Sun., Dec. 16, 2012 'Bachelorette' Ashley Hebert marries J.P. Rosenbaum in a made-for-TV wedding wearing a custom gown designed by Randi Rahm.

Rahm's gown designed just for Ashley was magicial. Mermaid dresses are always enchanting and sometimes expensive. Hebert's cost plently of lobsters and clams.

TheStir.CafeMom.com writer Mary Fischer reported, "The Rahm gown cost $70,000 and the train cost $75,000 for a grand total of $145,000 for a piece of clothing."

The mermaid wedding dress by Rahm was a perfect silhouette of choice. In fact, one of the most popular dress shapes for the year.

HollywoodLife.com contributor Katrina Mitzeliotis wrote, "The bride stepped out in a floor-sweeping, custom-made mermaid gown. The dress featured cap sleeves, a sweetheart neckline and a cutout in the back but it was her 40-pound train that really stole the show."

Although the train was almost too heavy for Ashley to move around in safely the mermaid dress was stunning.

'Bachelorette' fan Terrance Schaff on Facebook commented, "The dress is absolutely beautiful. The white color is my favorite."

Other designers who had success this year with the mermaid dress were Monique Lhuillier. Lhuiller was inspired by the muse of the mermaid for her entire spring collection 2013.

Fashion and style guru Rachel Zoe designed a rose gold sequinned mermaid dress for Karolina Kurkova to attend the 2012 Met Gala.

Kristen Stewart Looking At 'Vintage Wedding Dresses Like Bella Swan's' To Marry Robert Pattinson

Tomboy Twilight beauty Kristen Stewart has reportedly battled with her make-up artist in the past as she ''hates'' wearing cosmetics, it has been revealed.

The 22-year-old On the Road actress, who is known for swapping her luxe designer heels for shoddy Converse on the red carpet, has wowed at the recent premieres of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 with her stunning make-up and gowns.

But K.Stew would probably look very different if she could have it her way, with a source telling the National Enquirer: "She constantly battles with her make-up artist because she loves to do very dramatic looks on Kristen: bright red lips and dark, smoky eyes.''

''But Kristen always wants to look like she's not wearing make-up, so for her big day, there's no doubt her face will be practically bare," they added.

And it appears that Kristen's 'big day' could come sooner than we'd realised as she and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson have got their relationship back on track since her cheating scandal with director Rupert Sanders.

It has also been hinted that Kristen's wedding dress in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 could be similar to her real life one, with the source adding: "Kristen loved the vintage feeling of the wedding dress she wore and she'll carry that over to her own wedding," the source said.

"She's been looking at vintage dresses, and knowing her, she'll just want something off the rack, but it will be stunning,'' the source revealed.

And after seeing Kristen as Bella Swan in her exquisite vintage gown in the movie, we couldn't think of a better and more timelessly elegant gown for Kristen to marry R-Patz in.

Where's our wedding invite then, K.Stew?
