Bella Swan Look For Less

Since the release of the first insalment of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' there has been an influx in women that want to look like Bella did on her wedding day. Well this is an extremely expensive ensemble to recreate because for her wedding Bella wore a custom made Carolina Herrera crepe silk gown with French and chantily lace details and nearly 200 buttons trailing down the back. This gown has been rumored to cost $35,000. Now add that with a diamond and sapphire hair comb that could eaisally start at $500,000 and work its way up to over $1,000,000. Carolina Herrera has stated that she will sell a version of Bella's dress in her 2012 collection but ye be warned about how expensive the actual dress will cost.
One of the cheaper items, yet still extremely expensive are the Manolo Blahnik swan embellished white satin crystal encrusted pumps that are available from Bergdorf Goodman for $1,295. They are an almond toe shoe with a four and a half in heel. 
Now to create this look it is not that hard or that expensive. Days after the film premiered bridal designer Alfred Angelo already had a perfect knockoff of the gown available for purchase. In comparison to the $35,000 Carolina Herrera gown the Alfred Angelo dress is available to everyone at $799. The ultimate Twilight gear retailer Hot Topic is selling their recreation of the hair comb with rhinestone crystals for $21.98, and to add an elegant touch add a 1 layer cathedral length lace edged veil from Light-In-The-Box.com for $29.39. I know that the shoe is not exactly the same shoe but they are both closed toe shoes with a crystal detail these come from Light-In-The-Box.com as well for $99.99 compared to the Manolo's that cost over $1,200. My whole Bella ensemble can be yours for $950.36 compared to a million dollars.
