If you ask, “What is Body Language?”

More specifically what is the proper body language to deliver a wonderful wedding speech?

Body language includes eye contact, facial expressions, hand gestures, your stance and your movements around the stage.

The use of body language is a personal preference. It is not something that should be forced as it is simply an outward expression of an inner feeling. The audience will detect faked or timed gestures. Physical gestures are personal and should not be imitated. For example, Bill Clinton used hand gestures to make his body speak. He often looked as if he were a conductor of a symphony. Other speakers such as Abraham Lincoln did not use the hands. Lincoln moved his head from side to make his body speak. Body language is a personal preference and there is no template for public speakers. (more…)

Bridal lingerie can make the difference between looking and feeling great, to looking and feeling amazing and sensational. A bride loves to draw the “Ooohs and Ahhs” of her wedding guests and she knows that it is the whole package, the hair, the makeup, the wedding gown, but added to that mix, is her wedding underwear and altogether will draw the gasps of everyone that she encounters on her wedding day. If a bride can look into a mirror and say “wow!” just imagine what her new husband is going to say. The poor man won’t know what has hit him when, with his eyes hanging on stalks and fighting the urge to drop his jaw, his bride walks towards him in all her wedding finery. (more…)
