Carolina Herrera Talks Bella’s Wedding Dress

Designer Carolina Herrera on what she designed for the wedding.

WHEN “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1” opens on Friday, fans won’t be at all surprised to see Edward utter, “I do.” They already know the plotlines of the books better than their own ancestries. But there is one mystery — the design of Bella’s wedding dress — that has “Twihards” all astir and the studio behind the film, Summit Entertainment, as tightlipped as a sorority pledge.

The studio is betting that, as with other wedding gowns that have made it to the big screen, thousands of fans will want a copy of the dress for their own big day. To that end, Summit has taken the unusual step of licensing the design to a mass-market bridal retailer.

To whet appetites, the studio has been ever so slowly reeling out snippets of the dress. Back in mid-June, it placed a crumb of information on Twitter that Carolina Herrera had designed the gown, a piece if news that quickly made its way to wedding and fashion blogs.

Kristen Stewart Talks About Career Choices And Bella’s Strength

In an interview with The Telegraph.com.au, Kristen Stewrt proves, yet again, how great of an understanding she has on Bella’s Character.

“[Bella’s] caught up in something that feels much bigger than her, and she’s in a relationship that’s by no means unequal,” the Californian native explains. “Edward is so invested in their relationship, but he’s weaker-minded and doesn’t think they can overcome such adversity. But she has faith that it will work out, so I think she’s more courageous than Edward. I understand people think her weakness might be that she’s had to give up her life for him, but don’t you think that’s valiant?”

Kristen also talks about her career choices, from Panic Room to On the Road. She even hints a little to her relationship with ROb.

“I’m selfish. I think, that’s mine, and I’d like whatever is mine to remain that way. It’s a funny game to play. I always tell myself I’m never going to give anything away, because there’s never any point or benefit for me.”

We’ve seen a lot of Twilight themed baked goods over the years: cakes, cupcakes, cookies. You name it, and we’ve seen it. So it takes a bit to get our attention, but this bakery did.

You can even order specific cookies individually.
