Twilight Wedding Dress Replica Out Now!
Belleza Bridal announced yesterday that it will be an exclusive stockists of the Alfred Angelo replica of the dress worn by Bella when she marries love interest Edward in this year's Twilight: Breaking Dawn. The original, designed by Carolina Hererra was designed to "reflect the personality and style of the bride." Herrera told Vogue.co.uk, "Bella's dress is romantic and filled with a timeless sophistication, very similar to the character. In a way, this dress served as a symbol of the character's coming of age and introduction into womanhood."
The Alfred Angelo replica is made from satin sheath and lace applique, and the full-length sleeves, v-neck and classic silhouette create a timeless style while the cut-out illusion back and button detail adds a little sensuality to the gown.

Cover up with a Cardi!
Cardigans are a pretty way of keeping out the cold during the autumn/winter months. Try a bold colour to make a fun and feminine statement on your big day, matching the colour to your bouquet and his buttonhole.

To go the full hog wear a diamond or pearl clasp to hold the collar together. If you're going for a colourful cardie however, keep the detail to a minimum, you don't want the cardigan to overshadow your dress! Some pearl buttons would give it a glamourous edge but keep it simple!

If you are wearing a sheath dress, your cardigan can be a little longer, but your best option is to keep it to the waist if you are wearing a traditional dress. If your dress is a-line you could get away with ballerina-style wrap around (see above).Get the look -Brides in Cardigans

DIY Weddings: Papel Picado Flags
A cute and easy DIY project to create your very own Papel Picado flags. Hang them in the church or drape them around you reception room to help add a splash of colour to your big day.
Materials
· Various colours of tissue paper – maybe in your wedding colour theme
· Double sided tape or glue
· Scissors
· Ribbon
· Paper for template
Step-by-step
1. Fold paper for the template into 1/6s length-wise. Once paper is in 1/2, fold it into 1/3s.
2. Cut small shapes along the folded sides of the template.
3. Open to see if you like the pattern.
4. Then lay the template over the tissue paper, which should be folded in the exact same way the template is.
5. Cut the tissue in the same pattern as the template.
6. Unfold and repeat in the same way for other colours of tissue.
7. Lay ribbon out and stick different colour tissue flags side-by-side on the ribbon with the double sided tape or glue. Leave about enough space either side so the banner can be tied up.
8. Stick another piece of ribbon to the front side of the banner.
9. Now hang it up and stand back to admire all your 'hard' work!

DIY Wedding Headband
Made of pearls, shimmering beads, ribbon and netting, this DIY bridal headpiece is the perfect compliment to your dream dress.
Materials:
- Fabric or ribbon covered headband
- Needle and thread
- Scissors
- Fabric
- Tulle
- Ribbon (satin and organza)
- Beads
Ruffle Ribbon Flowers
- Cut about 8 inches of satin and 16 inches of organza ribbon.
- For your Satin Ruffle Flower, sew a running stitch up the middle of your satin ribbon. When you get to the end of your ribbon gently pull on your stitches to get a ruffle.
- Sew one edge to the other.
- Then repeat this step with the organza ribbon.
- Add any beading or other embellishments that you’d like.
Part 2- Fabric Ruffle Flowers
- Cut out two strips of fabric. You can play around with the lengths and widths to get different sized flowers.
- Fold your fabric in half and sew a running stitch up the cut edges of fabric.
- When you reach the end of your fabric gently pull on your stitches to ruffle the fabric. Sew the edges of your fabric together. Repeat on second piece of fabric.
- Add any beading or other embellishments that you’d like.
Part 3- Tulle Pouf
- Cut out two rectangles of tulle; once again you don’t need to be precise and you can experiment with different sizes.
- Sew a running stitch down three sides of the rectangle, leaving one long edge of the tulle free. Gently pull your stitches to form your pouf. Repeat on second rectangle. Sew both poufs together through the middle.
- Add any beading or other embellishments that you’d like.
Part 4 - Headband
- Sew your ruffle flowers to your headband. You can assemble your flowers in any way you’d like but make sure the pouf is facing downwards.
This DIY wedding headband came from a tutorial with Corrine of Buds and Blooms. To see more great DIY wedding ideas have a look at the La Belle Bride.

DIY Wedding USA
When we saw this amazing real wedding on the Ruffled blog we fell head over heels in love. The couple got married in Long Beach, California. The groom, Jonathan, is a jeweller who made all of the groomsmen’s cufflinks, the centrepieces and the altar, while Amy, the beautiful bride, took on the flower arrangements.
They lined the altar with Amy’s grandmother’s quilt, which was also used in their engagement session and it was their main source of inspiration for their wedding. She wore a vintage wedding dress she found in Chile and had it altered with added flutter sleeves. Her amazing yellow birdcage veil is to die for! Incredible photographs by Chad Cress.
For more of this wedding check out the Ruffled blog.
