So much for a white
wedding.
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have told their guests "to dress in dark colors" to their
nuptials on Saturday, a pal of the couple revealed to
Usmagazine.com.
"[Guests] have been asked to wear cocktail attire, but to not be overdressed," added the pal.
On Thursday, crews erected a massive white tent with bright red curtains in the backyard of
Simpson's parents' Encino, California home.
Also set up: a seating area around a fireplace adorned with a cross. (Similar to the altar
Jenna Bush married in front of last Saturday – see her wedding album
here.)
Two oversized delivery trucks were also spotted at the property and the pool was covered to be converted into a seating area.
Simpson, who is about four months
pregnant, will walk down the aisle in front of "around 250 guests" the pal told
Us.
Guests are still being
kept in the dark about details.
"Proper invites have not been sent out but instead guests have been given a save the date notice," a source told
Us.
The rehearsal dinner – described by the source as "an intimate affair" for "family and close friends only" – will take place on Friday.
