I'm trying to sort out the cards for requesting if people will be my bridesmaids. I'm wanting my eldest sister to be my moh. However, I've just realised that it may be more appropriate for her to be chief bridesmaid, but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me what the actual difference is? X

And matron of honour used in place of Maid of honour wehen the chief bridemaid is married... to confuse further! Basically no difference... just the name to describe the head honcho bridesmaid that should organise the other bridesmaids.
And we lived happily ever after!

They're the same thing, CBM is British, MOH is American.

Just for a bit of interest; maid of honour is an old English phrase, however was used to describe the cheif attendant of the queen. It was adopted by the Americans (afterall, I suppose the bride is 'queen for the day'!) to been the head bridesmaid.
We are having a 'maid of honour', mostly because I like the sound of it more and it fits better...although at right months pregnant on the day we're going to have a hard time convincing anybody she's a maid lol xx

That is true actually, when the queen was crowned her attendants where known as 'maids of honour'
