Sorry to butt in on your thread but I'm confused about this too. I'm having 6 bridesmaids 5 younger girls and 1 older who is my best friend. She is calling herself my maid of honour, but I thought you could only be maid of honour if you were married?? Im confused. Is she just my cheid bridesmaid then? But an MOH is more of an American tradition, the British equivalent is chief bridesmaids so they're the same thing.. Yep, you two are right.
Matron of Honour is married maid literally means virgin in this context! Maid of Honour is an American term and Chief Bridesmaid is our equivalent though of course lots of people use Maid of Honour here now. In my mother's day married in a Matron of Honour didn't dress like the bridesmaids but might have a co-ordinating outfit that was a bit like what a wedding guest would wear.
My aunt was my mother's Matron of Honour and had a short, fitted dress that co-ordinated with the bridesmaids who had long dresses with puffy skirts. My aunt also wore a short veil, which was common for a Matron of Honour and sometimes even for bridesmaids at the time. My mum used to be a milliner and she used to talk about fascinators and be refering to small pill box hats with veils or bands with veils I decided to sod that idea! My 2 big bridesmaids are my big bridesmaids, I can't pick one over the other!
And my little one is a princess my niece, she doesn't know what a bridesmaid is, but she get's princess so we're sticking with that! She didn't do or wear anything different. You voted for.
