Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1

A little late on this but this is going out  to the Twilight fans.  The release of Twilight Breaking Dawn was February 11, 2012.  The reason why I'm am posting this was because I wrote a post on The Look for Less: Bella's Look in Twilight, The Look for Less: Twilight Inspired Wedding, and Twilight Wedding Natured Inspired. Even though I know nothing about the Twilight movies, I was memorized by the clips to the wedding scene (watch this video and let me know what you think). Not to mention this will make a good Valentine's Day present.

Look for Less: Twilight Themed Wedding

Many fans out there in love with the Enchanted and Romantic scene from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn movie.  I must admit I have not seen nor read any of the books, so I know nothing nor am I a fan. On the other hand, I must admit that this wedding scene is too die for...not literally, being that there are vampires in this movie:)  Seeing this scene makes me fall in love all over again.  From the intense emotions you see on  Bella' face as she walks down the aisle, to the look on Edward's face as she approaches him....sooooo romantic. Check out the video.  Okay getting a little carried away here. 

From searching the Twilight wedding, I realized I had a misconception of what this wedding theme would be. Many people depict it as being gothy and vampirish, with red, black and/or maroon colors.  But on my quest, I discovered it to be an Enchanted, Woodsy, Natured Inspired, Delicate, Romantic, Modern Fairy Tale wedding.  Can you tell I'm in love with this theme? 

Below are some inspirations and alternatives to creating the Twilight Wedding look for less.  Also check out my other post on creating Bella's look for less along with the ceremony video.  You can perhaps combine this theme with my post on the love bird theme.

Mirrors can be quite pricey.  While venturing to create theses mirror boxes for less, I came across these self adhesive mirrors.  Put these mirrors on square foams, squared vases or even recycled boxes and you'll save yourself lots of Mula. Note: I have not experience with these products nor done this project, so I can't guarantee their quality.  Definitely a project I would like to attempt in the near future. If you try this or have other ideas, feel free to comment.

Save money by Alternating your Centerpieces

For you DIY brides, create these beautiful floral boxes by using those self adhesive mirrors and adding your choice of flowers. Alternate these with the Candelabras to give you that glam wedding look for less. Rememeber by alternating your centerpieces not only do you create a variation but you also save money on your wedding decor.  Go a small step further to create a romantic ambience by adding some votives. 

Create your Look for Less by Using Candle holders instead of Candelabras

If the price of those candelabras still seem a bit steep, consider this option.  Like mentioned from the source, shop thrift store for candle holders and spray paint them to give you that elegant look.  Or option 2, like mentioned in the source, buy wooden candle holders and spray paint them in silver. 

Complete the Look

The Look for Less: Bella's Wedding Look in Twilight

For those of you who want a fairy tale wedding with a modern day twist, prepare to be inspired by Bella's wedding in the Twilight saga: Breaking Dawn.  I'll be honest I have never seen the Twilight movies nor read the books but I was inspired to post something on this wedding.  It definitely is a modern day fairytale. 

Here are some facts that I think you would appreciate about the making of the dress.  Will make you feel that all that work was done for you on your special day. I'm in love with the intricate design the back of this dress has.


All The Wedding Details:

• Bella and Edward wed under 160,000 wisteria blossoms.
• The custom-made designer wedding dress is valued at $35,000.
• It took six months, four seamstresses, and one high-fashion designer (Carolina Herrera) to craft the hand-made dress.
• 152 buttons flanked by French Chantilly lace lined the back of Bella’s gown.
• 17 buttons and Chantilly lace adorn each sleeve.
• 4 months, 12 sketches, and 3 prototypes later, the shoes were created.
• The shoes will be available in stores next year.
• Their honeymoon destination, Casa Dino, is an 11,000-sq.-ft home in Brazil
• The destination is only accessible by boat or helicopter.
• Baby Renesmee was played, “by a rubber or mechanical baby a lot of the time,” Nikki Reed said.

The Less Shoes Applique

    After looking at the price of these shoes I started thinking of other ways you can replicate the Look. Above are two pairs of shoes: white stilettos that look similar to Bella's and ivory satin shoes with a flower.  Both of which after adding your choice of appliques can help you create the Look for Less. Note that these appliques are not intended for shoes, but I think with a little hot glue you can get the Look.  It looks like the ivory ones would be more comfortable.
