     announcing bride and groom if the bride does't change last name?  

I don't plan to change my last name- so how does the officiant or MC introduce the bride and groom after the ceremony is over?

For the ceremony, you don't have to be announced or presented at all, the processional music can simply start with the kiss. Then you exit.

A second less popular option: Some of my couples have asked that I present them with their last names hyphenated.

Other couples where the bride retained her last name allowed themselves to be presented in the traditional way (knowing full well that the bride would be retaining her name). It was just easier.

I hope this helps. The choice is yours.

Blessings!
