Jessica Simpson is getting married around Independence Day.
The 33-year-old singer-and-actress and footballer fiance Eric Johnson - who have children Maxwell, two, and Ace, 10 months, together - will tie the knot over the July 4 weekend in Santa Barbara, California.
And the blonde beauty - who was previously married to Nick Lachey for three years until 2005 - is not planning to walk down the aisle in a traditional white gown.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Jessica is having something unique made. It will be very different from the Vera Wang she wore to wed Nick Lachey."
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."
Jessica hasn't released new material since her 'Happy Christmas' album in 2010, so she wants to start focusing on her career again after the wedding.
She recently explained: "We're building a studio in our house. I bought a house from Ozzy Osbourne, so a lot of the studio was already set up. I want to see what comes out. It's time for me to find that out, and I can't wait for my kids to experience that with me. Even Eric. He's never seen me perform onstage."

Rihanna has donated $25,000 to the Los Angeles Police Foundation.
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker made the kind gesture after accidentally breaking LA Police Commission President Steve Soboroff's mobile phone when he asked her for a selfie at the Los Angeles Clippers basketball game against Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday (09.05.14).
The pop star dropped his phone as she tried to take the photo, cracking the screen, prompting her to later tweet: "Sorry I broke your phone @SteveSoboroff 🙂 (sic)"
And Steve later revealed the guilty star had made a donation to help police cadets from underprivileged backgrounds and bereaved families of officers killed in the line of duty.
He tweeted: "BIG @rihanna news: she's donating $25,000 to @LAPoliceFdtn for cadets & families of fallen officers.(sic)"
The pair have since met again at another basketball game, and Steve asked Rihanna to sign his damaged phone.
She complied with his request, writing "Sorry! I ♥ LAPD. Rihanna."
The phone is now up for sale on eBay to raise money for the police foundation, and bidding has reached a staggering $10,000.
The auction ends tomorrow (15.05.14).

Jay Z is no longer seeking extortion charges over his old recordings.
Producer Chauncey Magan was detained last month after the '99 Problems' hitmaker's label Roc Nation accused him of stealing master tapes in 2002 and demanding $110,000 for their return, but as the rapper doesn't want to pursue charges, Los Angeles police are no longer investigating the case.
However, according to TMZ, LAPD officers will hold on to the recordings until a civil judge tells them otherwise.
Mahan - who was interning at Roc Nation when the recordings were made - previously claimed he had been asked by the record label to keep track of the music because the 44-year-old star was just "a stupid kid smoking blunts" at the time, and was reckless with his intellectual property.
The producer also insisted he repeatedly told Roc Nation he had the masters - which include 'I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)' and 'Holla' - over the last decade and only requested the money when he could no longer afford to pay the storage fee.
He claims he only asked for the cash as compensation for keeping the recordings for 12 years in Northridge, California.
Roc Nation sent an employee to meet Chauncey at the storage locker, paying him $2,500 to open it, and were able to verify that the never-before-heard tunes were indeed Jay Z's.
The so-called culprit also added that some of the masters sound "awful".

Beyonce has hinted she is standing by her sister following her attack on Jay Z.
The 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker shared no less than four snaps of herself and Solange Knowles, 29, in happier times in the space of half an hour on her Instagram account today (14.05.14).
This comes just 24 hours after it was reported her younger sister - who was caught on video attacking Beyonce's husband in an elevator at the Met Gala afterparty - had deleted all pictures of herself and Beyonce, bar one, from her own space on the social media website.
Among the reflective snaps, the singers are seen hugging onstage just last month at Coachella festival, when Beyonce surprised the crowd by joining Solange on stage during her performance.
The other pictures include the sisters smiling for the camera in a shot that appears to be from several years ago, and in another, Beyonce grins as she rests her head on her sibling's shoulder.
Footage emerged earlier this week of Solange throwing kicks and punches at Jay, 44, in an elevator at the Standard Hotel in New York after attending a Met Gala after party on May 5. Beyonce, 32, is also present but remains passive throughout the altercation.
While all parties have remained silent on the incident, the singer's spree of pictures suggests she is eager to put the drama behind her and supports her sister.
The 'XO' crooner didn't caption her pictures but they have certainly sent tongues wagging, with fans offering their own opinions about her intentions for posting them.
One commented: "Families have problems but you're family so you keep it moving...love the fact that they don't need to say anything lol (sic)"
Another person wrote: "Her sister delete all her photos with B and now B put the pictures back ! Only one reason: B wants to make up! (sic)"
On Sunday (11.05.14), Beyonce also posted pictures of her and her husband - with whom she has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - smiling and enjoying themselves at a basketball game.
