As a matter of fact ,there are no general duties that bridesmaids have to carry at each single wedding. What they should do at the ceremony may depend on their age and the scenario of the ceremony. In general, those younger maids of honor may not be that helpful as those older ones. What’s more, for those older maids of honor ,they will even be supportive and helpful even the wedding is over.
