Being a professional bridesmaid has become a hot occupation in Haikou, capital of Hainan province.

Many wedding companies are now hiring out bridesmaids to couples planning their big day.

These professional members of the bridal party range in age from 20 to 25, possess a bright and cheerful disposition and don't mind a drink or two.

They can earn between 600 ($90) and 700 yuan for each wedding.

Those with good looks and lean figures are said to be able to earn even more.
