In the US, bridesmaids have a lot more responsibilities and tasks than in France. American bridesmaids are so busy! They often help with decorating the wedding hall, send invitations, make sure the bride looks and feels good, help the bride make various decisions during the wedding planning, and do a ton of chores on the wedding day to help the couple cope with all of the work. French bridesmaids have fewer responsibilities and participate only so much in the wedding prep. So, it’s a lot easier to be a bridesmaid in France than in America.

A lot of women prefer sparkly makeup, and it often looks great, but avoid such cosmetic products at your wedding. Like shimmery powder or glitter eyeshadow. The thing is, sparkly makeup is incompatible with cameras with a flash. And also, the light changes during the day – in the evening, you’ll take photos under artificial lighting, for instance. Light-reflecting or sparkly makeup might ruin your wedding photos because it’s very peculiar and needs the right lighting to look good. So, better not to use it at all than constantly stress about the light.

If you want your marriage to be legal (even when wed high in the mountains or on a desert island), you’ll have to prepare the papers. And that means you need to do some research, especially if you’re having an elopement wedding abroad. Find out what legal marriage papers you need, whether there should be witnesses and how many, who has the legal right to marry you (should it be the officiant or can someone get the permission to perform a wedding ceremony?), etc. All this has to be done in advance so that you didn’t waste time during the wedding trip itself.

It can be anything you are comfortable in. If you want to shine and impress your guests, feel free to buy a new and glamorous dress (which shouldn’t look like a wedding gown, by the way – leave the wow-effect for the wedding). Or you can wear something more casual. The most important thing is that you should feel comfy, have fun, and think about your engagement, not worry about clothing.

Nights in fall can be rather chilly, so think hard about your wedding attire. Make sure you’re not cold and miserable because it can ruin your happy vibe. Pick a long wedding gown with long sleeves, add a cape or jacket if the weather is cold, choose chic ankle boots instead of pumps or sandals. An additional layer of clothes can be handy in fall, and you can easily take it off at the wedding reception and party.

Late fall weddings and winter weddings (with the exception of the Christmas time) are less popular, and thus, less expensive – use it. Many wedding businesses offer discounts and various bonuses for those weddings booked in the off-season. So, if you’re tight on a wedding budget and need to save some money, think about having a wedding in these seasons. You might get a really nice fare from the vendors, wedding venue, etc. Even if they don’t offer you a lower price from the beginning, try to ask for it yourself – it doesn't hurt to ask. And why not save a thousand on your wedding if you can?

When you’re having a wedding rehearsal, it’s very important to correct as many mistakes, misunderstandings, and different issues as possible. This is your last chance to make changes and make sure everybody knows what to do, how, and when. Take a few photos of the wedding rehearsal to see how it all looks like and catch sight of any mistakes. For example, it’s always useful to see how the groomsmen and bridesmaids stand, if anyone stands out and ruins the picture, if the crowd looks tuned, and if the atmosphere is right. You might notice in these photos the problems you didn’t even expect and didn’t look for.
