This week Hitched.co.uk launched Hitched’s W.I.F.E. (Wedding Industry Figures and Economic); A new website created to share data about the UK wedding market.
Managing Director Dean Yardley had this to say about the new concept: “Weddings are very much a feature of our lives and apart from an annual count from the Office of National Statistics, there is very limited information on this important ceremony. Hitched’s W.I.F.E will offer a more detailed view of weddings, giving both quantative statistics and qualitative evidence across a considerable range of wedding issues and decisions. We wanted to create this site so that the industry and its customers could access the information freely and easily.”
So...what is the point? Well, if nothing else it can act as reassurance to your husband-to-be that you're not the only couple blowing the budget, with research showing that 3% less people are planning to stick to their wedding budget!!
Or...find out where the top honeymoon spots are! For the second year running, America is the most popular honeymoon destination. Places like the Caribbean and South America are popular destinations as 22% of Hitched viewers suggested:
We also think it's pretty reassuring to know what not all brides walking down the aisle are a size 0, with more brides being size 20+ than a UK size 6...so relax and step away from the diet shake!!
Make sure to have your say in the statistics by taking part in hitched.co.uk's daily polls and surveys!
