Writing a wedding speech is the number one source of anxiety for best men, maids of honour, and witnesses — ahead of the gift budget and the hen do logistics. At Mademoiselle Bulle, Kristina gives you a structured method for writing a speech that's funny, moving, and doesn't last 45 minutes.
Our articles offer template structures (opening, anecdote, heartfelt message, toast), commented examples by style (humorous, poetic, offbeat, heartfelt), and the absolute no-go list — incomprehensible in-jokes, exes mentioned "for a laugh", and holding the microphone two feet from your face. According to Hitched UK, 81% of couples rank the speeches in their top three most emotional moments of the day.
You don't need to be Shakespeare. You just need to be sincere — and prepared.
