Celeb Wedding Inspiration: Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz

I love the elements that Ashlee and Pete incorporated in their Alice in Wonderland-themed ceremony.

Celebrity Wedding Planner Mindy Weiss designed the event, Ashlee’s father was the Officiant, and Jessica was a bridesmaid. The wedding took place in her parent’s backyard in Encino, California, and they had approximately 150 guests. This is the invite guests received a few weeks before the wedding. They were asked to wear dark colors.

Ashlee wore an ivory lace Monique Lhuillier dress and a diamond necklace with matching earrings, while Pete wore a Dior Homme tuxedo. The bridesmaids wore black Vera Wang gowns and their English bulldog, Hemingway, served as the ringbearer.

The reception featured a Wonderland-inspired cake with a top hat, teapot, stopwatch and a pot of flowers on top, with elaborate centerpieces with black beauty roses. Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck catered the event. One delicious dish that was served: lobster tempura with vanilla kung pao sauce. Yum! Guests also sipped on Veuve Clicquot champagne and danced to music from a DJ after dinner.

After taking pictures, Ashlee emerged in a “sexy black party dress” to dance. The guests gathered underneath white tents, which were decorated with black rugs, white couches with red pillows, black chandeliers and lots of red roses. There was also a photo booth for some fun photos. Guests left with a memento: a red box containing a cookie that, continuing the “Alice in Wonderland” theme, read, “Eat me.”
