Bridesmaids play an important role in the wedding bridal party and are usually a close friend or sister. A bridesmaids role is to help the bride during the wedding or marriage ceremony. The Maid of Honor, or Matron of Honor if married, provides practical and emotional support to the bride. She might assist the bride with dressing and, if needed, help the bride manage her veil, bouquet of flowers, or the train of her wedding dress during the day. The bride might also expect the Matron of Honor, or the Chief Bridesmaid to arrange a hens night before the wedding ceremony. The Flower Girl is a traditional part of a wedding procession. Like ring bearers and page boys, flower girls are usually members of the bride or groom's extended family, but may also be friend related.

Western bridesmaid tradition is thought to have originated from Roman law, which required ten witnesses at a wedding in order to outsmart evil spirits, by dressing in identical clothing to the bride and groom, so that the evil spirits would not know who was getting married. Even as late as the 19th century England, there was a belief that ill-wishers could administer curses and taint the wedding. In Victorian wedding photographs, for example, the bride and groom are frequently dressed in the same fashion as other members of the bridal party.
