Goldsmiths was also eager to discover the nation’s attitudes to wedding day jewellery, discovered that 8 in 10 (81%) would spend up to £1,000 on their wedding ring, with the average price tag coming in at £724.

In addition to the cost of their wedding rings, couples also said they would also be happy to splash out a further £530 on other wedding day jewellery.

Men were revealed to be the biggest spenders when it came to wedding day accessories (£620, compared to £451 by women). A watch was the top jewellery choice for men, with a further fifth (20%) opting for a statement necklace or chain.

Craig Bolton, Executive Director from Goldsmiths commented on the findings: "With the challenges of the past year, the UK's roadmap to easing restrictions is welcome news for us all, but especially for those looking to resume their wedding plans.

"In 2020, the wedding industry in particular suffered huge losses in terms of revenue, meaning couples awaiting their wedding day have also had to make great sacrifices.

"Despite this previous year, our research has certainly highlighted how eager the nation is to celebrate their big day in a luxurious way. With this in mind, we wanted to give a little something back to those who's weddings have been postponed or cancelled.

"We hope this gesture helps put a smile on some couples' faces."

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations.
