I really  wanted to give a bridal speech at my wedding because I thought it would be a perfect way to express my joy and gratitude to everyone all at one time. Once I decided that I would give a brides speech, I thought it would be nice to go first so that I could just sit back and enjoy all of the other wedding speeches and toasts.

My Bride Wedding Speech Tips

Looking For Wedding Speech Resources

After stressing out for weeks thinking about writing and giving my bride’s speech, I hit the internet for some intense online research.

I decided against trying any of the jokes and other antidotes that I found for free online because they somehow just didn’t work for me and actually seemed a little cheesy.

But I did find one really good resource written specifically about preparing and giving bride’s speeches that helped me focus on all the right things.  In fact, I got right down to business and started writing my speech the same day I got the guide. What a relief!

This resource was really the most helpful information on bride’s speeches that I had found anywhere! After searching for many hours over a number of days, I found this guide that just “cut to the chase” and provided many bride speech examples and tips for presenting the perfect wedding speech.

A Wedding Speech To Remember

Though my wedding speech was not as long as some of the other bridal speeches that I read about, it contained all of the components a good speech should have.  I thanked Mom & Dad and Nicks parents, all of the groomsman and bride’s maids.

I included stories about the best man and my sister, who was my maid of honor. I thanked all of the guests for coming and for their generosity (for the gifts).  I also thanked all of our friends and family that had to do some serious traveling to get there.

I also did a special tribute for Nick.  I described how we met and how and when I knew he was the “one”.  Although Nick and I did our wedding speeches separately, it was wonderful to hear these same things and events from his point of view.

Because we didn’t write our own vows, this part of my bride wedding speech was my favorite.  I may be biased, but I thought my wedding speech was the best one of the night.  I didn’t stumble around, I was prepared and didn’t waste even one minute worrying about my bride’s speech.  I lived in the moment through my whole wedding and have a memory that I will cherish forever.

1)    An Opening Line
2)    An Offering of thanks to family & friends with emphasis on those who participated most at the wedding (include their generosity to cover the gifts).
3)    Something nice about your parents
4)    Something nice about the grooms parents
5)    Maybe some observations about the wedding
6)    Something romantic and wonderful about your new husband
7)    Some sort of closing or bride’s toast

Note: I found this example of a bride wedding speech that you really wouldn’t want to pattern your wedding speech after. Try to appear more spontaneous and never read your bride’s speech directly from a sheet of paper!

Though I was confused as to where to start my wedding speech, the resource that I found most helpful pulled it all together for me.  It had a number of bride speech examples and an easy process for writing my own personalized bridal speech.  I’m not sure I could have written my speech without this guide.

Also, a number of articles and blog posts I read describing bride wedding speeches also included a special note about any special circumstances that may have affected you; like a death in the family or wishes that a parent or in-law were still alive.  Including a mention along these lines as part of the joyous event, can be a nice touch, but don’t let it put a damper on the upbeat, festive atmosphere of the wedding day.

Luckily, I didn’t need to add a note to this effect in my bride’s speech and felt blessed that this was the case.
