Exactly as the title. I have got dressing gowns for getting ready and photos on the morning of the wedding. What is the term most commonly used?? Or is it personal choice??
Thanks girls xxx

I think it's personal choice.. I think chief bridesmaid may be american as I'd onlyever heard it on american shows until I came on here.. I'm not having any bridesmaids, only a maid of honour xxx

I am having a maid of honour, it depends what do you prefer?
CommentAuthorcarnally
I thought it had to do with the marriage status of the bridesmaid. I think traditionally if the bridesmaid is married she should be a maid of honour and if she's not married she should be chief bridesmaid.
I could be wrong though, not 100% sure
CommentAuthorHannahD47
Maid of honour is unmarried. Matron of honour is married.
Mine is a maid of honour, just because thats what she calls herself :)

Mine is married but don't think she'd like being called a matron, sounds like miss trunchbull from Matilda lol

It's personal choice - maid of honor originally referred to a female attendant to the queen, perhaps that's why the chief bridesmaid designation came about. who knows???
CommentAuthorInDreamland
My sister refers to herself as my chief bridesmaid, I thought maid of honour was an American thing but also that's what you call her if she's married, but my sister is married but Still calls herself CBM xx
Married the love of my life on Saturday 11th May 2013 xxx
Had our dream perfect honeymoon in Hawaii!
CommentAuthorHelenW
I thought if she was married she was a maid of honour if not then a chief bridesmaid? We are going with chief bridesmaid - personal opinion that maid of honour sounds a bit old fashioned..x

I'm just having them all as bridesmaids I haven't given any of them jobs other than 'look pretty' and as they're all family it was easiest to make them equal x
CommentAuthorJSB&PSB
I personally came to the understanding that a maid of honour was married and a chief bridesmaid was not. I've chosen to go by this and have a chief bridesmaid. It's probably just personal choice though :) x
Less then a year till i marry my wonderful man

hate to be pedantic but maid strictly refers to an unmarried girl or woman especially when young : virgin. Matron refers to a married woman.
