Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne will "definitely" book their wedding in January.
The couple recently got engaged but have been too busy to make any firm plans for their big day, but plan to take action once the festive season is over.
Jacqueline said: "We've been to see a few venues but we've not chosen one yet.
"We've been too busy to actually finalise anything."
Dan added: "We're still hoping to do it next summer. We'll definitely get something booked in January when we have some more time on our hands."
Former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Dan is planning to be very hands-on with the wedding planning.
Jacqueline - who has a nine-month-old daughter, Ella, with Dan - said: "Everyone keeps asking if I'm going to be a bridezilla but I think it'll be the other way round - Daniel will be the crazy one."
Dan added: "I don't want to big myself up but I've got good style and I'm a perfectionist.
"I know what colours go together and I even think I'd be good at choosing the flowers."

Kate Garraway turns her car into a Christmas "grotto" every year.
The 'Good Morning Britain' presenter - who has kids Darcey, 10, and Jack, five, with husband Derek Draper - knows driving to visit people can be one of the most "dull" parts of the festive season so she and her spouse do what they can to make it fun.
She said: "Since Derek and I have been married, we've spent Christmas Eve up in Manchester with my in-laws.
"Because the drive is so dull, we make the car into a grotto with decorations and Christmas music and we dress up.
"Derek was a reindeer one year but his antlers kept hitting the car roof."
Kate doesn't tend to do her Christmas shopping early because she knows her children will change their minds frequently about what they want to find under the tree.
She said: "The kids inevitably change their minds a hundred times so we don't buy anything until closer to Christmas - although they start planning as soon as the Toys R Us adverts kick in."
And the 48-year-old presenter admitted she is "terrible" at choosing gifts for her husband.
She said: "I'm terrible at his gifts - for the past few years I've been saying I'll get him golf clubs but I never do."

Vicky Pattison is going to be a panellist on 'Loose Women'.
The 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' winner has been signed up to appear alongside regulars such as Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan and Janet Street-Porter and will join the TV show in the New Year.
Bosses hope her popularity in the jungle will attract more younger viewers.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Vicky won 'I'm A Celeb...' by a landslide so everyone knows she is popular, especially with a younger audience. ITV are desperate to keep a hold of her and invest in her as a future star. She really impressed Loose Women's editors when she was a guest this month.
"She isn't one to hold back with her opinions and will love getting stuck in during debates. This could be her big chance to land a full-time presenting gig."
Vicky, 28, will start with a one month trial and if she proves to be a hit then she'll be given a permanent contract.
When the former 'Geordie Shore' star appeared as a guest on the programme earlier this month she revealed she wanted to host a late night version of 'Loose Women' titled 'Loose Lasses', with no topic off-limits.
She said: "I've got an idea to pitch to you. I'm going all 'Dragons' Den'! You ladies have inspired me and I want to do something similar but later at night so I can swear, called 'Loose Lasses'. Just like you but a little bit sassier!"

Emma Willis wouldn't go into the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
The 39-year-old television presenter - who hosts the programme - insists she'd be "fine" locked in the mansion but doesn't think her husband Matt Willis would cope well.
She said: "We'd be fine as a couple but I think we'd be boring TV. We'd be terrified, so we'd just sit in a corner going, 'Oh my God, what are we doing?'
"Matt would go out of his brain with boredom because he always has to have something to do."
And Emma's co-host Rylan Clark - who previously appeared in the show - believes it would be hard for the pair to enjoy it as they know all the secrets, like where the cameras are or which mirrors are two-way ones.
He told the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper: "Presenting Big Brother is a bit like a magician's trick - we know all the smoke and mirrors.
"We know where all the cameras are, how the doors lock, how it works as a TV set. We'd be looking at the two-way mirrors and we'd know who was behind there."
Meanwhile, David Gest has been lined up to appear on the new series, which kicks off early next month.
A source told BANG Showbiz: "It's a big deal to get Gest in the house ... Now he's signed on the dotted line he's sure to be very popular with his stories about his close friends Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston and of course he has a legion of fans to get behind him from his stint in the jungle on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' who fell in love with his antics."

