The loved-up couple are set to tie the knot next year in a ceremony that her brother Robert has been contributing to as well.

In a separate interview with People.com, he joked that he thought Hollywood actor Idris Elba should DJ at their wedding.

He also said he thought the wedding should have a “wow factor”.

“I’ve been giving a lot of input but none of it has been taken on-board,” he said.

Bindi Irwin has given fans a sneak peek at her wedding dress, posting this photo to Instagram captioned "I said yes to the dress".

“I have so many ideas. Idris Elba, I love him! He should DJ at their wedding.”

“I wanted choppers involved, like repelling out of choppers, SWAT team style,” he added. “That would be a cool entrance. Or a floating stage. You need the wow factor.”

But Bindi has laughed off his suggestions, saying: “All of Robert’s ideas are very expensive and grand.”

Robert will be walking her down the aisle in place of her late father.
