The main difference between these bridal attendants is marital state. Otherwise, the maid of honor (unmarried) and the matron of honor (married) have essentially the same responsibilities. If the wedding party has both attendants, however, the maid of honor usually "stands closest to the bride; holding her bouquet and serving as the witness," according to WeddingBasics.com.
