Kleinfeld in New York is known for their bank-breaking dresses, but these ten brides on Say Yes To The Dress bought the most expensive wedding gowns in the show's history. Everyone expects their wedding to be a day they'll never forget, but some brides had astronomical budgets to ensure that everything, including their dress, was absolutely perfect. Kleinfeld is known to accommodate all budgets, but for some customers, the price ends up as less than an afterthought. Say Yes To The Dress will return for season 23 as it remains popular because of outlandish brides.

Some brides come in with a modest budget, while others have none. So, of all the brides that come in through the doors and try on wedding gowns, which ones are breaking the bank? Here are 10 of the most expensive dresses featured on Say Yes To The Dress and their cost.

$3,100 - Megan

Megan sparkled and shined in this Hayley Paige dress. This flowy yet simple and elegant gown with a touch of sparkle made her wedding as gorgeous as ever. This chiffon dress was one of the most beautiful to hit the show, but it also had a pretty hefty price tag, even if it's not comparable to some on this list. Although relatively reserved, the dress cost over three grand. It was nowhere near as expensive as some other gowns, but its price was still shocking.

$4,500 - Jessie

This Maison Signore dress has stunning lace and floral embellishment, complete with a tulle skirt. Jessie was lovely walking down the aisle, and this appointment certainly cemented her wedding's success. It was the last dress Jessie tried on, and she knew it was the one. Her wedding was one for the books, and she was stunned by the only dress by this designer that made this list. It's an excellent example of a case in which when a bride finds "the one," they simply have to have it regardless of price.

$5,900 - Cami

This bride almost gave her mother a heart attack when she tried on black dress after black dress, but she did find one that appeased her bridal party, created by the brilliant Pnina Tornai. Cami Li tried on this dress in both black and white, and both were gorgeous. Strapless and sleek, this $5,900 dress didn't disappoint in either color and was one of the unique gowns from the series. Matching her alternative flair, Cami was one of the most striking brides featured.

$12,500 - Katelynn

Pnina Tornai strikes again, matching this mermaid gown with Swarovski crystals. Katelynn lit up the aisle on her wedding day with a tulle skirt, glimmering bodice, and stunning corset. The bride's mother and aunt pitched in some cash, so she could get her dream dress, and this sparkly gown deserves a shout-out. It isn't surprising that this designer has a bunch of gowns up there in price. However, this was ultimately a great show of familial unity and a great feel-good moment for the series.

$21,300 - Alexandra

Bride Alexandra Gerhart was searching for a reception dress and stumbled across this Pnina Tornai. With Swarovski crystals, this gown has a sheer top and is stunning, but it also retails for over $21,000, which is a pretty incredible amount of money. The bride's mother wasn't thrilled about the price tag or the dress. Regardless, this dress still makes the list of most expensive to appear on the show, showcasing how expensive dresses can sometimes strain family members.

$24,000 - Autumn

Autumn From Say Yes To The Dress.

Autumn waltzed into the store with her fiancé's blessing and wallet. She had two dresses on her mind, one for the ceremony and one for the reception, but this one took the cake. Of course, her husband-to-be dropped $50,000, including an $8,000 veil! This definitely turned heads for the price tag and its unique look. Autumn was another instance of a bride not settling for anything less than the best.

$29,000 - Katrice

Katrice Say yes to the dress

This Pnina Tornai gown was carried to the dressing room by NFL players and one-time Say Yes stars Thomas and Julius Jones and was the most extensive and most expensive in the store then! The brothers were sweet, but this extravagant gown wasn't the one that stole Katrice's heart. Still, it was one of the most expensive to be featured on the show and was a hilarious episode. Had she gone with it at the end of the day, it would have been quite the historic Say Yes To The Dress moment.

$32,600 - Tracy

This Kentucky bride showed up to the store with an unlimited budget, and there was no way she was leaving without the wedding dress of her dreams. She wasn't looking for anything short of a royal dress for her royal day. Of course, Pnina Tornai designed this whopper, and there's nothing else quite like it out there. This bride stunned her bridal party.

$34,000 - Kelly

Kelly's mom is paying for her entire wedding, which she's been saving for her whole life! Referred to as a "modern-day Marie Antoinette," Kelly's wedding seemingly had an unlimited budget, including her $34,000 dress. This unique gown was silver and stunning and made for a show-stopping wedding, and Kelly blew away everyone in her bridal party and left with a dress unlike any other to be featured on the show.

$70,000 - Tabitha

Say yes to the dress Tabitha

Many brides can't wait to try on a gown from famed designer Pnina Tornai. In season seven, bride Tabitha stole the show—and broke the record—for the most expensive dress purchased, ringing in at $70,000! Forget about dresses; that's more than most weddings cost. That said, Tabitha was certainly dazzling in this gorgeous dress she said yes to and spent a pretty penny on. She neglected to share her special day with the public, but fans of Say Yes To The Dress can still see this gown in its original form.
