Junior Bridesmaid Dresses?

My youngest sister is too young to be a bridesmaid but too old to be a flower girl. I thought about having her carry my train as a junior bridesmaid or bridal attendant. My bridesmaids are paying for their attire, Should I ask my parents to pay for my sister's dress? My FH and I are paying for the wedding ourselves. Our parents have not offered to help pay for any other wedding costs.

Also, should she match the adult bridesmaids or match me? Not much experience with the junior bridesmaid thing...

Good question. I definitely see that you’re in a bit of a predicament, but first, kudos that you’re considering having her in your wedding! It would be a moment she’d cherish forever if you two are close.

How old is your little sister? What do you ”too young” for a bridesmaid?
My FH’s little sister will more than likely be in ours. We’re still deciding, because we have several siblings... all varying levels of “closeness” to us. (Long story)
Her dress will be a “junior bridesmaid” dress that’s knee-length from David’s bridal. The color will match my other bridesmaids.

I’m not a fan of anyone wearing white other than the bride - even the flower girl.

She's 12, and my bridesmaid dresses are a deep v, so I don't feel comfortable having her wear that. I like the idea of a knee length dress of the same color that is age-appropriate. Thanks!

Maybe she can match the color of the BM dresses, but have her own cut. Does the place where you got your BM dresses have a Jrs line? As for who pays, traditionally in the US it is the BM or the parents of the FG/jrBM who would pay, but it is best to not assume and talk to your parents about what they would feel comfortable with. And as for what she can do, I had my JrBMs walk in front of the procession just like the regular BMs, holding smaller versions of the BM bouquets.
