According to a survey of over 2,000 married men and women, Gen Z weddings have evolved into multi-event spectacles with several outfit changes and ample opportunities for content creation.
Gen Z couples are splashing out more than £1,800 on multiple wedding outfits and accessories, according to new research. A survey of over 2,000 married men and women found that Gen Z weddings have evolved into multi-event spectacles, featuring several outfit changes and ample opportunities for content creation .
The study revealed that Gen Z couples host more bridal and groom showers, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners and day-after celebrations than any previous generation, with social media reshaping expectations and heaping on additional pressure. Eight in 10 Gen Zers said they felt pressured to look flawless on their wedding day, with 38% attributing this predominantly to social media.
Furthermore, one in five admitted that capturing the perfect photographs for their social media feeds ranked amongst their highest priorities. Ellis Ranson, a celebrity stylist and brand ambassador for footwear retailer Deichmann, which commissioned the research, said: "Wedding content culture is now huge. The typical Gen Z wedding is far more appearance driven than previous generations as they look to change outfits as the day goes on.
"With all of the outfit changes, there comes a price tag that can see people add hundreds onto their budgeted amounts. " The survey found that 80% bought two or more outfits for the big day and 71% had at least two pairs of shoes.
However, 12% admitted they felt they had overspent on their appearance. The overall average spent on outfits by married Brits surveyed was £1,219.07 - roughly £600 less than Gen Z. Boomers typically forked out £552 and made do with a single outfit for the occasion, while 70% of Generation X got by with just one pair of shoes. The study revealed that 82% of women purchased shoes specifically for their wedding day, compared to 64% of grooms.
Interestingly, Gen Z were the most inclined to hold on to their outfits to wear again, while Millennials chose to claw back some of their expenditure by selling their attire on. Ellis Ranson, for Deichmann, added: "The pressure to spend on outfits is now huge but you don't need to overspend to chase the perfect look.
"There are so many great alternatives to expensive designer pieces and saving money on your footwear and accessories is a great way to make sure you stay within budget. "
