Many women choose their wedding dress and the flowers they’ll carry on the big day before they have even met their husbands, new research suggests. Our poll found that six in 10 single women have already planned parts of their wedding, such as churches, reception venues and bridesmaids’ dresses.
Two thirds said they had been planning some aspects of their weddings since they were children – with some starting to think about getting married from the age of just 13.
One in 10 said they had already starting saving for the big day, stashing away an average of £968.
More than one in three single women (34%) said they regularly browse online to find inspiration for flowers, dresses and wedding venues.
Beautiful flowers, a sunny day and the perfect dress were cited as the most important elements of the ideal wedding.
