The definition
of a traditional
bridesmaid is
simply a woman
who attends to
the bride on her
wedding day.
However,
bridesmaids are
an integral part
of the big day,
and serve the
ever-important
purpose of
ensuring that
everything goes
as planned.
Usually a few
close friends,
sisters, or
female relatives
of either the
bride or groom
fill the role of
bridesmaids.
If you have a
lot of potential
bridesmaids,
list them all
down and pick
out which ones
are closest to
you, which ones
you have known
the longest and
are most likely
to help you with
everything from
wedding jitters
to potential
disasters. There are no
definite rules
on the number of
bridesmaids you
should have, although most weddings do not have more than eight.
Conventionally
bridesmaid is
supposed to pay
for their own
apparels.
They walk down the aisle and
stand as instructed by the bride. During the
reception they have to dance with the groomsmen and
sometimes even asked to mingle, dance with
unattached guests, keeping children occupied,
and organizing the gifts on tables
