1Wear a custom-made dress.
Don't have a top designer on speed dial? (Carolina Herrera made Jessica's gown!) Work with a local seamstress or find a talented designer on Etsy.
2Include the kids.
It's been reported that Jessica and Eric's little ones were their ring bearer and flower girl. Don't have your own kids? Make it a family affair -- the couple's nephew Bronx Mowgli was reportedly in the wedding too.
3Write your own vows.
We can't guarantee a charming flub like Jessica's (who said her own name instead of her husband-to-be's!) but writing your own vows will ensure a sweet and sentimental ceremony.
4Get personal with the music.
An insider says Jess and Eric opted for an instrumental version of Chris Issak's "Wicked Game" at their ceremony. Pick songs that are meaningful to you, and search for instrumental or a cappella versions to make them feel wedding‑worthy.
5Do it when the time is right.
The Simpson-Johnsons postponed their big day twice when Jessica found out she was expecting. Every couple has their own timeline, so plan your wedding when it's right for you!
6Make a weekend of it.
We hear the newlyweds kept guests busy with karaoke, golf, and a 4th of July BBQ! If you're planning a wedding that's a destination for most (or that's happening over a holiday weekend), a few extra organized activities will make it a great getaway for your guests.[[wide_card_image_id: 1179600]]
