Charity said she's envisioning a "timeless and traditional" dress for the ceremony.

The Bachelorette alum then teased that she'll be wearing something "completely opposite" for the reception -- a "very romantic, flirty, festive and high-glam" look.

Charity also shared that she plans to coordinate with Dotun for a cultural component of the wedding.

"Me and Dotun are going to do be doing a traditional look when we're announced as a couple," Charity said, adding that the couple's outfits for this part of the wedding are "coming straight from Nigeria."

Charity also shared that she'll have different fragrances to match her variety of bridal outfits.

During a recent episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast, Charity gave her co-host Rachel Recchia some additional details about her upcoming wedding.

"It's a destination [wedding]. We're going to be feeling very warm and sunny," Charity revealed, adding how she hopes to look like Barbie when she walks down the aisle.

Charity also said her bridal party is going to be "reserved" for just family.

"My friends are going to be able to come [into my bridal suite] and get ready with me, but [I'm not having] a whole traditional wedding party. I don't know. I think 12 bridesmaids is an actual headache decision for me," Charity joked.

Charity explained how it would be so hard to choose the women because the entirety of Zach Shallcross' The Bachelor season would probably expect to be in her wedding.

"I want to eliminate any personal headache. Not that any of the girls would give me a hard time -- they'd be understanding," Charity insisted.

"But it's just not something I want to go through... So in terms of the bridal party, it's just going to be family. I think I made the best, most personal decision for that."

While Charity and Dotun have set their wedding date, Charity has said in multiple interviews that she won't be publicly revealing it.

"So, you guys will know once wedding content starts coming out, but I was like, 'I don't think I want to share with the public the date,' just because, you know, people are crazy -- not in a good way -- but crazy," Charity said during a recent appearance on the "It Girl" podcast.

Charity suggested that she and Dotun are going to have a pretty big guest list after inviting "numerous Bachelor Nation people."

Charity and Dotun got engaged in early 2023 although their engagement didn't air on The Bachelorette's Season 20 finale until August of that year.

Charity and Dotun celebrated the two-year anniversary of their engagement in May 2025.

Charity called Dotun her "protector" and "best friend" on social media at the time, as well as her "future hubby."

Dotun, for his part, wrote over romantic footage of the couple frolicking on a beach, "The butterfly effect is crazy."

Dotun explained how one of Charity's The Bachelorette bachelors had pulled out of the running last minute, allowing Dotun to join the Season 20 cast just two short weeks before filming commenced.

"I would've never met the love of my life, got engaged on national tv, and be here celebrating our two year anniversary," Dotun said, in part.

Dotun wrote alongside his post, "It started with a simple text and turned into a love of a lifetime. A real life butterfly effect. Grateful you all chose to be a part of our crazy journey."

Charity and Dotun said they got the ball rolling on wedding planning in April 2025 after admittedly putting the process "on pause" in 2024 because they felt overwhelmed.

"It's just now that we're back into it. It's been really enjoyable just really picking out those intimate details," Charity told Us Weekly at the time, adding how the couple wanted a "really intimate" wedding ceremony.

She added, "I think for us, it's really about narrowing down the guest list and how many people we want. There's been so many people that have just played a pivotal role in our love story, and we want everyone there."

Charity explained that she and Dotun intended on taking their time with the wedding because they didn't want to get stressed out.

Charity had competed on Zach's The Bachelor season, which aired in early 2023, before she starred on The Bachelorette's 20th season. She also competed on Dancing with the Stars' 32nd season and made the finals.

Charity had revealed in 2024 that she and Dotun were planning to tie the knot in California in Fall 2025, followed by a second wedding ceremony in Nigeria for Dotun's family.

"[We want] to make sure that with wedding planning, it does not take away the joy that we have had in our engagement time and to continue to have so much to look forward to," Charity said at the time.

Charity also reiterated that planning two back-to-back weddings was going to be no simple feat.

"We're just trying to do things the right way and take it day by day and really enjoy our time with each other in this time period, so we're all good. Nothing to worry about," The Bachelor alum said in 2024.

As far as non-negotiables go for their wedding, Charity and Dotun previously said they'd love to have great music and a delicious cake at their reception.
