But Jessica is determined her wedding will be nothing like the ceremony she had with her ex-husband Nick Lachey and doesn’t want to wear a traditional white dress.
An insider said: "Jessica is having something unique made. It will be very different from the Vera Wang she wore to wed Nick
Jessica – who got engaged to Eric, 34, in November 2010 after five months of dating – recently admitted her plans have been progressing and she is "very close" to issuing invitations for her nuptials.
She said: "We are very close to sending out our invites. I’ve been very picky on how I want everything to look and feel. Eric’s family alone is almost 90 people, so it’ll definitely be a big event."7
