The 26-year-old Crystal donned a Cinderella-like, strapless gown. It was designed by Romona Keveza and matched with the shoes designed by Aruna Seth.
It was reported that the total budget for the wedding is estimated to be $750,000 to $1 million, including the strawberry cake, the meal, flowers and catering. Adding to that are the fireworks worth over $30,000. The catering cost was already cut and a bit cheaper because the production team was from the Playboy mansion.
Moreover, Hugh also gave Crystal a $1 million 1.5 karat diamond ring as an engagement ring. The diamond alone already costs $500,000. Crystal had called off their wedding in 2011 and sold her engagement ring for $90,000.

Crystal is also reported to be putting her wedding gown to auction. It is in honor of the death of Playboy mansion’s loyal secretary Mary O’Connor. All the proceeds will go the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society under the name of Mary. The charity, in memory of Mary, aims to raise money for lymphoma victims.
Mary had been a long-time assistant in the mansion for over 40 years. She was also the reason for Hugh and Cyrstal’s reconciliation last year. Individuals have started bidding for the dress online.
Lately, Hugh reportedly purchased a $5 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills as gift for Crystal on their wedding.
However, an insider has said that Crystal signed an iron clad pre-nup before wedding.
