As the date of my wedding loomed ever so close, I found myself still frantically attempting to write an inspirational, yet sweet Wedding Speech. As with all Bride Speeches my aim was to wow everyone. This unfortunately was harder than I anticipated…. I eventually decided on a plan of action, to sit down and just jot down some of the many thoughts that popped into my head.

You may say that there are more efficient ways to plan your Bride Wedding Toast, but this is fantastic way to kick start ideas.

In the beginning i found my self a little dry for ideas. But when I got the idea of using speech prompts ad guides useful information came along thick and fast.

I started to brain storm bits of information about my wonderful relationship.

I jotted down, how we met, how long we had been happily together, some of our most special and memorable moments and funny sorties we have encountered etc. This exercise really helped me put into perspective and most importantly words, so excellent meaningful, factual and funny material that was going to give my speech an edge and make it unique.

A big tips of mine is that at this stage its best not to bother yourself to much about the order or content of your toast. The biggest hurdle is creating the perfect Bride Wedding Speech. Not necessarily writing it (crazy I know).

To summarize theses are my top tips to start you off.

* i.e How i met the groom/ partner.

* How long you have been close.

* Some of our most special and memorable moments

* Funny stories you have encountered etc

So by jotting down my thoughts I was already over my first task.

Please do not panic about writing your Brides Speech. Even if you only have a night to write it do not fret. I have created this site full of useful information that i wish i was given when i had to write my wedding speech. Follow my simple tips and i guarantee you will have an excellent, moving and unique speech everyone will enjoy and remember.

Bride & Groom Combined Speech Ideas

Sometimes when it comes to the speeches on your big day, you may need to consider your Brides Speech connected with your grooms speech.

This is not always the case, but my partner and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise of creating our speeches together. We did have a chat to decipher the direction we thought our wedding speeches should to in.

Deciding On Who Says What.

When I comes to all sorts of speeches, weather it is the Brides Wedding Speech or the Mother of the Brides Speech, it definitely helps to get your stories correct just to make sure every single speech is not a repeat of the others. This is why having a discussion about such things is personally quite important.

Coming Up With The Perfect Speeches

If you have decided to talk with your future spouse and ask whether they are preparing a speech themselves. Most likely you will have similar ideas, such as reciting stories of how you first met and your happy times together so far.

A good idea and a possible option is decided to cover different topics. Or you might both want to include a story of how you both met, but from different points of view. This can make the speech interesting and funny for your guests and something they will love I’m sure.

These are just possible ideas. Not all Groom and Bride Speeches are done together, but I feel sharing ideas whilst keeping your own personal speeches for the big day can be exciting and inspirational. Better still, check out some speech examples to really help you find and write the perfect speech.

Bride Toast – Don’t Say The Wrong Thing…..

When it come to pleasing people, forgetting to thank a special person is one thing – but saying the wrong thing in your Bride Wedding Speech is another! And complete disaster. Well thankfully I really wanted to avoid this mistake, so looking up useful and helpful tips will help you avoid this embarrassing situation.

Pleasing your partner

One of the worst things you could unmistakably do is start talking of previous relationships. It might seem obvious, but believe me there are brides that do this! Even if you want to compare your new amazing love most favorably with everyone else, i do not recommend this, if they are anything like mine he will not appreciate this move. Especially on one of the most important days of their life.

Alcohol

No matter how well you might have prepared your wedding speech, your worst enemy could well be ‘alcohol’ It has the potential to bring down just about anybody, causing them to say the wrong thing. I really was wary about this aspect, and decided to leave the drinking til after the speech was over and done with. I’m so glad I did!

Another helpful tip

One other thing that made the idea of my bride wedding speech stressful to me was the fact I didn’t plan ahead like I should of. Not planing ahead means a lot of unnecessary amounts of stress and in less control of what you want to say. Luckily there are plenty of resources online for those who are in need of help and guidance, for a romantic wedding speech, funny, endearing even.

Lastly I would like to mention, no matter how well you express your speech, going on for too long isn’t going to go down to well with the audience. Try to work on your speech so that it doesn’t take a whole hour to deliver!

Bride Speech - Do's & Dont's!

There re a few simple yet essential rules to stick by when writing, preparing your and delivering your Brides Speech. To avoid embarrassing moments and guarantee your Wedding Speech goes flawlessly then just stick to these easy tips.

DO’S – Key Tips On How To Make Your Brides Speech A Guaranteed Success.

Plan Ahead!!!

This is my absolute number one tip. When i was a Bride i foolishly left writing my big speech until a week before. BAD MOVE… The thought of writing it stressed me out so much i kept shoving it to the back of my mind. Big Mistake! This only left me much, much more stressed. I thought a week would be more then enough time but anyone who’s been strongly involved in a wedding knows loads of problems can pop up in that final week before the wedding. Thus leaving you tired and exhausted with not enough hours in the day to research and design a Wedding Speech everyone will be proud of.

So to recap – Not planing ahead means a lot of unnecessary amounts of stress and in less control of what you want to say. Luckily there are plenty of resources online for those who are in need of help and guidance. Whether you are looking for a romantic wedding speech, a funny or endearing one.

Include a couple of jokes.

If you think you can handle it then it is a good idea to add just a couple of relevant jokes. Even if you decide to go for a very romantic speech, a couple of tasteful jokes will just add a little extra. A little bit of humor always go down well at weddings and will ensure that the audience pays full attention to you.

But if like me, you are not a natural stand up comedian and worried you will write jokes that know one will laugh at then sauce some on the Internet. Just make sure they fit in with your speech and are relevant to your Bride and Grooms story.

Remember to ensure your jokes are tasteful and will not upset or make anyone feel uncomfortable. (I Have no doubt that you would be anything other than tasteful but i thought i’d just mention it.)

Make sure you always stand up and speak clearly when delivering your Bride Speeches.

If the audience can’t see you then or hear you then they will lose interest. This would be a huge shame, especially after all the effort you put in to writing it.

My Final DO is to always look out towards the audience when talking.

Not only will they be able to hear you better but they will be much more engaged in your speech as your eye contact will make them feel involved and keep their attention.

DON’TS – Key Tips On What NOT To Do When Delivering Your Speeches.

My first Don’t is to not make your speech too long.

This is actually a positive thing because it means you have to write less YAY! But if does get too long, no matter how amazing your weeding speech is the audience will get bored and fidgety.

Do not drink too much alcohol before your Bride Speech.

One or two to take the edge off your nerves will probably be OK, depending on how you hold your drink. But Do Not not get drunk. I know it might seem difficult to do at a party, especially at a wedding where everywhere you turn there’s champagne. But unless you want to stumble over your dress or mess up your words and embarrass yourself (don’t forget it’s going to be on tape) then i strongly suggest you stick too this simple rule. Just remember you will have plenty of time to let your hair down after the speech.

Okay then. There you have it. From my experience, the DO’S and DON’Ts List. In sure these are all things you will naturally do any way but i though i would include a little section on them.
