Frequently Asked Questions

Do brides typically give speeches at weddings?

Yes! Modern brides increasingly give speeches - about 67% of brides now speak at their weddings. It's a beautiful way to personally thank your loved ones and share your joy on your special day.

When should the bride give her speech?

Brides often speak after the groom, but timing varies. Some couples give joint speeches, others speak separately. Many brides also speak during the rehearsal dinner. Choose timing that feels right for your celebration.

How long should a bride's wedding speech be?

Aim for 2-4 minutes. As the bride, guests are excited to hear from you, but you also want to keep the celebration moving. A heartfelt, concise speech is more impactful than a lengthy one.

What should I wear while giving my speech?

Whatever you feel confident in! Some brides change into their reception dress, others stay in their ceremony gown. Practice your speech in whatever you plan to wear so you're comfortable with movement and length.

Should I coordinate my speech with my husband's?

It's helpful to coordinate timing and who you'll thank to avoid repetition, but each speech should reflect your individual personality. You might divide thank-yous or share different perspectives on your love story.

What if I'm not comfortable with public speaking?

Remember that everyone in the room loves you and wants you to succeed! Keep it short and sweet, practice beforehand, and focus on speaking to your husband and closest family rather than the whole crowd. Your love will carry you through.
