The role of bridesmaid was a ceremonial position at both Muggle and wizarding weddings. The role was largely for show, but bridesmaids also traditionally played a central part in preparations for the wedding and helped the bride on the day, as the name suggests.[1]
At a wedding, there might be either one bridesmaid, several bridesmaids, or none at all. Because bridesmaids were generally chosen by the bride, those who occupied the position were usually close to her — a sister or a good friend.[1]
It is likely, that because at least one best man at a magical wedding is known to have become the godfather of the couple's first child, that the bridesmaid normally became the godmother of this child also. Bridesmaids are known to wear bright colours that were different to that being worn by the bride.[1]
