Australian wedding costs soar to $60,000
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
A recent study reveals Australian couples are spending an average of $38,000 on weddings, with a quarter of surveyed couples spending up to $60,000 on their wedding day. The rising costs are attributed to post-COVID attitudes, social media influence on wedding aesthetics, and the phenomenon of 'bridal tax' where venues and services charge premium prices for wedding-related bookings. Alternative perspectives suggest redirecting wedding funds towards supporting the marriage through regular babysitting and couple time in the early years.
