i think it depends on the situation and who the friend is that you bring. here are my examples: my sister got married almost three weeks ago and two people brought guests that weren't a boyfriend/guy friend, whatever. one of the bridesmaids brought her sister along as her guest. now my sister didn't really feel that that was appropriate, but she wouldn't say anything. she knew this girls sister for awhile, but the sister wasn't invited, there were no intentions of inviting her, etc... i think she felt that this bridesmaid turned the trip into more of a family vacation, her mom came up for the week too, since it was in a beach town. when we did stuff for my sister, or my sister had stuff planned for all the bridesmaids, this girl didn't always come because she was off doing stuff with her mom and her sister, and i think that really bothered my sister. now on the opposite spectrum of that, one of my sister's good friends and her boyfriend broke up a few weeks before the wedding. she didn't really want to come alone so she called my sister up and asked if it would be ok to bring her aunt, who she's really close with, they're not too apart in age and stuff. now my sister didn't mind that. obviously she wasn't planning all along to bring her aunt and she wasn't too sure about it, so she checked it out. if you need some moral support there and would like to bring a friend, i might just check it out with the people getting married, just kind of give them a bit of a heads up as to the situation.
