About Bella Swan's Wedding Dress
Actress Kristen Stewart's Twilight wedding dress was a gorgeous gown designed by Carolina Herrera. Made of crepe satin, the dress featured Chantilly lace embellishments all down the back with long sleeves, a long skirt and an elegant train. This simple but stunning dress was custom-designed for the movie, but a few modern designers have created dresses that can give you a similar look for your big day.

Bateau Neck
Bella Swan's wedding dress featured a bateau neckline that nearly draped off her shoulders. You can get this sweet, feminine look as well as her full skirt by choosing a dress like this one from designer Pronovias. The simple satin gown would make any bride glow, and the cinching at the waist with the trailing skirt are flattering on any figure.
Actual replica
The lace detailing of Bella Swan's wedding dress is mostly on the back and sleeve cuffs, but if you love the look, choose a gown that extends lace to the full sleeve. This Alfred Angelo gown is the official replica of the movie's gown and if you wanted to, you could wear the actual design yourself!
Slim Silhouette
Rather than a full skirt with plenty of tulle or an empire-waisted gown, choose a dress with a slim silhouette if you want a to look like Bella Swan on your wedding day. This beautiful gown from Claire Pettibone is designed in one continuous piece that extends all the way to the floor. The sheer sleeves with lace embellishments on the neckline bring this gown from simple to stunning.
Lace Back
If the beautifully laced back of Bella Swan's wedding dress is your favorite feature, you can find a similar gown from designer Stella York. Delicate white buttons are surrounded by paisley-inspired lace that together form a delicate cap sleeve. The pure white color and natural waistline of this gown mix classic tradition with modern style.
Lace Detailing
The wedding dress worn by Bella Swan was all about intricate lace detailing. If you're looking for a similar gown, choose this long-sleeved dress by Chaviano Couture. The scalloped neckline flows into a daring exposed back, much like Bella's own dress, perfect for highlighting your natural beauty without outshining it. The extended train and princess-like veil fit in perfectly with the elegance of a Twilight-inspired dress.
