junior bridesmaids

Younger wedding helpers

Junior bridesmaids are young girls, typically between eight and fourteen, who serve in a wedding party.

They're too old to be flower girls but too young to be full bridesmaids.

They usually wear dresses similar to the bridesmaids' but age-appropriate, and walk in the processional without the full duties of adult attendants.
