The Boom in Australian Weddings

There’s been a large spike in the number of Chinese couples having their weddings in Australia, and you know what, we think they’re onto something. Need to be convinced? Here are our top 4 bargaining chips on why to consider it:

1. Who doesn’t want an extra holiday?



You’re already going to all the effort in arranging and organising the momentous love-locked day, so why not just go the extra step and make it even more unforgettable? Trust us, by the time your wedding day rolls around you’re going to wish you have more than just one holiday lined up.

2. You don’t need a marriage licence to get married in Australia

That’s right, getting married in Australia is a fairly short and sweet legal process. As long as you’re both over the age of 18, are not already legally married and have lodged a notice of intended marriage a month prior then you are ready to say your ‘I do’s.’

3. Smaller in Size

You’d be lying to yourself if this wasn’t the key selling point. All those people that you feel obliged to invite are an easy cut to the list if you have your wedding away. You don’t have to invite your entire extended family and hope that bitter old Aunt Helen won’t go around causing drama like she did at that last wedding, or that your sister’s choice of plus one won’t be a complete conversational dud. Alleviate all the stress of family dynamics with a great reason (and an even better excuse) of having your wedding on that large, distant island in the southern hemisphere.

4. Scenery

One of the most popular reasons for having a wedding in Australia is that it is home to landscapes unlike anywhere else. Whether you’re after a backdrop of tropical rainforest, desert sands or endless ocean, Australia has it on offer. As Chinese couples put a lot of emphasis on their wedding photos, this factor of untouched and unpopulated landscape is an enticing reason for getting married in Australia, and who could blame them?
