Bridesmaids are members of the bride's wedding party in a wedding. A bridesmaid is typically a young woman, and often a close friend or sister. She attends to the bride on the day of the wedding. Traditionally, bridesmaids were chosen from unwed young women of marriageable age and are dressed in matching bridesmaid dresses. Although similar to the bride's dress, they are generally of a different color varying anywhere from red to peach to a royal blue bridesmaid dress.
Often there is more than one bridesmaid, the bride chooses how many to ask. Historically, no person of status went out unattended, and the size of the retinue was closely calculated to be appropriate to the family's social status. Then, as now, a large group of bridesmaids provided an opportunity for showing off the family's social status and wealth. The bride generally chooses the color scheme and style of her bridesmaid's dresses and choices abound today with halter neck styles, sleeveless styles and a whole color palette from lilac to a royal blue bridesmaid dress.
