Should a Bride Speak? To Speak or not to Speak
Traditionally it was only ever the Father of the Bride, the Best Man and the Groom who spoke at the reception, but these days many more of the wedding party are getting involved in the speeches! The bride’s speech, while still relatively new in the world of wedding speeches, is a lovely addition to any reception. It’s a lovely chance for you to express all the love, happiness and excitement you’re feeling on this important day, and to share those feelings with your guests.

The best part is that there is no traditional way to do a bride’s speech. So while the Father of the Bride is meant to reminisce about his darling daughter, and the Best Man is meant to mock the groom, the sky is the limit for the Bride! You can give thanks to important people in your life, or share funny, sweet or meaningful stories… whatever you like.

So go on you make that speech.....
