After the final rose has been given out and the television cameras are off, contestants from the smash ABC reality show, "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" are thrust back into real life. "Bachelorette" star Ashley Hebert sat down with us at the launch of Apothic White Wine to talk about wedding details, life with winner J.P. Rosenbaum and their plans for the future!

You told fans on the "After the Final Rose" special that you and J.P. were starting wedding planning, how would you describe your approach to wedding planning?

"I definitely plan on having help! I'm all about working with a wedding planner to help me create my dream day. I just want all of our family and friends to come together for a big celebration and enjoy the day."

Would you televise your wedding or do a reality show with J.P.?

"No plans as of now, but we're definitely not against it! For the wedding, we're considering all options, on TV or off TV. No specific time frame; we really want to settle first. We could do it in the summer or winter. We just don't know yet!"

Now that you've left reality TV, what's the most important thing to keep in mind in your relationship?

"J.P. and I really balance each other out. We bring out the best in one another. He is serious and he keeps me grounded, and I am silly and keep him having fun! Chrystie [Corns, Hebert's sister] gave me really good advice, which I think applies to everyone. She said, 'Once you're married, always work on your marriage. Even if you're having a bad day, week, or month - continue working it out with each other.'"

What projects are you looking forward to in the future?

"Right now, I'm really focused on my everyday life. We're moving to New Jersey soon and I'll be starting my dental residency [at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children]. I'm looking forward to living in suburbia versus the big city and having a regular schedule!"

In addition to moving, you started writing a new blog, "J.P. and Ashley." What are your favorite topics to write about?

"I love to write about all different topics - health, lifestyle, beauty, celebs and of course,' The Bachelor/Bachelorette.' Our blog is really just a sounding board for our friends, family and fans - it's a place for me to be goofy and silly and write about whatever is on my mind."

Keep an eye on Ashley's blog as she'll be posting about the new season of "The Bachelorette" starring Emily Maynard, which premieres May 14.
