Bridal Buzz

Well, here it is. The last video (by the oh-so-fantastic Elixir Entertainment) from the first Bridal Gown Slim Down. We’re a little sad that it’s over but so happy that it turned out as well as it did. In this episode you’ll see the announcement of our winner and hear final comments from all the contestants.

Doug Rice and me with Bridal Gown Slim Down winner, Nicole Lee.

NICOLE LEE! Last night, at a lovely soirée at Times Ten Cellars, with friends and family present, we announced Nicole as the Bridal Gown Slim Down winner. It was heartbreaking not to be able to give all the contestants the grand prize because every one of them worked their butt off (literally and figuratively) over the last three months. They all had an incredible attitude, participated in every aspect of the contest and saw results. To us, they are all winners! Unfortunately though, only one could get the grand prize. Not only was Nicole the top loser (pun intended) with a 24-pound loss but over three months she attended Bridalicious Boot Camp fifty times, sometimes twice a day. Watch for Nicole in the next issue of D Weddings (which won’t be out until December but don’t worry, we’ll remind you).

We wish all our contestants, a wonderful wedding day and congratulate them on their accomplishments throughout this contest!

And we’d like to give one last shout out to everyone who helped make this contest happen. We couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks to: Doug Rice and his Bridalicious Boot Camp, Jason Traub of Elixir Entertainment, Gil’s Elegant Catering, Helmutwalker Photography, SaraBeth Events, Terry Costa, My Fit Foods, The Adolphus, Times Ten Cellars and Studio 22.

Oh, and don’t miss the Bridal Gown Slim Down Finale video coming to BridalBuzz on Tuesday!

Don’t hate me but I can’t tell you yet. What I can tell you though is that I will post the name of the winner on Friday, July 15 at 9am CST. So mark your calendars to check BridalBuzz that day. Want to know what the winner will receive? Click here. Good luck to all our girls who worked their butts off over the last three months. If we could make them all winners, we would. But alas, only one can take home the prizes. So sit tight and we’ll see you on the 15th!

The competition has ended but we’re not finished yet! Besides announcing the winner (which should happen soon – we will be sure to let you know when) we still have one more fabulous video from Elixir Entertainment to share. So grab some popcorn, put your feet up and enjoy!
