    Back in February, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry got engaged after three years of on-and-off dating.

    The proposal was meticulously planned by Bloom, who took Perry out for an Italian meal before chartering a helicopter, where he proposed over glasses of champagne. They then flew on to a second location where all her friends and family were waiting to celebrate.

    In fact, just last week Perry revealed that Bloom had filled the second venue with "the most flowers you've ever seen", adding that she "loves him very much".

    Perry, however, has now revealed that she and Bloom are putting off planning their wedding in order to ensure that their foundation is solid before they tie the knot.

    During an appearance on Kiss FM, Perry was asked how the wedding planning was going, and she responded: "We're taking things one step at a time."

    Perry and Bloom have both previously been married to other people, which could account for her desire to ensure that their "emotional foundation" is strong and lasts forever.

    Perry famously married Russell Brand in 2010, but they split just 14 months later. She later revealed that she was so distraught by the divorce that she contemplated killing herself. Bloom, meanwhile, was married to model Miranda Kerr — with whom he has an 8-year-old son — for three years, divorcing in 2013.

    Perry did reveal that the wedding won't be a decadent showbiz affair when it does roll around.
