The average

Australian wedding

costs more than

double what most

of us expect

We think a wedding costs

$19,485, but the reality

is more like $48,296

66

%

of engaged couples

who have high

financial stress

have delayed/put

off getting married

S

o you’re going to be walking down

the aisle – congratulations! But for

many Australians, the euphoria can

start to wear off when the planning gets

underway and the quotes start coming in.

Weddings can cost more than you think,

but there’s no need to call the whole thing

off or compromise on your vision just yet.

Rest assured...

You are not alone when it comes to the

pre-wedding financial strain. New research

shows that the budget most couples start

out with is actually 48% below the average

cost of an Australian wedding*. The tradition

of the bride’s family footing the bill is no

longer conventional, with most couples

saying they will pay for much of their

wedding themselves. But you could have

your wedding cake and eat it too with a little

help from ANZ Personal Loans.

Not sure how much

you can afford to borrow?

The ANZ Borrowing Power Calculator

is an online tool that gives you an idea

of how much you could borrow and what

the likely repayments would be. See how

much you could put towards your wedding

costs in less than five minutes at anz.com/

borrow**. And if you’re already with ANZ and

apply in branch Monday-Friday before 12pm,

the money could be in your ANZ account

by the end of that same day.

An ANZ Personal Loan could help you create

the wedding of your dreams
