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).

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!)

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:
