No fashionable Victorian bridal party was complete without a small boy as a pageboy or ringbearer. The ringbearer was one of the most picturesque features of the bridal group when quaintly dressed in a little prince pageboy outfit or in a Lord Fauntleroy suit of white or pale tinted satin with a collar and cuffs of  lace and  a sash of soft silk in a contrasting  shade. The ringbearer or pageboy was usually chosen from among the young brothers or nephews of the bride. A pageboy was sometimes dressed in full naval uniform or in a Highland costume; these pageboy outfits also served afterward as a fancy dress suit.
