  2. 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 (Altered image courtesy Ron Ben-Israel Cakes) Back to slideshow navigation
  3. 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

  4. The decor

    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 (Courtesy Preston Bailey) Back to slideshow navigation
  5. The wedding bands

    The inspiration: "I didn't realize I was crying until it was time to say the blinding words. 'I do,' I managed to choke out in a nearly unintelligible whisper... When it was his turn to speak, the words rang clear and victorious. 'I do,' he vowed." --Bella, in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn"

    The expert says: "Bella's ring is romantic but unusual; the ornate gold vine design (with 372 white diamonds!) matches her complex personality. Edward's band is a mixture of gold and hidden rubies, which evoke his secret powers." --Neil Lane, jewelry designer, neillanejewelry.com

The stars of "Twilight" are already looking forward to the final two installments in the vampire franchise.

Author Stephenie Meyer's fourth and final "Twilight" book, "Breaking Dawn," is splitting into two parts, and while scripts are still being written, star Kristen Stewart says she knows exactly where the fourth movie should end: With Bella having just given birth and Edward being forced to change her into a vampire to save her life.

"I feel like it's so obvious where you break it up. It's as soon as she turns," Stewart told AP Television at a weekend publicity event for the third "Twilight" film, "Eclipse," opening June 30. "Gosh, you open your eyes to this different world, right? That would be amazing."

Stewart said she's looking forward to her character's development in the final two films, the first of which is set for release Nov. 18, 2011.

"It's such a crazy concept though," she said. "I'm going to be playing a wife and a mother and a vampire. I haven't read the scripts ... but I don't see where else it could split other than when she turns. ... I'm really curious as to what I'm going to be doing in the next six months."

Co-star Taylor Lautner said he approved of Stewart's idea, and praised the decision by film distributor Summit Entertainment to break up the last book.

"There's so much to cover," he said. "Because you've got to deal with the marriage, you've got to deal with the kid. I mean, maybe the split of the wolfpack, because that's very important as well. But it'll be interesting. Wherever it splits, whatever happens, I'm trusting (director) Bill Condon, because he's extremely talented."

Condon, who directed "Dreamgirls" and "Kinsey," will direct both films.

Stewart said she actually can't wait for the franchise that made her a star — and a paparazzi target — to come to its conclusion.

"Gosh I mean come on, get on with it definitely," she said. "The feeling that I get before and during working on a new movie is you want the story to be told so bad because you're worried that it's not going to be right and get out. I'm so concerned with getting every scene right. This story is constantly weighing on me because it's not done. So I can't wait to finish it."
