"Twilight"-Themed Wedding Colors
Though you may not have Alice to look into your future and wedding plan for you, you've at least got The Knot's many helpful wedding resources to help ease the stress. Take wedding colors, for example. While it may be hard to pinpoint which color palette is right for your "Twilight" wedding, we did some of the work by rewatching "Breaking Dawn" (you know, for research) and gathering some inspo to add to your inspiration board.
Classic Black, White and Green
You can't go wrong with classic black and white shades, which is what Bella and Edward had for their big day. Any shade of green complements this monotone palette, so play around with your favorite hues.
Art Deco Gold and Lush Green
Edward's a bit old-school, so why not throw it back to the art deco style? Think shimmering golds, natural greens and creamy whites.
Deep Greens and Rustic Shades
Make any space feel like the woods behind the Cullens' house with these colors. These deep and moody hues evoke the Pacific Northwest no matter where you are.
"Twilight"-Themed Wedding Decor Ideas
Decorating your wedding or reception space with that Cullen aesthetic can be pretty straightforward. Think lavish greenery, romantic lighting and moody shades. Transforming your reception venue into an enchanted wonderland just requires some creativity to make it truly unique to you and your spouse, while still having that "Breaking Dawn" decor.
