Revealed: Bella Swan's stunning $35,000 Twilight wedding dress unveiled
Bella (Kristen Stewart) is seen with husband Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in the stunning custom fit gown which is made out of crepe satin and French Chantilly lace.
Stephenie Meyer and Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon selected the final design out of ten sketches that Carolina submitted.
The handmade creation- which was custom fit for Kristen Stewart, took Ms Herrera and four seamstresses six months to complete.

The bridal dress company Alfred Angelo will be selling a replica of the dress in select stores, priced at $799.
In the penultimate film in the series Robert Pattinson's character Edward Cullen finally ties the knot with Bella, played by 21-year-old Kristen Stewart.
For months the wedding costume has been shrouded in secrecy, with Zac Posen swiftly denying rumours that he was the designer prior to the film's release.
The name of the designer was leaked on-line by the Santa Monica based film studio, Summit.
The message read: 'On November 18, see Bella’s Carolina Herrera-designed wedding dress in #BreakingDawnPart1!'
Fans immediately commented on the news which has been hotly anticipated for months.

In her 30-year career Herrera, 72, has dressed everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Blake Lively and her label was Jackie Onassis's favourite.
She was bridal designer of choice for Renee Zellweger and Christina Hendricks and outside the U.S. her brand is synonymous with its array of fragrances.
Cast and crew took ample measures to ensure that nothing was leaked during filming using swathes of tarpaulin and armed police, however stills of the couple consummating their marriage were posted on-line.
Author of the Twilight saga, Stephanie Meyer issued a statement requesting to stop posting photos and to wait for the films.
She wrote: 'Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don’t view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.

The Venezualan-born, New York-based designer was a socialite before making her name in fashion launching her label in 1981.
She now has boutiques around the world, as well as a bridal line and a lifestyle brand, CH Carolina Herrera and says that she is inspired by real-life encounters as opposed to trends.
Based on the four Twilight series novels by the U.S. author Stephenie Meyer the final book Breaking Dawn has been split into two films, the first of which was released this month, with the second due out on November 16, 2012.
