2 YO bridesmaids can be a bit tricky as well... dead cute when done,
but trying to fit them is a nightmare!

People really do that? There haven't been many formal weddings in my
life, but I had the idea that bridesmaids were supposed to be the same
age (roughly) as the bride, and attendants to her. That little kids
were flower girls and ring bearers. Dressing them as adults must be a
really difficult trick.

I suspect there is a cultural difference here. In the U.S.
"bridesmaids" are usually peers of the bride, close friends
or relatives of about the same age, while flower girls
and/or ring bearers are often really cute, very young,
family members.
But remember Diana Spencer's wedding? All the attendants
IIRC were quite young.

"At Lady Diana's wedding to Prince Charles in 1981, her
eldest attendant was a junior bridesmaid. The rest were
satin-clad flower girls and pages, reflecting traditional
costume of the English Court."

We don't traditionally have flower girls over here, and the little
bridesmaids usually have dresses that are the same fabric but a more
suitable style.
