Wait just a minute,
I had my bridesmaids carry bright pink and orange and yellow and red bouquets (each had a separate color) with their red bridesmaids dresses and everyone complemented on them.

More hints/ideas:
* use the covers of old Christmas cards for table decorations, reply cards, seating cards or wish bowl cards. Great way to recycle old, pretty cards and keep a festive Christmas theme
* use ornaments as decorations/favors. They're relatively inexpensive and make pretty mementos.
* if they're on a tight budget, borrow anything and everything you can where decorations are concerned. We had mirrored square tiles that were originally bought for my oldest sister's first wedding, used for my middle sister's wedding, used again for my oldest sister's second wedding, used for another friend's wedding, used for my middle sister's sister-in-law's wedding, then used for her brother-in-law's wedding, used by me at my wedding and then later lent to someone else to use at their wedding.
* Do as much as possible, as early as possible. Start making favors as soon as she knows what she wants to do, buy decorations early, buy attendant favors and have them wrapped and ready well before the big day. The fewer things she has to worry about the closer it gets to the wedding, the better it will be for everyone.
