Setting the date
Most Australian couples opt for wedding dates either in March or October, with March being the slightly more popular month in 2021. The majority of couples had more than one reason for choosing their intended wedding date, although some selected a date based on either the day having a significant meaning or the availability of their intended wedding venue.Getting married: an expensive proposition
Australia’s diverse topography makes for interesting venues to plan destination weddings. Be it on the sandy white coasts or at a quaint vineyard, couples have a plethora of themes to choose from.For Australian couples, weddings are mostly an expensive affair, with costs increasing yearly. Victoria and New South Wales are among the priciest states in the country for weddings, with costs of between 13.5 and just under 15 thousand Australian dollars for venue hire alone. Inevitably it’s a similar story when it comes to buying dresses, not only for the bride to be but also for her bridesmaids . Celebrant hire is also a costly exercise; to hire one in either NSW or Victoria will cost couples between 800 to 900 Australian dollars.
