• Andie MacDowell was cast in the role of Carrie just two weeks before filming began.
• The film's budget was so small that the Scottish wedding was not filmed in Scotland, and the extras were dressed in their own clothes.
• During filming, Hugh Grant believed the film would be a box office flop.
• The scene where Carrie lifts the veil of the dress she is trying on and sees Charles was cut after test screenings.
• By the beginning of 1999, the film was the highest-grossing film in the history of British cinema.
• Most of Jeremy Kemp's role was cut.
• Kristin Scott Thomas voiced her character for the French dubbed version of the film.
• One of the deleted scenes revealed that Charles, Matthew, and Fiona attended the same university. Gareth was a teacher at that same university.
• Richard Rodney Bennett, who composed the music for the film, fell asleep during the first screening.
• The role of Carrie could have gone to Jeanne Tripplehorn.
