Exclusive: Go Inside JWoww’s Wedding Gown Try-On (and Get the Scoop on the Upcoming Black-Tie Affair!)

With her big day less than six months away, Jenni “JWoww” Farley is finalizing all the details of her “I do”s to fiance Roger Mathews.

“I want to do fall colors,” she tells PEOPLE about her Oct. 18 nuptials in New Jersey. “We haven’t picked out exactly what we want yet but darker reds or purples or blues, like nice, fall, rich colors.”

While her custom Stephen Yearick wedding dress is still being designed (she’ll see the final looks in July), the star stopped by the Castle Couture bridal salon in her home state for style inspiration. And it turns out she’s got something already in mind for the intimate ceremony. “It’s going to be like the super-princess-glamour one that I would never be able to walk around in for hours,” she says.

Then, when it comes time for the reception, Farley will switch up her dress style. “I want to do something fun and light,” she says. “Just have fun in it and be able to dance and move, and get fat in it too!”

Even though all eyes will be on Farley when she walks down the aisle, her daughter Meilani, who will serve as the flower girl, may steal a little of the spotlight in a mini-version of her mom’s wedding dress.

“She’ll be about 15 months at that point, so she’ll be rocking and rolling,” she says. “Her dress will be very similar to mine. Similar fabric, only the basic kind of square-cut baby girl dress with a little bow around it, something super cute.”

Now as the new mom — who served as a bridesmaid for Jersey Shore pal Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi — looks forward to taking her vows at the black-tie affair, she’s keeping her daily routine low-key.

“I like to just get the gym in, and take a shower. Those are my goals every day,” she said, adding that Lyfe Tea detox helps her stay in shape. “But it’s not easy because if Meilani doesn’t want me in the shower, or at the gym, she’s not having it. It is what it is. I don’t care about looking like a slob anymore, I have nobody to impress, I’m getting married to him.”
