The 'Sherlock' star - who announced his engagement to Sophie Hunter earlier this month - has hinted that their ceremony will be incredibly intimate.
He told Us Weekly: "I think I'll be having a very private wedding."
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old actor has previously praised the love that came "flooding" in after he announced the good news.
He recently said: "One of the most incredible things about getting engaged, which we had no idea would be coming back our way, is the amount of love that just comes flooding back.
"I thought it was just all about us declaring that we were in love and getting married, but actually it's the world going, 'We love you too!' It's amazing. Family, friends, the world ... it's amazing."
The couple - who met on the set of 'Burlesque Fairytales' in 2009 - started dating earlier this year.
They confirmed their upcoming nuptials in the 'Births, Deaths and Marriages' section of a British newspaper on the 5th November.

Kourtney Kardashian has hinted that her baby is due around Christmas time.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star - who already has two children, Mason, 4, and Penelope, 2, with partner Scott Disick - is planning to keep her obstetrician and gynaecologist close by.
She joked: "I'm going to keep him handcuffed to me!
"With Mason, I was due on December 24 and my mom said, 'No, not on the night of my Christmas Eve party! But he was born 10 days early, so we'll see what happens this time."
The 35-year-old television personality also revealed that she loves being pregnant but admitted that this one is the hardest out of the three so far.
She said: "I love being pregnant in general. This time I'm more tired than I was the other times. I think it's because I'm always running around and working on different things.
"But I feel comfortable with how I look and feel. I find a pregnant body to be beautiful and an incredible reminder of what a woman's body is made to do."
Meanwhile, Kourtney has admitted that Christmas in her house has become a much more exciting time since she had her children.
She told Fit Pregnancy magazine: "I didn't always [decorate]. Now that I have children, I love to decorate to create the same magical experiences my mom created for my siblings and me when we were younger.
"I think we had four trees last year! I take the kids to pick out a little one and we decorate it together. Also, before Christmas, I host a party for our kids and all their friends. We love to make a mess while decorating gingerbread houses."

Sheryl Crow is selling her cowboy boots for charity.
The 'Soak Up The Sun' hitmaker has decided to offload the clothes, shoes and accessories she no longer wears on eBay's Charity Shop to raise money for the Feeding America charity.
She said: "I've toured for 20-something years, and I've collected a lot of stuff over the course of that time. I've decided I'm going to start auctioning off clothes, boots, handbags - anything that's in my closet that no longer gets used is going to go on eBay, and people can buy these items, name brands and otherwise."
The 52-year-old star has been involved with the non-profit organisation for two decades and now has the help of her two adopted sons Wyatt, seven, and Levi, four - with whom she lives in Nashville.
She told PEOPLE magazine: "It's not necessarily about writing a cheque, it's about showing up and volunteering. After having volunteered in Nashville, you see the kind of people who come into the food bank.
"It's not just homeless people, it's moms who are struggling to feed their kids; it's people who are out of work. It's a really necessary entity for a lot of people who are just trying to make ends meet."
And Sheryl insists she won't miss the cowboy boots she decides to sell to raise money, as she's got dozens more in her collection.
She added: "I've got over 80 pairs of cowboy boots or boots in general, and I've got quite a few pairs of blue jeans ... It makes you feel so grateful to have what you have and to be able to help someone else."

Keira Knightley finds Benedict Cumberbatch's fans terrifying.
The 29-year-old actress insists her 'Imitation Game' co-star's devoted female followers - who are dubbed 'The Cumberbitches' - are "lovely" but she finds their level of obsession unnerving.
She said: "The Cumberbitches. It's terrifying.
"I mean, they're lovely. I feel terrified saying they're terrifying cause they might come after me. So... yes, it's amazing! They're very artistic! They paint pictures of him.
"You go to premieres and there's these amazing paintings of Ben looking Ben-like... [They're] a very hysterical, artistic type."
The 'Begin Again' actress - who first worked with the 38-year-old hunk on 'Atonement' in 2007 - was left red-faced when she was urged to sign autographs for Benedict's fans at the UK premiere of 'The Imitation Game'.
Speaking to 'Late Night' host Seth Meyers, she recalled: "I actually had a really embarrassing moment at the London premiere, because - they really do - they scream more than I've ever heard for anyone else, but I had a publicist with me and she went, 'You know, go sign some autographs.'
"I went over there and went, 'Oh yeah, of course, of course, no problem!' And they were like, 'Oh no, we don't want you. We're just here for Ben.' "

