Great Expectations Surpassed! Jessica Simpson's 2014 Wedding

As if it were out of a Dicken's tale or a Hollywood movie - WAIT! It was both! Mindy Weiss, Jessica Simpson's brilliant Wedding Planner who I absolutely adore, took Jessica's wishes that her wedding reception resemble the 1998 version of 'Great Expectations' and brought it to life for her as she wed to Eric Johnson.

From the exquisite abundance of flowers and greenery, the scenery for the big day was flawless and the details so beautifully ornate, Jessica must've felt as if she stepped inside the incredible love story as her own played out.

This is a screenshot from the movie to keep in mind when you see the magic Mindy Weiss created and just how amazing she is!


Jessica stuns in her Carolina Herrera gown in this photo which was instagrammed by The Dress Reserve. The strapless a-line golden/champagne embroidered wedding gown was matched perfectly with a cathedral length veil for a regally romantic storybook look! I love the idea of the color of the gown since this wasn't her first marriage. It's a perfect choice!

Even though Jessica was a gorgeous bride from head to toe, and the decor outstanding, what excites me most about the wedding is the bridesmaid fashion! Nicole Chavez, one of Jessica's bridesmaids, styled the 12 bridesmaids including her sister and mother who were the Maids of Honor (another sweet touch). While an etheral theme was the core inspiration for the fashion, each girl embodied a dress by a different designer…not just any designer of course, but those such as Temperly, Marchesa, and Jason Wu. With each design came a completely different dress in a different color, design, and in some cases, pattern. Each dress was personally chosen and unique to the girl who wore it to showcase her personality which is something that I think is so extremely beautiful for a bride to do for her bridal party - highlight the ones she loves to let all of her guests learn who she is surrounded by and why they were so very important to be chosen as one of her maids! I'd love to see this idea take off as a trend! It's something I would love to play with in future weddings - especially those that have themes to embrace this idea. This aspect of the wedding was what really exceeded MY expectations!

Without further ado or I Dos…here is a video brought to us by People Magazine that takes you page by page through this beautiful love story!
