FAQ about eloping in Paris
Frequently asked questions
Check the most common questions our couples have before they decide to elope in Paris. Feel free to contact us for further information.
Our Paris elopement ceremonies are totally personalised. They can either be religious, spiritual or none of the above. They are designed to meet your particular beliefs. Any God is as welcome with us as well as any atheist. Love Gracefully is a secular company that embraces all beliefs and all non-beliefs. But our officiants are not priests, nor pastors, nor rabbis.
Should you want a religious ceremony, we can direct you to a local church. But it’s very rare for European priests to speak English. So, what we recommend is to let us, at Love Gracefully, create a spiritual ceremony celebrated in an exquisite location.
The Paris elopement ceremonies are purely symbolic, meaning that they have no legal value. If you want the paperwork, we suggest couples have that done at home before coming to Paris to fully celebrate their love. Our specialty is the celebration of love, but not the paperwork.
You can see Pierre explaining this in this video.
We do understand your concern in the event of rain if you want to elope in Paris. Since we often work outdoors, we have the expertise to manage your event in case of rain and we spend a lot of time looking at weather forecasts. After more than 400 ceremonies, here is what we’ve learned:
- It’s an issue to take seriously;
- Weather forecasts are not very accurate;
- Best to wait 48 hours to 24 hours before D-day to make a final call on what to do;
- We always have a plan B, protected from the weather, ready to go.
- If it rains a little bit we can wait for it to stop
- If the weather gets extremely bad and our vendors are available, we are flexible and we can try to move the ceremony to another time or day depending on the availability of vendors and the officiant.
Our 10 years of experience at Love Gracefully in organizing elopements in Paris have taught us one thing about what to wear during an elopement in the city of love: wear what makes you feel comfortable! Why? At the end of the day, this is your elopement. If you come all the way to Paris to elope, it’s because you don’t want the traditional wedding at home, you want something special, something that is you! So our advice is for you to wear what makes you feel the most yourself.
Of course, during the elopement ceremony, you want to look good for your honey and you want to look good on the pictures. That’s a given. But if you don’t feel comfortable, you won’t look good on the inside and that will show on the outside. Trust us on that: Love Gracefully has celebrated now over 1000 elopements and we have spotted that over and over. How many brides spent months in preparation on their outfit to finally not be comfortable walking in it on the ceremony day? Not sure, but a lot!
Have 2 pairs of shoes for your eloping day. One for the pictures, one for walking. In an elopement in Paris you’ll stand, you’ll walk, and some streets are cobblestones: you’ll want to have a comfortable pair of shoes to walk in!
White is great, white is pure, classy, traditional and pretty but white is not a must for an elopement in Paris. If you don’t like white, choose a colour that’s special for you! In all cases, we would suggest very strongly not to buy it nor rent it in Paris,. Do that at home because,at home you can take your time, ask the opinions of friends or family, and all in your own language. In Paris, you’ll be in a rush, maybe alone, dealing with people who speak French and not English: Oh la la! The process of choosing your elopement dress, trying it on, making the adjustments can take weeks so, please, do this at home and relax!
If you don’t take into account what kind of weather you’ll have for your Paris elopement before you choose what to wear, you are making a big mistake! We have seen brides wearing very light dresses, showing their beautiful skin but freezing as it was in the middle of the winter… So, don’t hesitate to ask us and we’ll help you with that. We are not gods and won’t be able to tell you if you’ll have sun or clouds but we can tell you about the temperature!
Do not worry too much about that. You could read on the internet that some colors don’t work for elopement or wedding photos. But at Love Gracefully we work with top professional Paris elopement photographers who produce awesome pictures, regardless of what you wear.
It’s commonly thought that it’s easier for men than women to pick their elopement outfit. Well, yes and no. Men do care and during your elopement in Paris, you want to feel good, look good and make your bride happy. So, yes, it’s easier because a suit is a suit and a tux is a tux and you have many more colors to choose from. And no, it’s not easier because you want to look good but still be yourself. Some men don’t like suits and ties. Well, the good news is that there are no sartorial rules. Paris is a city of fashion and style. Men in Paris can look very good without a suit or a tie.
