According to a source close to The Voice couple, Shelton and Stefani are "starting to finalize wedding arrangements," Us Weekly reported.
The country singer and fashion icon have actually "met with vendors" already, added the source.
Shelton, 40, and Stefani, the 47-year-old mom of sons Kingston, 10, Zuma, 8, and Apollo, 2, have yet to confirm their engagement. However, reports have circulated for months they want to marry each other and have been working out the details.
A second source insisted they hope to tie the knot "before the end of the year."

Shelton and Stefani were friends for a while but sparked a romance in Fall 2015 when they both served as coaches on The Voice's ninth season and bonded over their painful public divorces, which played out around the same time last summer.
Stefani split from her husband of 13 years, Gavin Rossdale, in August of last year before reports emerged he had cheated on her with their sons' nanny Mindy Mann, while Shelton had ended his marriage to Miranda Lambert in July 2015.
"He was a friend when I needed a friend," Stefani recently gushed to Glamour magazine. "An unexpected gift."
Stefani opened up about the demise of her marriage and finding new love with Shelton, telling the magazine, "Sometimes to be woken up again in life, you need to go through some really bad, hard times. I feel like I got woken up this year."
Stefani acknowledged how important marriage is to her, and therefore revealing how crushed she was when things didn't work out with Rossdale.

"The intention of being married is the vow, right?" the pop icon explained, noting that her parents just celebrated their 50th anniversary. "You want to put everything into it to make it a success."
Shelton and Stefani will both serve as coaches again when The Voice airs its twelfth season in 2017.
