I have 2 daughters, 14 and 12 who are happy for the two of us! However, they want to be involved, as do we. I was thinking of mini brides because our ceremony will include the vows for the children. I cannot find white dresses for them, and they want to be just like Mom! They asked for rings, and want to walk me down the aisle. I am ecstatic but need help to include teens. Thanks!

If you want to include your family in the vow renewal please consider the unity candle ceremony . It is not proper for this service to resemble a wedding. So, neither you, nor your daughters, should be dressed as a bride. None of you are brides and this is not a wedding. This is why you are having trouble locating these types of dresses for your daughters. Please review our page on wedding vow renewal etiquette.

Sorry to rain on your parade. [unsure]

I completely agree. Plus, even if this were a wedding, your daughters would not be marrying. The symbolism is very negative. If it were a wedding, they could be Junior bridesmaids. But, I agree that a candle lighting would be much more appropriate for a vow renewal.
