‘Breaking Dawn’ wedding: Experts Plan Bella & Edward’s Wedding for InStyle!

Thank you so much to Annee for sending me this. InSyle exclusively had the industry’s top experts design Bella’s Breaking Dawn wedding! The wedding would take place in Breaking Dawn part 1. Check out the lavish details they put together for Edward and Bella’s wedding:

The Wedding Cake

THE INSPIRATION: “I was blinded by flashbulbs as we held the knife over a spectacular cake—too grand, I thought, for our relatively intimate group of friends and family.”
—Bella, in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn


THE EXPERT SAYS: “We extended the ‘spectacular’ cake’s height by elevating each tier with bands of sugar red roses. The color signifies blood, while the white icing matches the couple’s skin. I didn’t feel that Bella and Edward would respond to a white-on-white theme, and used chocolate frosting as the sensuous motif—at least mortals respond very strongly to the scent of chocolate!”
—Ron Ben-Israel, owner and baker, weddingcakes.com

Rosalie’s Dress

THE INSPIRATION: “Rosalie glided past the bathroom door in a shimmery silver gown with her golden hair piled up in a soft crown on top of her head. She was so beautiful it made me want to cry.”
—Bella, in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn


THE EXPERTS SAY: “Rosalie stubbornly disapproves of Edward and Bella as a couple from day one, and we saw her choosing a relatively simple gown to display her opposition to the wedding. However, Rosalie is also notoriously proud of her beauty, so we knew she wouldn’t be able to resist adding a few glamorous touches to her ensemble, be it the gorgeous draping of silk crepe at the hip or the elegant shimmer of her crystal belt.”
—Beth Blake & Melissa Akey, designers, threaddesign.com

Alice’s Bridesmaid Dress

THE INSPIRATION: “Alice was back before I had taken two hundred breaths, in a dress that flowed down her slender body like a silvery waterfall.”—Bella, in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

THE EXPERTS SAY: “Alice is the fashionista to Bella’s tomboy, and we pictured Alice choosing a dress that’s stylish but not overly so. The one-shoulder is a simple nod to her love of fashion (and a Thread signature!) and the flowing waves of silk chiffon over charmeuse lend the formality required for such a momentous occasion.”
—Beth Blake & Melissa Akey, designers, threaddesign.com

The Décor

THE INSPIRATION: “I was distracted by the profusion of white blossoms that hung in garlands from everything in the room…dripping with long lines of white gossamer ribbons. But I tore my eyes from the bowery canopy and searched across the rows of satin-draped chairs…until I found him at last, standing before an arch overflowing with more flowers.”
—Bella, in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

THE EXPERT SAYS: “The passion between Bella and Edward is electrifying; their wedding needed to be just as magical and enthralling. Romance, fantasy and drama—each are key elements in the pair’s extraordinary story and warranted creative interpretation filled with magnificent florals, shimmering stars, dreamlike fog and more. The couple’s reception called for a change in mood after the ceremony—crystal chandeliers, floral candelabras, and spectacular lighting.”
—Preston Bailey, event designer, prestonbailey.com

The Invitations

THE INSPIRATION: “Edward lay next to me and held my hand. ‘August thirteenth?’ he asked casually after a few minutes of comfortable silence.”
—Bella, in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

THE EXPERT SAYS: “This design captures the essence of Bella and Edward: dramatic and passionate with a hint of dark elegance. It incorporates a variety of printing techniques and materials, making it both complicated and harmonious, like their relationship. The color palette symbolizes the chemistry between them: red is passion and a nod to the vampires, while espresso is mysterious and gold represents luxury and elegance. Their relationship is so unique, their invitation had to match!”
—Ceci Johnson, founder and creative director, cecinewyork.com

The Honeymoon

THE INSPIRATION: “We headed due east into the open ocean… As far as I could remember there wasn’t much east of Brazil… ‘This is Isle Esme. A gift from Carlisle—Esme offered to let us borrow it.’… The moon was bright on white sand and, just a few yards away from the house, glistening waves… I was more focused on the absolutely huge white bed in the center of the room, hung with billowy clouds of mosquito netting.”
—Bella, with a quote from Edward, in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

EXPERT SAYS: “A boat ride away from Brazil’s coastline there is a clutch of subtropical islands that combine jungle backdrops and pristine beaches with plenty of essential honeymoon privacy. If you don’t have the funds to finance your own private island getaway, head further down the coast to replicate your own Edward-and-Bella-style escape. Book one of the four bungalows at secluded seaside retreat Fazenda São Francisco or the breezy eco-shacks of Tauana, which are both backed by virgin forest and fronted by kilometres of white-sand Corumbau shoreline, and offer a taste of wild South Bahia without compromising on contemporary luxury.”
—James Lohan, CEO, mrandmrssmith.com

How to have a ‘Breaking Dawn’ style wedding!

For the truly hardcore fans — the same who would buy Bella Swan’s engagement ring — here are some ideas for a classy (i.e. no Edward Cullen cutouts) Breaking Dawn-themed wedding. Think apples, dramatic reds, and a vampire-y forest feel.

This floral arrangement has the purple to match the color under Edward’s eyes, the red for blood & white like their pale skin! Simply perfect.

Even with the woodsy atmosphere, the glam touches take it up a notch.

These adorable cupcakes manage to fit the movie’s theme without being cartoon-y.

Guests on top of their Twilight knowledge will be able to point out the subtle allusions to the books.

While this Twilight-themed concept wedding is flanked by foliage and open space, it has an entirely different feel with its red, white, and black color scheme.

Ribbons, crystals, and roses, oh my! Again, the key here is classy — no photos of Robert Pattinson in sight.