Carrie Underwood learned she was expecting a baby boy while having dinner with her husband.
The 'Something In the Water' singer and spouse Mike Fisher are expecting their first child together but felt the sonographer's office was too "sterile" a place to learn the exciting news about the tot's gender, so asked her to write it down for them to read when they were ready.
She said: "It's kind of a sterile place. We got to see all the pictures and everything. It was really cool to see that, but whenever she'd get near those parts, we would look away."
Instead, the pair took the sealed envelope to a restaurant when they went on a date night.
Carrie, 31, added to ABC News radio: "[It was] just the two of us in a nicer setting, but we both knew.
"So, that was just confirming our suspicions. We didn't really speak of it before, 'cause we were both just like, 'Whatever. It's all good.' But we knew it was a boy."
News broke that the country star is having a boy at the recent CMA Awards thanks to Carrie's co-host Brad Paisley, and the blonde beauty claimed she always knew he wouldn't be able to keep it secret.
She laughed: "Brad's got loose lips. He's a blabber mouth!. So, I was like, 'I'm not gonna tell you until we're ready for the rest of the world to know, 'cause I know you'll tell people.'"
The 'American Idol' winner also admitted she and her 34-year-old hockey player husband were overwhelmed when they recently went shopping to prepare for their new arrival, who is due next spring.
She said: "We went to Babies'R'Us and we were walking around and I was, like, 'This is just so overwhelming!'
"I just don't want to get the wrong things, you know? I don't know what most of it does. There are, like, 5,000 things to choose from, and I'm like, 'Do we need that?! I don't know!' "

Charlie Day has a Zac Efron shrine in his house.
The 'Horrible Bosses' 2' star lives next door to the 27-year-old actor and fans of the hunk often get confused which house is his so they end up leaving their love letters in Charlie's letterbox by mistake, so he has put them all up on a room in his abode in tribute to Zac.
When asked on talk show 'Conan' if he gets inundated with paparazzi outside his house waiting for Zac, Charlie said: "It's more like strange teenage girls writing love letters and confusing my gate, I have a gate, my gate with his gate.
"So I get these strange letters covered in hearts and, 'I love you Zac' and 'you're the greatest', then I don't know what to do with them.
"So I'm putting them all up on a wall in my house. I'm gonna invite him over and be like, 'Zac ... this is my room. My shrine for you!' Freak him out pretty good."
Talk show host Conan O'Brien then insisted Zac might be slightly terrified at the sight of Charlie's shrine, and he replied: "Then I'll show him my real shrine."
As well as being overshadowed by Zac outside his house, Charlie also admitted the majority of questions he was asked on his recent 'Horrible Bosses 2' press tour around the world were about his co-star Jennifer Aniston.
He explained: "She's fabulous, but again they're all just like, 'So, in the movie, will she make some kind of love to you? Does she touch you? How many times? Where does she touch you?'
"You know, I'm like, 'No, she doesn't touch me, it's just a movie,' and they're like, 'But outside of the movie do you brush against her?' "

Lorde insists Diplo is like a "big brother" to her.
The 'Royals' hitmaker recently claimed the DJ - whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz - has a small penis after he called for a fundraising account to pay for her friend Taylor Swift a bigger butt, but the 18-year-old star insists there is no bad feeling between them.
She said: "I love Wes and he's a big brother to me and one of my first friends in the industry, and part of having a friendship with someone like that is not letting them say stupid s**t.
"Taylor's my friend as well, and I'm a girl, and if I see some weird body-shaming on my feed I'm going to be like, 'Hey man...' We do still love each other, hopefully."
Despite her public diss to Diplo, Lorde insists she hasn't always been so outspoken.
She told FADER: "I've been notoriously quiet my whole life. So it wasn't until I started to be able to run a board meeting and direct people in the way I wanted things to go that I gained confidence as a leader. As a businessperson, I got confident in saying, 'Hey, this is whack.' "
Diplo - who is believed to be dating Katy Perry - recently claimed he was disappointed Lorde's request for someone to pay for him a penis enlargement hadn't been fulfilled.
He wrote: "Disappointed the swift boat veterans didn't get my tiny d**k a fundly going (enlarge me bae).(sic)"
The 36-year-old music producer initially called for someone to create a fundraising account to help get the 'Shake It Off' star a new derriere.
He wrote: "Someone should make a kickstarter to get taylor swift a booty (sic)"
He later added: "body shaming myself right now.
"are taylor swift fans called the swift boat veterans? (sic)"
In response to Diplo, Lorde wrote: "should we do something about your tiny penis while we're at it hm (sic)"

Charli XCX once "passed out" in Katy Perry's bathroom.
The 'Boom Clap' singer visited the 30-year-old star's home to discuss touring plans, but a heavy evening of drinking the night before led to the alarming incident.
She told Shortlist magazine: "I went to her house, but was so hungover, I had one drink and passed out in her bathroom."
Katy - who is currently rumoured to be dating hit DJ, Diplo - was not scared of the 22-year-old popstar though, and asked the young singer to support her on her 2015 European tour dates.
The support slot was not something which the 'Fancy' singer expected though, admitting: "I'm surprised she asked me."
The star also recently revealed another drunken incident which resulted in a positive outcome, explaining she was inebriated when she wrote 'Kingdom' with Vampire Weekend musician Rostam Batmanglij, which now features on the soundtrack of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1'.
She told music website Pitchfork: "We went to the Miley Cyrus show in LA and got really wasted. Then we went back to his house and I sat on top of his piano, and we wrote 'Kingdom'. We sung it into his phone.
"I remember thinking in the morning, 'Ugh, this is going to be the worst thing ever,' but it was really good.
"So when Ella [Lorde] reached out to me about the soundtrack, I decided to send her that song even though it's really different than my usual s**t. She was really complimentary about it."
