While chatting with PEOPLE at the inaugural TikTok Awards, hosted by La La Anthony, at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Dec. 18, the bride-to-be, 27, revealed what she and her fiancé, Joey Graziadei, 30, are “super excited for” going into the new year.
“I’m really looking forward to solidifying wedding venues this year,” Anderson says. “We’ve looked at a couple already, and super excited for that.”

Although Anderson is making advances in wedding planning, she’s not becoming a bridezilla, with her noting that her only wedding must-have is that she and Graziadei are “happy” on their big day.
“I’m kind of for whatever makes us happy, that’s my non-negotiable,” she says.
At Heidi Klum’s Halloween Party in New York City on Oct. 31, Anderson reiterated that wedding planning is a priority for 2026, with purchasing her ceremony gown at the top of her to-do list.
She told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in May that she envisions a “timeless” wedding aesthetic.
“I want it to be able, in 30 or 40 years, to look like it could be done then,” Anderson noted to the outlet, adding that she hopes the celebration is a combination of both her and Graziadei.
“I want the wedding to be a part of both of us,” she shared. “I know a lot of times the guys kind of let the lady take over, but I don’t know [about that]. I want it to be a representation of both of us equally.”
Anderson and the Dancing with the Stars champion, who got engaged during the season 28 finale of The Bachelor that aired last year, have repeatedly expressed that they don’t want to rush wedding planning because they want to enjoy their engagement.

Speaking to PEOPLE in January, Anderson said that just because her romance with Graziadei has been a whirlwind doesn’t mean they need to sprint down the aisle.
“Because we got engaged so fast — we got engaged in two months — we want to really take our time still getting to know each other and be really serious about the wedding, and we don’t want it to be a stressful thing,” Anderson said at the time. “We want to be able to enjoy the process of picking out the things that matter most to us in our wedding.”
