10 year old neice

You could have her walking the other two flower girls?

Wedding is too close to get the same dress, etc. We weren't positive if she was going to be able to make it, for medical reasons, but she is for sure now.

You could have her hand out programs or something like that. Or you could have her escort a family member down the aisle (if you're going that route).

Could she do a reading or hand out programs

Could you make her your personal attendant for the day? It's kind of a do-nothing role, in that there are not any specific duties. But she could hang with you and the bridesmaids while you get ready, and be kind of a gopher for anything you might need on the day of, like passing messages back and forth to people outside the bridal suite, getting water for the bride, general helping out, etc. If you do it right, you can make her feel really special and important, without having to give her specific duties.

If you want her to walk down the aisle you could have her carry your train (if your dress has one) and help your MOH fluff it out if need be?

I would have her walk with the flower girls. She doesn’t have to have the same dress as them, especially if they’re younger.

If you want her to talk, she doesn't need the same dress. If you think the processional is too long already, you could have her as an usher.

When my aunt got married, I was that age, they made me a candle lighter. I had a similar dress to the Bridal Party but I did not stand with the party. It made me feel involved. I have also seen someone have an attendant carry their long veil vs. letting in drag on the ground.

She can be a sign holder. I had one and called her a page girl. She held up a sign walking down the aisle that said, “just wait till you see her”

She can say / read a prayer or bible passage if your having a religious ceremony. Or read a simple poem. Make sure you get her a little corsage to make her feel special.

This is literally exactly what we are doing. We have her in a similarly colored dress too! It is making our 10yr neice feel part of the day! We are also having her do a reading! Might want to see if she would be comfortable with that! Good luck!
