Over 1,000 engaged and recently married women completed our biannual Cost of Love survey, which revealed the average cost of a wedding is now at an all-time high.

Results showed that Australian couple's now spend an average of $90,128 on their big day - an increase of 4 per cent in the last two years and doubling in the last decade.

The figure represents a staggering 75% of the average Australian couple’s annual income and is $30,000 more than the average Australian's personal income. 

When it comes to the wedding gown brides are spending an average cost of $2,535, with them being 58 per cent more likely to use Botox pre-wedding than participants in the last survey.
