Orlando BloomandKaty Perryare moving forward with their relationship one step at a time.
A source close to the actor tells PEOPLE that the newly engaged couple — who recentlymoved in together — are “slowly planning their wedding,” but “they don’t have a date yet.”
“Their past weddings were, of course, very different,” adds the Bloom source. “They are trying to find a middle ground now.”
Bloom, 42, was previouslymarriedto model Miranda Kerr, 35, whom he wed in an intimate ceremony in July 2010 just one month aftertheir engagementwas confirmed. Perry, 34, similarly exchanged vows with ex-husbandRussell Brand, 43, in a private but extravagant ceremony in India in 2010 less than 10 months after getting engaged.
“Orlando always shied away from anything flashy,” the source says. “He doesn’t want a huge, celebrity wedding. But they also have many friends that are important to them. They are still figuring out the details. Katy will work with a planner.”

According to the source, one thing that’s certain about the wedding so far is that Bloom and Kerr’s 8-year-old son, Flynn, “will definitely be an important part” of it.
Bloom and Perry, whogot engaged on Valentine’s Day, are currentlyliving togetherin the pop star’s home, as it’s much more private. Since moving in with Perry, theLord of the Ringsalum is selling his own pad.
“Since they are engaged, it was just a natural step for them to live together,” the Bloom source previously told PEOPLE, adding that Kerr “doesn’t have an issue” with the living arrangement.
“Miranda knows Katy and the two get along,” the source said. “Miranda doesn’t have an issue with Flynn being at Katy’s house when Orlando has custody. Everyone is getting along great.”

Thehome is listedwith the Oppenheim Group, which represented Bloom when he purchased the house. His listing agent Jason Oppenheim is the subject of a new Netflix show calledSelling Sunset, which premiered on March 22.
“He did move in [to the house], but it was difficult because he was doing a remodel most of the time, so he wasn’t able to spend much time there,” Oppenheim told PEOPLE of Bloom. “He spent quite a bit of money and quite a bit of time. The pool took almost a year and a half. The interior stuff was a little quicker.”
Without having had much time to enjoy the renovation, the actor is now selling again, Oppenheim said: “As his personal circumstances recently changed with the engagement, he called me and asked me to sell it for him. It’s not really suitable for them right now as he’s no longer a bachelor.”
Bloom is selling his Beverly Hills bachelor pad for $8.999 million — almost $2 million more than what he paid when he bought the property less than two years ago, according toVariety.

Opening up about Bloom’sromantic marriage proposallast month, Perry revealed that he popped the question during a surprise helicopter ride.
“It was very sweet,” Perry shared during an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live.“We went to dinner and I thought we were going to go see some art after dinner but we pulled up to a helicopter.”
However, not every aspect of the proposal ended up going off without a hitch.
“The funny part is we had champagne in the helicopter and the [ring] box was in his pocket and he had written down everything he wanted to say on a note,” she revealed, explaining that the note was meant to divert her attention while he pulled out the ring.
“So I’m reading [the note] but I’m hearing the champagne is broken and the bottle’s everywhere … he’s pulling out this box that’s too big for his coat pocket, rips his coat pocket and his elbow goes into the champagne.”
Despite the mishaps, the proposal ended on a happy note and afterwards the pair “landed on a rooftop [in Los Angeles] — my whole family was there, and all my friends,” Perry recalled. “He did so well.”
