Well, the dresses are apple red and she thinks she wants to carry AOII red roses with a couple of those roses that are both red and white, then her maid of honor will have mostly the red/white roses, then the bridesmaids will have mostly white roses. They'll have some kind of Christmas item in them--holly or maybe little Christmas balls like I used. Any suggestions?
We don't know what the junior bridesmaids and flower girl will carry, possibly white fur muffs with holly on them or some type of Christmas kissing balls.
I also read about the graduating shades theme being used in fall weddings--the first bridesmaid wore rust and then it shaded back to the maid of honor in deep peach.
OMG, HappyKappy! I'd better not let my daughter see how many bridesmaids your mom had or she'll go for that idea! All our relatives had baby girls in the eighties and there are tons of cousins she wishes she could use! Plus with 8 sisters of her own, she's hardly able to use any friends. And somehow she's got the idea that asking people to be in the house party is insulting to them, that you only want them to work during the reception.
