    Is this the most extravagant wedding ever? Russian billionaire spends $2million on his son’s lavish nuptials - where the bride wore three couture dresses and $200,000 worth of Tiffany jewellery.

    You’ve probably never heard of Russian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan, but after a glimpse at his son’s Moscow wedding, you won’t forget this family or this stunning bride anytime soon.

    The 23-year-old Sargis Karapetyan married 25-year-old beauty Salome Kintsurashvili in one of the most lavish weddings we’ve ever seen (and we’ve seen a lot of big fat weddings).

    ✨✨✨✨Bilionário armênio gasta cerca R$ 6,7 milhões em casamento do filho✨✨✨✨ ⚜Dinheiro realmente não é problema para essa família de armênios. Segundo o jornal Daily Mail, o filho de um bilionário e sua noiva tiveram um dos mais extravagantes casamentos que Moscou, na Rússia, já viu, custando cerca de US$ 2 milhões, algo em torno de R$ 6,7 milhões. A festa em questão foi de Sargis Karapetyan, 23 anos, e Salome Kintsurashvili, 25, que receberam pessoas importantes, como o presidente da Armênia, Serzh Sargisyanu. Sargis é filho de Samvel Karapetyan, que figura na 28ª posição na lista da Forbes dos mais ricos da Rússia. Ele é dono da Tashir Group, que mantém 33 shoppings, quatro complexos de escritórios e oito hotéis na Rússia. O noivo é vice-presidente na companhia do seu pai e a noiva é dona de uma loja vintage online, a Buy By Me. Salome optou por usar três diferentes vestidos na cerimônia. Um deles é assinado por Elle Saab. O valor não foi divulgado, mas os preços do ateliê, geralmente, começam em US$ 35 mil (R$ 118 mil). Já as joias que ela usou totalizavam cerca de US$ 200 mil (R$ 667 mil). Uma das coisas que mais chamava a atenção dos convidados no salão era o bolo, que tinha nove camadas e quase dois metros de altura. Foram convidadas 500 pessoas para a festa e a grande atração da noite foi ninguém menos do que a banda Maroon 5, contratada para ocasião por um valor entre US$ 500 mil e US$800 mil .Tá bom para você? 😱🙈💵❤️❤️❤️⚜ 📰 Matéria por Nathalia Salvado do Portal Virgula #InspiraçõesPorSamMurakammi #ElieSaab #bride #noivasdeluxo #casamentosreais #luxo #altacostura #hautecouture #glam #fabulous #wedding #casamentosluxuosos #dreams #sarkissalome

    Attended by the President of Armenia, Serzh Sargisyanu, the Moscow-based pair’s celebration was held at the famous Safisa, where billionaire Said Gutseriev, 28, married 20-year-old student Khadija Uzhakhovs in March, Daily Mail reported. The wedding which saw J Lo and Enrique Iglesias perform made headlines around the world, but this latest ceremony managed to put the extravagance of the Gutseriev nuptials in the shade.

    For starters, the just-married couple enlisted US band Maroon 5 to serenade their guests for an estimated £3,50,000-£5,50,000 ($5,00,000-$8,00,000), Daily Mail reported. (Yes fans, Adam Levine played at the wedding!)

    But when money’s no object, that’s just the beginning.

    The almost-two-million-dollar nuptials featured flower walls that put Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s to shame, towering centrepieces, and a ceiling-high cake covered in breathtaking florals that might have upstaged the bride herself - but not with wedding dresses like these: Salome selected three gowns, a glittering Elie Saab, a lacy Alessandra Rich creation, and a more traditional gown, each one fit for royalty.

    Speaking of which, the bride topped her look with £1,38,000 ($2,00,000) worth of Tiffany and Co jewellery, Hello! reported.

    If that’s not a wedding fit for a princess, we don’t know what is.

    Read on to take in the stunning decor, the rock-star band, and the mesmerising gowns. To prove, there ain’t no wedding like a Russian oligarch’s wedding, here are some pictures of:
