A survey by Weddings Online found the average total for a couple's big day including the honeymoon is €26,015.

That's up 7% on last year - the average spend in 2017 was €24,427.

Couples shell out the most money on the venue - €12,413.

While almost 60% of couples who took part in the survey went over budget.

The average spend on a wedding dress is €1,787, €726 for bridesmaid dresses, and €1,068 on suits for the groom and groomsmen.

The wedding band is one of the most pricey parts of a couple's special day, costing an average of €2,019. A DJ is much cheaper at €434.

Meanwhile, the average spend on an engagement ring is €1,849 - much less than Vogue Williams' rock!

The reality star announced her engagement to Spencer Matthews yesterday. It's reported the ring is worth a whopping €170,000.
