Snooki's big day is approaching!

The MTV reality star shopped for a wedding gown and shared a picture from the dressing room via her official website Thursday. "This is NOT dress, but something like it," she wrote. "How gorgeous is this dress? I loved it, but needed more of an UMPH. I'm too short for an elegant mermaid dress, but I loved how vintage and classy this was. Can't wait for the big day to show you all the dress I did pick out!"

Snooki got engaged to Jionni LaValle when she was pregnant in 2012. The couple welcomed son Lorenzo that summer, and now the Snooki & JWOWW star is expecting a baby girl, due later this year.

The former Jersey Shore star, 26, is planning a Great Gatsby­-themed wedding.

"I picked out my bridesmaid dresses last week and I cannot wait!" the former Dancing With the Stars contestant blogged March 26. "They are beyond gorgeous and going to look fabulous on everyone! My bridesmaids all have different body types, so I wanted to make sure the dress that I picked would look good on everyone. My next step is to ask my girls, and then figure out their jewelry and hair!"

"I'm now searching some good hairstyles from the '20s, something very elegant and classy but sexy at the same time," she added. "For makeup I'm thinking the girls have a natural, sexy look with a red lip. There's just so many decisions that need to be made, and it's hard because I'm loving everything I'm seeing!"

When Snooki announced her second pregnancy weeks later, she defended her prolonged engagement.

"I've also seen how upset people are getting at the fact that Jionni and I aren't married yet. I'm so glad you are all concerned about our life, but we are doing fine I assure you," the pint-sized reality star blogged. "We planned to have a second child before our wedding, and will indeed still be getting married in the fall of 2014. We are a committed family that will raise our children to be the best they can be and give them the best life we can give them. So please, enough with the rude marriage comments. We are getting there, just waiting for the right time. He is my best friend and trust me, we will be together until death do us part. (And even in the afterlife I will be stalking his ass)."
