Listing Requirements - Photos
Photos for Say I Do in France – cheat sheet guide for the photos you upload:
- All photos should be in a 16:9 ratio (that is, for every 16cm/px/in in width, they are 9cm/px/in in height). Pretty standard landscape mode camera picture size.
- The majority of all websites will be set to center, center the image. This means that they pick the center point to focus on if any images are cropped to fit, this means the focus point of your photo should ideally be central.
- All photos should be in a .jpg, .png or .webp format and should not exceed 1mb in size. Ideally, they should be no bigger than 1,200px in width (You can use photoshop, canva or sites like iloveimg.com can help too). Always try to crop and/or scale retrospectively.
- Always save files with SEO in mind. This means if you want to be found for “weddings in france”, you’d save them in formats like ‘bride-dancing-weddings-in-france.jpg” Always try to use hyhens (-) or underscores (_) to link the words. Please do not upload photos named IMG0000687.jpg as the SEO will not work. I.e the name of your business so for me I would put 1. Singing Waiters in France get the party started for example
- Probably goes without saying, but try to avoid using text in images, or watermarks.

English Speaking Wedding Suppliers In France
Brides in France was created to help couples overcome these issues by offering and promoting a directory of experienced English speaking wedding industry specialists who can be contacted either through our site or directly via links to supplier websites.
Our one stop resource centre has enabled hundreds of couples to make their wedding dreams come true.
Whilst our couples represent all walks of life and their choice of celebration reflects their budget, there are also many amongst them for whom the budget is very generous and they only want the best suppliers in the country.
Say I Do In France is the premier resource for showcasing French wedding suppliers around the world
Before creating Say I Do In France (formerly Brides in France), we undertook extensive research talking to brides and documenting existing bridal supplier resource.
During our research we spoke to English speaking bride and grooms. What most of them had in common was the difficulty they had experienced in trying to organise their weddings from overseas.
Language, regulation and knowing how to contact the people that make a dream wedding happen, were just some of the problems they faced. What was required was an information directory, listing premier wedding suppliers throughout France.
Say I Do In France launched and is now the unrivalled information resource for couples wanting to create their perfect wedding in France.
