As she gears up for Paris Hilton's upcoming nuptials, Nicky Hilton Rothschild has an important message for all you bridesmaids out there: Shut up! The fashion designer and mother of two dished on wedding planning with her big sister while promoting her new Spring 2018 Mommy & Me collection for Tolani, which is now available online. Nicky also talked to Wonderwall.com about how her two daughters (and Paris!) inspired the colorful collection, why she's thankful her little ones are so close in age and more. Keep reading for the highlights from our chat…

Nicky Hilton on her Spring 2018 Mommy & Me collection for Tolani:

"I've been a fan of Tolani for years. I love their silk tops and tunics and dresses. They're known for their beautiful, vibrant prints, so when I was working on my collection with them, I really wanted to develop beautiful, unique prints."

Nicky Hilton on drawing inspiration from her own life for her Tolani collection:

"Like any woman, I love dressing up. Having daughters and being able to dress them up with me is a fun experience. My children were definitely an inspiration behind this collection — and I grew up dressing as twins with my sister."

Nicky Hilton on the subtle wink to the women in her family with her Tolani collection:

"I actually named all the pieces in the collection after the women in my family — all my cousins, my sister-in-law and my nieces."

Nicky Hilton on why this was the time to do a children's collection:

"I've been designing since I was a teenager. I've done handbags, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics — the children's space is something that I never went into because I didn't have my own children and I thought it would've been inauthentic. So doing this project now, it's a real passion project. It's the perfect time to do it with two little girls now."

Nicky Hilton on juggling two kids under the age of 2:

"It's a lot more tiring having two because I used to be able to take little nap breaks, but now I'm just constantly going back and forth. But it's great because the bond I share with my sister is one of the most special, meaningful relationships in my whole life. Hopefully I'm able to give that bond to my girls — it's really special."

Nicky Hilton on whether or not she planned to have kids so close in age:

"I did want to have them similar in age. I didn't know they would be THIS close in age." [Laughs.]

Nicky Hilton on her plans to expand her family:

"Right now, I'm really content with my two little ones. But you never know!"

Nicky Hilton on planning Paris's wedding:

"It's such a fun process, the whole thing — picking out the silverware and the flowers and the food. I'm so happy to share that with her. I think my mom and I will take the lead."

Nicky Hilton on Paris's plans for her wedding dress:

"She definitely has her own vision, but we're always going to each other for advice and bouncing ideas off each other. So she's asking questions and wanting to know what types of dresses she'll need for the brunch and the night before for the rehearsal dinner. … There will definitely be more than one [wedding dress]. … I just had a wedding dress and then an afterparty dress because my dress was too big. You couldn't move around too easily in that one."

Nicky Hilton on her bridesmaid dress for Paris's wedding:

"We haven't [chosen one yet], but I have a feeling that it will probably be pink because that is her favorite color. I did powder blue [for my wedding] because I love powder blue."

Nicky Hilton on her top advice for bridesmaids:

"I have learned to keep my mouth shut. Bridesmaids wear what they're told to wear — end of story. It's rude. It's the bride's day and she puts her girls in what she wants."
