How to Choose the Right Junior Bridesmaid Dress
Selecting the perfect junior bridesmaid dress involves more than just picking a pretty colour. Here are some key factors to consider when making your decision. For additional wedding planning advice and inspiration, Bridal Guide offers helpful resources for coordinating your entire bridal party.
Consider the Season
The time of year plays a huge role in dress selection. Summer weddings call for lightweight, breathable fabrics like the slip chiffon dress or the princess floor-length dress. For autumn and winter celebrations, consider the lace sleeve option which provides extra warmth and coverage. The sequin top dress works year-round, as you can pair it with a jacket for cooler weather.
Think About Age Appropriateness
Different styles suit different age groups. For younger girls (ages 2-8), the princess-style dress or slip chiffon dress work wonderfully. Older juniors (ages 10-14) often prefer more sophisticated styles like the V-neck chiffon dress or the rhinestone halter dress.
Budget Considerations
With prices ranging from £49.99 to £99.99, there’s an option for every budget. If you’re looking to save money (and let’s face it, children’s formal wear can be expensive!), the slip chiffon dress offers excellent value without compromising style. Remember that junior bridesmaids grow quickly, so you may not want to spend too much on a dress that will only be worn once.
Matching with Flower Girl Dresses
If you have flower girls as well as junior bridesmaids, consider how the dresses will coordinate. The dusty blue colour provides a beautiful cohesive look when paired with lighter or complementary shades. You can also mix and match styles from this collection to create visual interest whilst maintaining colour consistency.
Sizing Tip
All dresses in this collection come with detailed size charts. We strongly recommend measuring your junior bridesmaid and comparing to the size chart rather than ordering based on age alone. Children grow at different rates, and a proper fit ensures comfort throughout the day. If you’re between sizes, consider ordering the larger size, as it’s easier to take in a dress than let it out. For sizing guidance, check our girls’ size guide.
Styling and Accessorising Tips
Once you’ve chosen the perfect dress, here are some tips to complete the look:
Footwear
Choose comfortable shoes that your junior bridesmaids can wear all day. Simple ballet flats in silver, nude, or white work well with dusty blue. For more formal affairs, consider low-heeled dress shoes. Comfort is key – remember, these young girls will be standing, walking, and possibly dancing!
Hair Accessories
Keep hair accessories simple and elegant. Fresh flowers that match your wedding bouquet look beautiful in updos, whilst simple headbands or clips in silver or pearl tones complement the dusty blue colour perfectly.
Outerwear for Cooler Weather
If your wedding is during cooler months and you’ve chosen a sleeveless style, consider providing matching cardigans or shrugs. A simple white or ivory bolero can add warmth without detracting from the dress.
Minimal Jewellery
For junior bridesmaids, less is more when it comes to jewellery. A simple necklace or bracelet is sufficient. For dresses with intricate neckline details (like the rhinestone halter), skip the necklace altogether and opt for small stud earrings or a bracelet instead.
