Belinda Hanks, editor of Confetti, the online bridal store and magazine, told The Telegraph: "One of the main factors behind this has been pressure on budgets.

"With the economy the way it is, couples are realising that if they go for a winter wedding they can get a much better deal.

"You can shave down your budget by around a quarter if you marry in winter through savings on venue hire and catering – you’re talking about thousands of pounds.

"This has been a growing trend over the last couple of years."
