Bride Wedding Speech - Which Kind Would Be Right For Me

By Felicity Porter

There are several reasons to give a bride wedding speech: To add to the occasion’s entertainment, to thank those who helped you make this wonderful day possible, to follow a tradition. Before you even start setting the first words of your wedding speech on paper, stop for a moment and think about your motives for giving bride wedding speeches. Not that you need a certain kind of motivation to write the right speech, but rather, your kind of motivation will flavor the kind of speech you will end up giving.

If entertaining your audience is your main motive, you should go with a funny bride’s wedding speech. If you are funny and easily pull of jokes, this is a great way to make a lasting impression. Keep the speech short and to the point and lightly move from one funny anecdote to a wedding joke to the next hilarious moment from your past with your brand new husband. Just be careful not to overdo it and not to step on anyone’s toes. Funny stops being so if it hurts someone.

You are planning on giving a traditional brides wedding speech. Well, the tradition of the bride speech isn’t all that traditional yet. In days gone by the groom would give a speech for the both of them and brides usually wouldn’t give any kind of speech at their reception. But that’s a thing of the past. Nowadays plenty of brides prepare a speech for their wedding, which most of the time includes thanking everybody who helped make this day possible, and some personal thoughts and anecdotes of your relationship with your new husband.

Your main motivation is to thank everyone involved in your wedding? Then thankful bride wedding speeches would be your way to go. You’ll structure your speech around the list of people you’d like to thank. Make sure you include your husband, your parents and in-laws, the wedding party and (if the list doesn’t get too long) the people involved in organizing and executing all the details for your wedding. Weave in a funny anecdote or two that might have happened during the preparations, since it’s the little mishaps we often remember best about great celebrations and which add the special flavor.

You want to make sure you’ve got all your bases covered? Then the all-in-one brides wedding speech would be the right way to go. You will mention your husband, how smashing he looks, how much you love him and the special things about your relationship. You will also give thanks where it’s due, but keep it on the shorter side here. You will weave in a joke or funny anecdote here or there to keep the whole speech flowing lightly. And most importantly, you’ll speak straight from your heart and express how important this day is for you, especially since it’s the official starting point for your life-long relationship and happiness with your husband.

So whichever approach you choose, make sure it expresses you as a person and comes from your heart. No elegant and great words can express and show who you are as a few simple and sincere words that let people see who you are and what you think and feel. Keep it simple and fairly short (around 10 minutes should do fine) and enjoy yourself while giving the speech, that way everybody else will enjoy it too.

Bride Wedding Speech - A Few Tips To Write A Beautiful Speech From The Heart

by: Felicity Porter


Bride wedding speech? Yes, you had planned on giving a speech. This is your long awaited day and you want every moment of it to be memorable. So a few entertaining and clever words are of course a part of that. But in reality you have a truck load of things to deal with: bride speech - wedding preparations - the dress - the flowers - the caterers - the music - the . . . You know what I mean. You can't imagine where you would find the time to take a few disjointed notes, much less an entertaining speech? The thought to cancel the whole speech has crossed your mind more than once, because if you do it you want it to be great and you don't feel that with the little time you have left and the never-ending list of things still to be done to prepare for the great day, you'd be able to produce something even remotely fitting.

Bride wedding speeches are not as hard to put together as we might initially think. Anything we aren’t used to seems to grow into a huge undertaking, when in reality what you really need is a moment of peace and quiet (just steal one), and to sit down and arrange your thoughts. Today you may have a list of ten errands to run. Take a note pad with you and when an idea pops into your mind, stop for a second, jot it down and keep on running errands; things you love about your future husband, some memories, some funny or heartwarming anecdotes, a list of people you might want to thank. By the time the day is over, you'll have a lot of raw material to shape your speech from. When you look at it right now it surely doesn't look anything like a speech, it doesn't even make much sense. But that's ok. You are just getting started.

Now check that list over and eliminate any anecdote that has the potential to be hurtful or offensive to anybody that might be present at your wedding celebration, like that hilarious incident when Uncle Robert went and . . . . The best pun isn’t worth the ensuing fall-out. At this point you put your notes in order by categories: what you want to mention about your husband and how much you love him, about your relationship, the things you wanted to tell your parents, in-laws and other family members and all their efforts to make this beautiful day possible, the other people you'd like to express your thankfulness to (just choose wisely to not have to mention the entire guest list), etc..

You’ll see how the speech will appear from that pattern pretty much on its own. When you have all these paragraphs lined up, read them out loud to hear how it sounds. Polish it a bit to bring it all together and make it flow. Don't worry too much about being eloquent and using impressive words. Speak straight from the heart, it's what touches people most. Make the whole speech some ten to fifteen minutes long. Bring it to a close with a witty toast and. . . there you go, you just finished writing your bride's wedding speech. Over the next few days take a minute here and there to read it out loud again and maybe to somebody for practice, and take your notes along on the wedding day, just in case. . .

