New York, NY -- It takes an awful lot of money to get a Hollywood starlet to walk down the aisle.

That's what editors at "Bride's" magazine discovered when putting together a head-to-toe analysis of the average Tinsel Town bride's expenses for an upcoming "Hollywood Style Issue."

First, there are the basics: A $4400 designer wedding dress, $650 shoes and a $233,000, 6.57-carat engagement ring.

Then, you add on $6000 for a custom hairdo by celeb stylist Oribe, $1500 worth of dental work and bleaching, an $8000 pair of breast implants and $2000 for laser hair removal on her armpits.

A diamond tiara tacks on another $75,000, plus $65,000 for a diamond choker and more than $16,500 for a diamond bracelet.

Finally, there are the accessories: $250 each for sunglasses and a cell phone; $1375 for a pure bred bichon frise and a crystal collar and leash; and $1800 for a white beaded bridal handbag.

The grand total: $415,811, which is 18 times more than the typical couple spends on the entire wedding.
