Ok, so it's totally cheesy, but for anyone who grew up when I did, this would be perfect!
What I love about this speech is that it is unique and customized to the bride. The best speech that can be given is one that comes from the heart.

Budget Wedding Flowers
If you are trying to save money on your wedding, have you considered making your own flower arrangements? It is common to look for ways to save money on flowers. By choosing blooms that are in season and grown locally, a fair amount of change can be saved. Some brides also use silk flowers which can be a great option for blooms that will be submerged or only seen from a distance.
Today I stumbled across a website that sells blooms in bulk. If you or a friend are an accomplished flower arranger, this may be a way to make your budget. I've included the video I found, from Bunches Direct. It's not a great video but it does show a very pretty bouquet.
Bunchesdirect.com has a wide assortment of flowers and pre-made bouquets that can be ordered to be delivered on your special day. The only down side? You can't see what they look like in person and if something comes in wrong there will be little time to fix it.
Searching online, there is a lot of mixed advice when it comes to arranging your own flowers. It is a great way to save money, but many recommend against it because it is a task that needs to be done close to the last minute. If you alone will be doing the flowers, look at limiting the number of arrangements in your space. I recommend researching the type of flowers you want to use and pick ones that will stand up well when used in arrangements. The hardier the blooms, the farther in advance you can make the arrangements. You can also consider using live plants in pretty containers. If you have a talented friend or family member, this may be the time to ask them for help!

Your Wedding Wheels
From the fairytale dreams of arriving in a horse drawn carriage to a more modern and traditional limousine there are many different types of vehicles for rent on your wedding day. I've been to some weddings where the Bride and Groom chose to drive their own vehicles, as well as ones where they rented special wheels.
At the wedding show this past Sunday, one of the vendors was a Rolls Royce Limousine service. Their booth was covered in big beautiful pictures of a 1935 Rolls Royce that was available to rent to brides for their special day. I will be one of the first to admit it is a very snazzy looking vehicle. My groom would love this if I only allowed him to wear a top hat to go with it.
I really have not strongly considered what type of vehicle to have at my wedding. There are so many little details to go into wedding planning! It is hard for me to consider putting a large part of my wedding budget towards a special ride. Perhaps a nice rental vehicle from a local rental car provider to take us away to the airport is a good option.
I would love to hear from my readers. Are you hiring a special ride for your wedding day? If so, what type of ride are you considering?
