    I'm not 100% sure but I think a Maid of Honour is the term for a bridesmaid that's married.

    Isn't one just the American term? Maid of honour is unmarried. Matron of honour is married.

    A bridesmaid is typically a young woman, and often a close friend or sister. She attends to the bride on the day of a wedding or marriage ceremony. Traditionally, bridesmaids were chosen from unwed young women of marriageable age. The principal bridesmaid, if one is so designated, may be called the chief bridesmaid or maid of honor if she is unmarried, or the matron of honor if she is married. A junior bridesmaid is a girl who is clearly too young to be marriageable, but who is included as an honorary bridesmaid

    Maid of honour tend to be older and Married, or sometimes their may be 3 or 4 and you don't want to raise one above the others but you want to acknowledge them slightly more, kind of thing, so they do not have to be married
