Bride Wedding Speech Tips

When you get closer and closer to the big day, you get more and more excited. At least that was what I felt, when I got closer to my wedding with Luke. The more excited I got, the less I could think of what to put in my bride wedding speech. I am sure that most other brides probably feel the same as I did, so I’ve put together a few tips you can use for writing your bride wedding speech.

Tip 1: Write from your heart
Okay – you have probably heard it before, and maybe it sounds like a tacky or simple trick. But there is no way around it; this is definitely the most important thing in your speech. When you are writing down what you would like to say, keep it true and keep writing from your heart. Everything in your speech has to be important, both for you, your groom, your family and everybody else at the wedding.

Tip 2: Include humor in your speech
Keep it a bit witty and concise; after all the brides big toast should not just be a long boring speak, where your grandparents fall asleep. Put in a few funny remarks, but don’t embarrass or humiliate anyone. Be careful not to step on anyone’s toes, it will kill the mood.

Tip 3: Tell the story of you and your groom
This is really important in any wedding speech; the story about you and your bride. Tell how you met each other or your first time together. Make it a bit of a love story, and you can really move the guests at your wedding.

Tip 4: Remember thank everybody
A lot of people actually forget to thank important people at their wedding, because they didn’t write a list of people to thank. Make a list of everybody you need to thank on your wedding day, and you will already be one step ahead.

Tip 5: Be comfortable
It can be really nerve-wracking to stand in front of a big crowd and making your wedding toast. I personally took a couple of glasses of champagne before I made my speech, and that helped me calm down. Of course you shouldn’t get drunk, but make sure you don’t have too many nerves to make your speech. Relax and don’t think about it too much – it is your day, and you should enjoy your day, that’s the most important thing.

Since I got engaged to my lovely husband Luke, I knew that I would have to write my own bride wedding speech. I didn’t really realize, how important part of the wedding this would actually be, and being busy with all the planning of the wedding, I kept putting it out until the last moment – where I finally realized that I had to sit down and start writing on my wedding speech.

That is basically the best advice you can get: Start planning your speech in good time. I would wish I had done that.

When you think about your bride speech, it is really quite challenging task; after all you first have to stand in front of everyone and say your vows, and after that you have to make a speech. That can be pretty nerve-wracking!

As I got closer to my big day, I really tried to think of an emotional and beautiful wedding speech – but I just couldn’t think of what to say. So I decided to sit down and just write down keywords for all of my ideas of what I wanted to include in the speech. Talk to the bridegroom, my father, mother and thanking all the guests for coming to the wedding.

Now, believe me when I say that there are faster ways to plan a bride wedding toast, but this was a great way for me to start on my speech. I just put down a lot of things about me and Luke, good memories, my sister and maid of honor, the best man and the story of how I ended up with Luke.

It really helped me when I started using guides and just put down my thoughts. I think the best way to plan the wedding speech, is actually never to start writing it. If you just put down your thoughts and all the things you want to include, you are over the first major hurdle of writing the perfect bride wedding speech.