Now with that out of the way you're free to rush after the caterer, or was it the florist you had to talk to right now? . . .

Bride Wedding Speeches - I Wish I Knew Where To Start...

by Felicity Porter

Writing bride wedding speeches can look like an overwhelming undertaking, especially when you are already dizzy with all the details to keep in mind for the celebration of the big day. Come to think about it you didn't really need this along with everything else you're handling right now, but you do want to give a speech, even if it's just to let the people, who helped make this wonderful day an awesome one, know how much you appreciate them.

So with being so busy and running to and fro to get every last detail taken care of, how are you supposed to get a speech done . . . You can hardly think straight right now and a calm moment to collect your thoughts and write a speech seems as far out of reach as the moon. Well, do some brainstorming and write down everything that comes to mind that you might want to make use of in your speech. You can do that during your busy day. Whenever a thought or idea pops into your mind, stop for a second and note it down. You might be surprised how much raw material you can accumulate by the end of the day. ?

To take a sheet of paper and set down a basic outline or structure is what helped me to make sense of it all:

- The first thing you could mention is how happy you are that the great day has arrived, finally,
- how you guys met,
- what the first thing was that caught your eye about him,
- the stuff you like best about him,
- why you want to marry him and only him and
- how you can’t wait to start your future with him.
- Then you could also mention your parents and your in-laws,
- thank them for their part in making this day possible,
- thank them for preparing the both of you for your adult live, which you will now spend together.
- After that you can continue to mention and thank others on your list, just bear in mind: if you mention Aunt Lucy, you also will have to mention Aunt Meredith, which leads you to having to mention dear Uncle John and then also Uncle Ben, and so on. You get the picture, choose carefully or you might end up spending your wedding celebration trying to find the end of your own speech.
- Mention an anecdote or two; just always keep it on the positive side.
- Close with a witty toast and . . . you’ve got yourself an outline.

Now fill out the structure choosing from your first sheet of thoughts and anecdotes. Swap them around until they fit and got some flow. Your speech should be about ten to fifteen minutes more or less. It's always a good idea to stay on everyone's good side when doing a bride's wedding speech. You don’t want to dampen the spirit of the celebration with a remark that’ll follow you for years to come.

So following a basic structure you will find it won’t be all that hard to put together a heartfelt brides wedding speech that will be cherished and fondly remembered.

Bride Wedding Speech – So Much To Say – So Little Time

by: Felicity Porter

Bride wedding speech - You really want to give one, but where are you going to get the necessary time from?! The day of your dreams is just around the corner and everything is slowly but surely falling into place. You are pretty much stressed out by now, but you know it's all worth it. And while you are rushing to and fro, fitting, organizing, making phone calls - there is still a thought in the back of your mind, niggling you: the bride's wedding speech. You got nothing so far. There is so much you’d like to say, so many ways to express your love for your future better half and so many people to thank. . . If only you could find a manner to put it all on paper in a concise, funny and great-sounding way. Sigh!

When your fiancée and you sat down one day and decided it would be great for both of you to give a speech, it sounded like a really good idea at the time. You agreed to each write your part, practice together a few times and then you'd blow your audience away with this amusing and memorable speech. That was six weeks ago. You’ve seen your fiancée scribble something on a yellow pad the other day and he was all secretive about it and you were busy dealing with the choice of flower arrangements.

Now the wedding is just about hereand your mind is fully occupied with pretty much everything but the wedding speech. You wish you know where to even start. You’ve taken a moment and checked everywhere you could think of for some bride wedding speech examples, but nothing you found sounded like you.

In the end you actually asked your mother for advice, which she loved of course and dropped everything at once to help you out, but afterall that didn't really go anywhere. Guess Mom's not a professional speech writer either. So when it comes down to it you're right where you started: with nada. Nothing!. Only you are now just days away from the big celebration. Well, what you need is a plan - and right now too!.

Do you recall the list of things you wanted to express to your future husband in your brides wedding speech, how much you love him and all the ways you wanted to thank every one for their part in making this fantastic and long-awaited day become a reality?

Well don’t start with the speech itself. Take a day to write down everything that goes through your mind that you might want to mention in your wedding speech. Scribble it onto a yellow pad or even a napkin if necessary, just get it all on paper. It doesn’t have to be in order. For now it doesn't even really have to make any sense. Just get it all on paper and apart from that also a list of every person you would like to mention (it would be a good idea to check with your mother and mother-in-law to make sure you're not forgetting anybody, they are sure to know).

At the end of this day steal a few moments away from all of it, get your favorite kind of coffee (or whichever beverage you prefer . . .), some nice music and sit down with your sheet (or sheets) of notes. Having a look at my next post you'll find a basic outline for a bride wedding speech; just a safety line to follow to get you securely from the beginning to the end without getting lost on the way or taking too many detours
