Jessica Simpson decided on a regal champagne and gold Carolina Herrera gown for her July 5 wedding to Eric Johnson in Montecito, California.

But when it came to dressing her 14 (!!) bridesmaids, the star couldn't pick just one designer. Each of her 'maids -- including sister Ashlee and BFF CaCee Cobb -- wore different gowns from fashion powerhouses like Marchesa, Jason Wu, Temperley, Carmen Marc Valvo and Carolina Herrera.

In a People.com video of the bridesmaid dress fitting, Simpson explains what was going through her head when styling her 14 "best friends on the planet."

"I didn't really have a theme per se, but I did know that I wanted it to look ethereal and for everyone to feel the best they ever felt," she said. "A little bit angelic, but of course with rhinestones on top."
