Getting ready to say 'I do'

As we enter the new year, New takes a look at the stars planning their big days

They've been enjoying every moment of their engagement bubbles - and now Ferne McCann and Lucy Mecklenburgh could be set to walk down the aisle in 2023.

It looks as if preparations are in full swing for Ferne who got engaged to Lorri Haines last July- and Lucy - who said yes to Ryan Thomas in June 2019 - and the former TOWIE stars know exactly what they want. Lucy has hinted that she's opting for an elegant and timeless wedding, while sources say Ferne is choosing something small and intimate.

And other stars who are ready to join them in saying "I do" include Katy Perry, Nick Grimshaw, Brooke Vincent, Perrie Edwards and Olivia Attwood.

Here's what we know so far about their plans...

She put her wedding plans on the “back burner” due to lockdown and having a second child, but it seems Lucy Mecklenburgh could be getting hitched to Ryan Thomas this year after liking a string of bridal-related posts on Instagram.

Stunning wedding table set-ups with a pale pink, white and cream colour scheme have caught Lucy’s eye, and she recently liked a pastel “wild” floral table by Katrina Otter Weddings. They are the resident wedding planners at Holywell Hall in Stamford, Lincolnshire, and describe their weddings as timeless and naturally elegant.

The tables also had a selection of gorgeous wine glasses, rattan place mats, white china plates with an attractive scallop edging, classy gold and white cutlery and cream taper candles in extravagant holders.
