I too will be getting married this December & my theme is Christmas so one thing I will do is incorporate a holiday theme into my centerpieces. Instead of standard flowers for all the tables, I'm using things like cranberries, pine clippings, pine cones, in addition to flowers. Every table will have a different setting. Silver accents will be added to the decorations to give them a shimmer effect as if it was covered in a light misting of snow.
As for mother of the bride wear, my girls we be wearing cranberry colored dresses so the mothers will be wearing a complementary champagne color. Corsages in the same flowers as the brides bouquet really highlights it.
Remember it is her day. If she wants to wear the dress that you think is tacky, just nod your head & let her wear it. Regardless of what your taste is, she may not agree w/you & have something different in mind altogether.
Be supportive. My family criticizes almost everything I do for the wedding. It adds unwanted stress to a person that already has enough to deal with.
Finally, keep careful track of what you have & what you spend. It will help keep you from last minute panic.
I hope this helps!