Kym Marsh is a "better version" of herself since dating Matt Baker.
The 'Coronation Street' beauty believes she's much better than she was in her 20s and credits her personal trainer boyfriend for helping her get fit.
She said: "Now I'm a better version of me than I was in my twenties and I am so much happier. I feel much more comfortable and confident in a bikini and it does feel good to do a photoshoot without dreading what the pictures would look like.
"When Matt saw the results he was really impressed too. It would have been a bit grim if he hadn't - I would have been like, 'Well, it's your doing.' Often, people find it hard to train with their partners. I don't know if it is a respect thing or because they'd end up bickering. Whatever he's done has worked for me and we are happy. Things are good."
The 39-year-old star is getting ready to celebrate her 40th birthday next year and decided to start exercising more after she got stuck in a bit of a rut.
She added to The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I totally do what Matt tells me to do in the gym - even if that is the only place. Exercise has always been quite important to me but until three months ago I was finding it harder and harder to get to the gym ... I did get very down about missing sessions because I wanted to feel stronger and fitter, not like I was just dragging myself around every day.
"I didn't want to turn 40 feeling like that. So Matt, who saw how frustrated I was, suggested coming up with some exercises I could do at home."

Liz Dawn has had a "career-long ambition" to appear in 'Emmerdale'.
The 76-year-old actress - who portrayed Vera Duckworth in rival soap 'Coronation Street' for over three decades - admits she's got the acting bug back after she had a cameo over Christmas in the long-running programme, which is based in Yorkshire.
She said: "It's been a career-long ambition of mine to appear in 'Emmerdale'. I am a Yorkshire girl after all. In a way it's so strange that I became famous in 'Coronation Street', which is Lancashire through and through.
"It's only a cameo but I would love to do more episodes and bob back in and out from time to time to get more involved."
And Liz admits it was "strange" returning to a different soap but insists she had no reason to worry about being nervous as it was just like "riding a bike".
She added to the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It did feel a bit strange playing another character, especially as I knew all the crew recognised me as having played Vera, and I felt a bit edgy. But that's not a bad thing - a few nerves to give you a bit of a lift.
"Mrs Winterbottom is not a bit like Vera, she is snooty for a start - a bit like a Yorkshire Hyacinth Bucket.
"In the end I was worried over nothing, everybody I was working with was lovely and you know when you've been doing something for so long, it was just like riding a bike - it's a different character but it's the same method."

Ben Collins wants to return to 'Top Gear'.
The 40-year-old stunt driver - who left his position as masked racer The Stig in 2010 after his identity was revealed - is keen to be a part of either the revamped series of the BBC motoring show or former hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond's forthcoming programme on Amazon.
Asked if he'd be interested in either show, he said: "I would love to but I've not heard anything about that but I'll wait and see.
"Who knows what the future will hold but I'll be in and out of a car doing what I love doing most. "
Ben is still in touch with Jeremy, Richard and James and enjoyed working with them recently on 'Top Gear Live'.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "We did quite a fun thing where they are pretending to be out of a job and the car presenters find me in a garage as a kind of dialect, tramp figure and drag me into driving the cars for them.
"That was quite fun. I got to work with them a few months ago and I had a great time."

Martin Freeman felt like he was on "holiday" whilst filming the 'Sherlock' Christmas special.
The 44-year-old actor - who stars as Dr. John Watson in the British crime drama series - has revealed he relished the experience of making the eagerly-awaited special episode, in part because he was asked to wear traditional Victorian attire.
Asked whether he and co-star Benedict Cumberbatch enjoyed dressing more traditionally, he told BANG Showbiz: "It was very nice. It kind of felt like a holiday, like mufti day at school or something."
'Sherlock' is usually set in modern times and Martin admitted it was nice to take a "little detour" into Victorian London for the Christmas special.
The British star - who's appeared on the show since 2010 - said: "I mean, I suppose I never see our version as the true ... our version is in modern dress, you know. So it felt like a nice little detour.
"And as soon as you see Ben in the gear and you see me in the gear, we definitely look like Holmes and Watson, as opposed to Sherlock and John. It was good fun, it was really good fun."

Caroline Flack is hosting Christmas Day for the first time.
The 36-year-old presenter has never had all her family come over for the festive season, and though her decision to take on the duty has shocked a lot of people, she thinks it's the right time.
She said: "I'm hosting Christmas Day. Everyone has done the same [shocked] face but I am 36, although I've never done it before. It is my first time."
And Caroline has even refused any help from her family when it comes to preparing food.
She added: "My family are like, 'We'll bring dishes'. I'm like, 'You don't need to bring dishes.'"
The blonde beauty will rejoice in the well deserved break during the festive period after hosting the 'X Factor' because it has been "full on", though she wouldn't have it any other way.
She added to BANG Showbiz: "It's full on. There's no time for a break. It's like once you're in you're in it and we're in it until the final and there's no down time and I love that though. I love being immersed in something like all consuming."
