The Perfect Role Between Flower Girl and Bridesmaid: Meet the Junior Bridesmaid!
Hello lovelies!
Today, I wanted to touch on a sweet and growing wedding trend: having a junior bridesmaid in your bridal party. Personally, I adore this idea! It’s the perfect role for a girl who’s grown out of being a flower girl, but isn’t quite old enough to be an adult bridesmaid.
A junior bridesmaid adds a unique and charming touch to the wedding, and it gives that in-between age group a chance to feel special, responsible, and truly included in the big day. It’s such a meaningful way to honour the girls in your life with a role that feels just right — and I promise, they’ll never forget it!
What Makes a Junior Bridesmaid Dress Different From a Flower Girl Dress?
If you’re stuck and don’t know where to begin — don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! There are so many creative ways to differentiate your junior bridesmaids from your flower girls, while still keeping a cohesive look.
If you want them to wear something similar, one tip I love to share with customers is this: choose the same dress style for both, but have the flower girls in a shorter version and the junior bridesmaids in a longer style. It keeps everything coordinated while giving each role its own little moment to shine!
However, as someone with experience in children's dress consultations, I know it’s not always plain sailing! Sometimes, girls have their own ideas and want something completely different — and that’s totally okay.
If that’s the case, we can absolutely work with it. We can often adjust or customize certain styles to suit each girl's preferences, while still making sure the overall look stays cohesive. Whether it’s a different neckline, sleeve style, or added embellishments, there are so many subtle ways to make each dress unique but still part of the same story.
Don’t worry — we can probably do more than you think!
My Top 3 Crystal & Pearl Boutiques Junior Bridesmaid Collection Picks!
To give you a few ideas and a little style inspiration, I thought I’d share some of my top junior bridesmaid dress picks that I think will be a big hit with your little princesses!
The Nova Dress
One of my all-time favorites has to be our Nova dress — it’s an absolute showstopper! The pearl-embellished V-back is simply stunning and photographs beautifully, making it a standout choice for any junior bridesmaid.
What I love most about the Nova is how customisable it is. You can remove the pearls, raise the V for a little extra coverage, or even add a glitter layer to the skirt for that extra touch of magic. You can also adjust the length, so whether you want it floor-length or tea-length, you can truly make it your own.
What else can we change for you? Oh, I’m not finished yet — the customisation options are truly endless!
You can also choose from a variety of tulle and satin colours, so whether you're matching your wedding palette or letting your junior bridesmaid choose her favourite shade, there's room to get creative. From soft pastels to rich jewel tones, there’s something to suit every theme and every little personality.
The Rebecca Dress
Another one of my all-time favourite dresses is the Rebecca Dress — and trust me, it’s breathtaking! Crafted from luxurious Mikado satin, this gown features a graceful train at the back and a beautiful, statement bow that ties everything together perfectly. It’s truly the ultimate junior bridesmaid dress — elegant, timeless, and full of charm.
Like many of our pieces, the Rebecca Dress is also fully customisable. You can choose from a wide variety of colours to suit your wedding palette, and if you prefer a simpler look, you have the option to remove the train or shorten the length. It’s all about creating a dress that’s as unique as your junior bridesmaid!
The Amora Dress
Last but certainly not least, my final top pick has to be the Amora Dress. This stunning gown is all about making a statement — with elegant pearl draping at the back, it’s guaranteed to wow your guests and add that unforgettable touch to your junior bridesmaid’s look.
The Amora also features a floral-detailed bodice that adds a touch of romance, paired beautifully with a soft, flowing tulle skirt. It’s delicate, timeless, and just the right blend of youthful and sophisticated — a perfect choice for a little lady who wants to feel extra special. You can also remove the train or shorten the length to suit your preferred style.
