unknown. Kushner also gifted his wife with a 5.22-carat D flawless cushion cut diamond ring that was estimated at over half a million.
