What is a Twilight-themed wedding?

It’s a themed ceremony and reception based on the popular book series by Stephenie Meyer. It was later adapted into several films including Breaking Dawn, which features a luxurious wedding scene. The movies star Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), the love interests whose wedding many modern brides base their own designs on.
