My fiancée wants her niece to be the Junior Bride (a miniature version of her). The Junior Bride is different from a Junior Bridesmaid; she dresses exactly like the bride.
I have heard it may be a Hispanic wedding tradition. Also that it is usually the child of either the groom or bride, or plays a significant part of the couple's life. Her niece is not part of our life. My fiancée has expressed that there is no particular reason for her niece to be a Junior Bride, other than it was a "good idea". My fiancée did not raise her niece nor has a bond beyond the normal aunt-niece, and her niece's mom is already the Maid of Honor. I say make her an usher, tea girl, or Junior Bridesmaid. No, the bride does not get the final word, because I am getting married also; it is OUR day! I am very involved with the wedding planning, as much if not more than she is.
