Top Choices for Jr Bridesmaid Dresses

Jr bridesmaid dresses can be as easy to find as other bridal dresses. Junior bridesmaids are usually

older than flower girls but younger than your average bridesmaids. They belong to the pre-teens age group of 8 to 14. When buying a gown for them, you have to pick dresses that are not only age appropriate but also match the theme of the wedding.

Girls this age want to look elegant but not older than their age. Since they are in that in-between phase where they are too tall and old to be a flower girl, but not old enough to be called a bridesmaid, it is sometimes challenging to look for gowns that are just right. You will have to choose young and fun designs that will still make them look sophisticated. They would not want to look drab next to the older, worldlier bridesmaids.

Consider the style that will look great on your teen and will not make her appear like a little bride. Most parents overdo it and want their angels to outshine everybody including the bride. Go for the simple yet elegant styles. They are timeless and flexible enough to match other bridal party dresses. Here are the top choices for junior bridesmaid dresses:

Bill Levkoff’s design has an abundance of sophistication even on their junior bridesmaid gowns. Style 30802 is a floor length gown made of Tissue Taffeta that features a bustled skirt with pick-up detail. A ribbon tie accents the natural waist. This is an elegant dress for that formal church wedding.

A nice pink French satin halter strap dress -- that’s Eden Junior Dress JM6024. Its strap wraps around the bodice to the waist in the back. The matching beadworks on the bodice make this a very flexible dress that your teen can wear on other occasions. It all depends on the accessories. Pair this with matching gloves and a simple tiara for a wedding. However, ditch the tiara and don a simple hair band with a pair of earrings for a formal dinner.

Another promising junior dress is Raylia’s 8469LJB. Made of organza, this floor length strapless gown has gentle ruching on the skirt. It comes with a ribbon tie at the natural waist and lace up back. It looks young and stunning on teens. The pastel blue color of the fabric is great for garden weddings, especially those held in the spring. The only downside is that this junior dress looks exactly like a bigger version of the flower girl dresses.

Forever Yours makes wedding dresses in sets as well. One dress is made for the bridesmaid; another for the junior bridesmaid; and another for the flower girl. So expect similar gown designs for the three. Take dress 77202. A strapless tea length chiffon gown with a shirred waist band, it looks simple and classy. The hanging belt with a double tier hemline completes the dramatic effect. For a more modest look, try spaghetti straps and a higher neckline. This dress set offering can make your junior dress more affordable, which is a real treat.

This list of top choices would not be complete without Bari Jay dresses. Dress 20800 is pretty and chic. A good blend of youthful beauty with adult-like elegance, it is a red satin strapless tea length dress with a paneled bubble skirt. This will be a standout in any wedding. What’s more, this can be worn many times after because its style is fashionable even outside the wedding.
