A bridal party is a group of individuals chosen by the bride to support her during the wedding planning process and on the wedding day. This group typically includes the bridesmaids, who assist with various tasks, and may also feature a maid of honor, who has special responsibilities, such as helping the bride with decisions and planning. The bridal party often participates in pre-wedding events, such as bridal showers and bachelorette parties. They also stand alongside the bride during the wedding ceremony, symbolizing their support and friendship. The size and composition of the bridal party can vary based on personal preferences and cultural traditions.
