I never saw junior bridesmaids until fairly recently. They seem to be, maybe, ages 10-14? They pretty much do what bridesmaids do except they usually don't have escorts and the style they wear may not be as mature.
Honeychile, I hope we can keep candles away from the close-in ceremony area. When my Beta Buddy (temporary big sis in Pi Phi) was getting married, her veil caught on a huge standing candle as the couple turned to leave the altar. It started to tip towards her veil and a groomsman made this heroic leap and grabbed the candle at the last minute.
