While your groom has to rely on his best man and ushers to help him on your special day, you have the luxury of being able to choose a variety of attendants, from Chief Bridesmaid, bridesmaids, page boys to a little flower girl and ring bearer, each fulfilling a different role during the ceremony and at the reception.
CHIEF BRIDESMAID
The most of important of all your attendants as she will be responsible for arranging your hen party, helping choose the bridesmaid dresses and organizing the other attendants and calming your nerves on the day. If single she is called the Chief Bridesmaid, but this changes to Matron of Honour if she is married. She will also be expected to dance with the Best Man at the reception.
BRIDESMAIDS AND PAGEBOYS
Your other main attendants are your bridesmaids and pageboys who are traditionally close relations or friends from either of your families. Age is an important factor when choosing these attendants, as while very young bridesmaids and pageboys may look delightful they could end up being a bridal nightmare and are often reluctant to perform to cue.
Be sure that your attendants are all clear about what is expected of them before and on the day. Include parents of young attendants in your rehearsals, so that they can have practice runs at home.
RING BEARER
The role of the ring bearer (usually a child) is very clear. He/she carries the ring(s), often on a cushion, to be presented during the ceremony. she can be dressed to match your other attendants or have an individual outfit.
FLOWER GIRL
The flower girl, often dressed as a flower fairy, is traditionally a young girl who walks in front of the bridal party on their way down the aisle at the start of the ceremony. She will often carry a basket of petals or confetti and then distribute it outside the church when the ceremony is over.
