Lastly, if you enjoy reading the background information of how bridesmaids originated in wedding tradition- here’s a spooky little snipit for you! (Straight from the fabulous Wikipedia)

The Western bridesmaid tradition is thought to have originated from Roman Law, which required ten witnesses at a wedding in order to outsmart evil spirits (believed to attend marriage ceremonies) by dressing in identical clothing to the bride and groom, so that the evil spirits would not know who was getting married. Even as late as 19th century England, there was a belief that ill-wishers could administer curses and taint the wedding. In Victorian wedding photographs, for example, the bride and groom are frequently dressed in the same fashion as other members of the bridal party.

Other people cite the Biblical story of Jacob, and his two wives Leah and Rachel, who both literally came with their ownmaids as detailed in the Book of Genesis (29:24, 46:18) as the origin of bridesmaids. These women were handmaidens(servants or slaves) instead of social peers.
