So I have the cutest 10 year old cousin and I want to ask her to be in my wedding party. She is too old for flower girl, but not old enough/big enough to wear the dress my BMs are wearing. What do I do about this? I don't see anything by the designer that is an alternative for something like this...

You can probably have a similar custom made. However, some designers are making Junior Bridesmaid dresses now. I would check different designers to see if they have anything romotely close to what you are looking for. Good Luck with this.

my cousins FG was 9 or 10.. she walked down with her 3yr old niece..it was really cute!! It put the younger FG at ease having someone to walk down with who could kind of encourage her. I've actually been to quite a few weddings with FGs who are a bit older, and they look beautiful, and also have less of a problem when it comes to shyness.
If you wanted to make her a junior BM instead and cant find the style dress ure girls are wearing in a jr style..maybe try getting a dress by a different designer in the same color and similar style.. or give her a whole different dress in your color that would compliment the girls. Sorry if i'm not much of a help! :(

You could order extra fabric and have a dress made. You could also look for a dress in a contrasting color that would look good against the color of BM dresses you chose. With a girl that young, you could even use a different fabric - especially if it is a softer fabric.

I have 3 Jr BMs and I know that Bill Levkoff and David's Bridal had cute stuff!

Hehehe - I'm actually not having a flower girl or ring bearer! I don't have any cousins, family or friends that age! My 10 year old cousin is the baby, and she was a flower girl in my other cousin's wedding 3 years ago. But, maybe if I try to make her a flower girl then I can get away with giving her a white dress with a sash made of the same material as the BM dresses

I don't see why not.. it may be hard to put her in a bm dress that you feel fits your style at her age. im sure it can of course be done though. It's totally a personal preference. You could even put her in a white dress like you say and instead of having her throw flowers if you feel she's too old for that, you can have her hold a small bo-k just like the other bms and simply walk down..or .. sometimes instead of or along with a flower girl and ringbearer , brides appoint another child to carry their train if it is long as they walk down the aisle. I think that would be a great job for a 10 yr old girl!!! There's lots of ways you can play around with it, and i'm sure it will turn out great no matter what, just having her in the wedding will be special no matter how she takes part :)

I have two Jr BM - Fh's 10yr old nieces...My BM are wearing brown Jim Helm dress and they are wearing Bill Levkoff Jr BM dresses...they looked amazing on the girls. I would check out Bill Levkoff's Jr BM dresses.... you could get them in a similar color to your BM's or put them in a contrast color. My BM are in brown and Jr BM, will be in champagne with a brown sash.
