Bridal Buzz

In this episode, Jason Traub of Elixir Entertainment interviewed each contestant’s fiancé, captured the ladies doing more “sweating for the wedding” at Doug Rice’s Bridalicious Boot Camp, and took them to try on gowns at Terry Costa. Check it out.

As you probably know from our Bridal Gown Slim Down contest, Doug Rice is the creator of the fabulous, fat-burning, muscle-toning Bridalicous boot camp classes. Now, the fitness expert, who has been helping brides get in shape for years, is going to help you! Each Thursday, for the remainder of the contest, I will be posting his tips and tricks to help you look your very best for the big day. So get ready for some motivation!

If you want to know what goes on in the mind of a Bridal Gown Slim Down contestant, then check back here each Tuesday when we will post their answers to our questions about the experience. We’ll find out how they feel, what they’re thinking, how the Bridalicious Boot Camp classes are going, etc. Got a question for them yourself? Just post it in the comments section of this blog and we will do our best to get a response.

Here is this week’s question:

What did you learn during your first week as a Bridal Gown Slim Down contestant that you didn’t expect?

(Click “Read More” for the answers!)

I bet you’re dying to know what they are. Well, you won’t have to wait much longer. First though, I just have to tell you that we have some seriously gracious wedding vendors in Dallas. This contest wouldn’t be possible without their generous contributions. So we’d like to give them a big “thank you” for helping to make one bride’s dream wedding a reality. Now, what was it that I was going to do next. Hmm, can’t remember… Oh, yes! Without further adieu, click “Read More” for the list of fantastic prizes!

Beginning next week, I will be asking our Bridal Gown Slim Down contestants one question per week about their experience during the contest. I will post their responses every Tuesday. Do you have a question you’d like me to ask them? If so, put it in the comments here and I will do my best to get their answers!

Jason Traub of Elixir Entertainment interviewed our contestants and put together this fantastic recap of their first week “sweating for the wedding” at Doug Rice’s Bridalicious Boot Camp. Check it.

A few weeks ago, we held a last call “audition” for our Bridal Gown Slim Down contest. It was a great way for the applicants get a feel for what they’d be in for should they be chosen, and it helped us get to know the women a little bit better. It was held on a gorgeous Saturday morning at The Filter Building at White Rock Lake (a very cool wedding venue, by the way). Doug Rice, Bridalicious creator, led them through one of his boot camp classes while DJ Glenn Roush with Roush Weddings spun the tunes. Gil’s Catering and My Fit Foods provided snacks while Elixir Entertainment recorded the applicant interviews. Sarabeth Events was there to assist with any wedding planning queries and Helmutwalker captured every moment in some fantastic photos. (Click “Read More” to see them.) Fortunately, none of the women (that we know of) were turned off by the experience. In fact, many said it motivated them. It wasn’t easy picking the winners as there were a lot of worthy applicants. But we somehow managed to do it. We’ve got some tough brides on board and the competition will be stiff. Stay tuned to BridalBuzz as we follow the contestants through the 90-day contest. Good luck to all!

Hello, bridal beauties. It’s me, your friend, D Weddings editor and spotlight lover Laura Kostelny. I’ve elbowed Kristin Hull out of the way, and now BridalBuzz is mine, all mine! Prepare for The Bachelor and Real Housewives updates ad nauseam. Just teasing. Kristin is out of the office, so I am here to report on the five lovely and amazing contestants who will be competing in our Bridal Gown Slim Down.  Just to refresh your memory, we will be following the 90-day journeys of five engaged women as they engage in a healthier lifestyle. They’ll be training with the great Doug Rice at his notable Bridalicious Boot Camp. They’ll be eating better. They’ll be competing for prizes that will make their wedding a dream as well as for a page in an upcoming issue of D Weddings. And we’ll capture the blood, sweat, and tears on film, thanks to our friend, videographer Jason Traub of Elixir Entertainment. Now let’s meet the ladies.
