What Does a Junior Bridesmaid Do?

A junior bridesmaid is a great way to include younger family members and close friends. It's a sweet moment for both you and them to remember. Usually, a junior bridesmaids is younger that the bridal party and around the ages of 9-15 years old. The bride can choose how much or how little the junior bridesmaid is included on the wedding day. While they don't always have a list of responsibilities, it is a way for them to be a part of your special day.

Choosing a Dress Color For a Junior Bridesmaid

It's up to the bride to decide what color the junior bridesmaid wears. Some brides prefer their junior bridesmaids to match with the bridesmaids. Other may prefer a different color for the junior bridesmaid, as it's a unique and special role. If the junior bridesmaid is younger, the bride may want them to wear white or ivory- like a flower girl dress. The color of the dress for the junior bridesmaid is completely up to the bride and her preference.

Junior Bridesmaids: Coordinated vs. Mismatched Bridal Party

Do junior bridesmaids wear the same dress as the bridal party? This is an excellent question to ask that we receive almost daily! This is up to the bride's personal preference. All brides are different and have their own visions. Some brides may like similar dress styles and others may like something that doesn't look the same. All that matters is that the dresses are cohesive together. After all, you want to make sure there is a flow to your bridal party.
