Julianne Hough is not looking to rush into marriage.

The former Dancing with the Stars judge and pro has been engaged to fiance Brooks Laich since August of last year, but the couple is apparently not focused on their wedding at all.

"We're not great planners. We don't even have a date yet. We're really just enjoying our engagement period because we're never going to be here again," Hough, 27, told Refinery29.

"Even when we were dating, we were like, 'Let's just be boyfriend and girlfriend.' And now that we're engaged, it's 'let's just be fiances.' When we get married, we'll be husband and wife. And then, we'll be mom and dad. We just want to enjoy each stage of our relationship."

Hough and the Canadian NHL player got engaged after dating for more than one year. Although they're not actively planning their nuptials, Hough still knows what she wants.

"We both want to keep it as intimate as possible -- that's just more our style and our vibe. But I have a very big family, so intimate to us might be big to some people," Hough said, adding that she's "pretty sure" the wedding will take place outdoors.

Hough's latest projects other than Dancing with the Stars include her "Move Live on Tour" project and playing Sandy in Fox's live musical production of Grease.

"This is the first time I've ever just been kind of free of any contracts. I'm not doing Dancing with the Stars. I'm not on any kind of tour," Hough told Refinery29 earlier this month.

The blonde beauty served as a DWTS judge for three seasons in a row beginning with Season 19. Before she landed her spot as a judge on Dancing with the Stars, she competed as a pro partner on Seasons 4 through 8.

"I think in the next phase of my life, I really want to create and develop projects. I think the thing that really fulfills me and inspires me is just creating -- coming up with an idea and seeing it through to fruition," Hough noted.
