What Should a Junior Bridesmaid Wear? Style Tips and Ideas

1 month ago 112

Do you have a special little lady in your life who you’d love to include in your bridal party, who has outgrown the role of flower girl, but hasn't quite reached the maturity required of a full-fledged bridesmaid? Guess what? You just found your junior bridesmaid!

A special member of your wedding party, junior bridesmaids are typically between 8 to 16 years old (or whatever ages you feel are appropriate). 'But what does a junior bridesmaid wear?' we hear you ask. Well, here we are sharing a junior bridesmaid style guide and a few fabulous options for age-appropriate attires.

What Should a Junior Bridesmaid Wear?

Junior bridesmaids should wear something that's reflective of their age but not so youthful that it resembles the flower girls, which is a more difficult balance to strike than you might think. They should blend with the rest of the bridal party standing by your side. Depending on the bridesmaid dresses, your junior bridesmaids may be able to wear a more age-appropriate version (no low-cut necklines or thigh high slits!) of the bridesmaid gowns.

Junior Bridesmaid Style Ideas

Your junior bridesmaid not a dress kinda gal? No problem! Look for options such as jumpsuits, rompers, mix-and-match skirt and top combos or even a suit. See the gorgeous photos below for lots of Junior Bridesmaid inspiration and see our post with junior bridesmaid style and outfits you can shop right now.
