Here's my bridesmaids' dresses (but in black, not navy):
Can I have my junior bridesmaid wear black too? Or do I have her wear something similar to my color (blush) with black details (ribbons, etc.)?

Re: Junior Bridesmaid dress question?
I think it's entirely up to you.. I think only the flower girl(s) should be dressed like you (colorwise anyway) now, Are your bm's wearing the dress with the cover up? or just the strapless?

It comes with the jacket. One of my bridesmaids (my closest friend & cousin) is a bit heavier, so I was looking for dresses that she would be comfortable in, but yet youthful enough for the other girls who are all on the skinny & young side. I figure for the formal portraits, all the girls except my sister (MOH) can wear the jacket, that way my sister stands out a little bit more.
I don't have any flowers girls, just the JBM and she'll be 11 at the time of the wedding. I've just never seen a young girl wear black in a wedding party. For some reason it doesn't seem right!?!

I wouldn't put a young girl in a black strapless gown. I think you should get her a tank style in the same Navy fabric. I think a black strapless dress is for an older girl, 16+.

I was a junior BM once (years ago) I wore the same dress as the other BM. I believe only flower girls should match the bride and junior BM should match the BM. But since it is strapless, I would see if they could add a strap to it (not a spaghetti strap, but one about and inch thick). Most designers would be willing to do that.

Michele, put the JBM in navy even though the rest of the party is in black?
I definitely wouldn't put her in a strapless!!! Tank or with some kind of sleeve definitely.

Her color should match the rest of the BMs. Black is fine for a joung girl, but definitely give her straps.

Ok...I feel better now knowing that I'm not commiting a sin (whether it be mortal or fashion) by having my JBM wear black!
