"Being a big follower of The Twilight Saga, I was very flattered to be a part of this fantastic project," she told Vogue. "I read the books and saw the first film and have been a fan ever since." Considering the huge fandom and intense excitement surrounding the fourth film, there was a fair amount of pressure to perfect the dress design. “It had to be magical,” Herrera explained at the Breaking Dawn premiere. “I still have all the sketches and everything because it was so special" (People, 2023).
In order to bring Bella's wedding dress to life, Herrera first had to consider the source material. "I was of course inspired by Stephenie's description of the gown in the book, but I added the touch of Herrera and also took into consideration the personality and the style of the bride," she told Vogue of her design process. The designer opted to create a crepe satin and French Chantilly lace gown, which took six months and four seamstresses to make. The dress featured 152 covered buttons along the back — a detail Bella mentions in the book's description of the gown — along with an illusion lace applique and train. The long sleeves featured another 17 buttons each and additional lace detailing, while a subtle V-neckline completed the elegant bridal look.

This wedding dress also reminds me of Anastasia Steele's dress in Fifty Shades Freed and rumor has it the author of that series wanted the franchise to favor the Twilight saga. For example, Mr. Grey lives in Seattle, Washington and the vampires in Bella Swans life are from Washington state. Either way, Bella Swan looks amazing in this dress and if Washington can host perfect weddings, they'll certainly have sensational wedding dress boutiques. The wedding day was a beautiful one without rain or fog and it's a memorable scene in this movie.
The crazy, amazing ideas you can come up with from watching Twilight is to have the story as a theme for your wedding. The food and drinks could be a fun revelation on how much you love the movie and your wedding dress and hair can resemble Bella Swan's on her wedding day. The placement cards and wedding favors can also be used to make your guests smile at the idea they're attending a Twilight wedding.
