Do you - save up and pay it all at once. Or pay it off in instalments via a travel agent. Or get flights one month, accommodation later to spread the cost. Put it on a credit card and pay off gradually over the year. Or have enough money to pay for it all at once.
We're a mix. I've saved for a mini break over the jubilee and then for summer will probably get flights and then accommodation. Maybe reserve a hotel on the "pay at hotel" option.
I'd love to just be able to book them willy-nilly!
