'Dancing With the Stars' News: Kym Johnson Reveals What She's 'Steering Clear' Of For Upcoming Wedding [VIDEO]
Kym Johnson's wedding dress won't be anything like her typical Dancing With the Stars dresses.
Johnson is set to marry former DWTS celebrity partner Robert Herjavec, but she has no intention of wearing a wedding dress modeled after the styles of the dance competition.
"A lot of [the dresses] I tried on I felt like I was putting a 'Dancing With the Stars' dress on I'd worn before," Johnson told Us Weekly, of her wedding dress shopping experience. "I'm used to wearing slinky sort of lace things, a lot of beading on 'Dancing With the Stars', so I wanted to stay clear of that."
Her enthusiasm for designing her dress may be a bit out of the ordinary, but she has experience.
"It's been a really fun process [to help design the dress]," she admitted. "A lot of designers will look at me like, 'What?' But I'm used to doing it for the show!"
Johnson has also cut out all alcohol over the past three weeks, which has apparently made a big difference.
"I feel it in my skin. Some people have told me that my skin looks really good, and I think it's the no-alcohol thing," Johnson said, though she will eventually be having some champagne, of course.
"I'll be having a champagne before I walk down the aisle," she said. "I'll be so nervous!"
Johnson and Herjavec met during season 20 of Dancing With the Stars when they were paired together. Their chemistry was apparent almost immediately, and they made it all the way to six place, an impressive feat for an older celebrity. They eventually started dating and were engaged to be married on Feb. 27 of this year. A specific wedding date is not yet known.
Meanwhile, Dancing With the Stars season 23 begins this fall on ABC, in the Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT timeslot.
