I love rich burgundy red and pale rose dresses for the bridal attendants. Velvet gowns are exquisite. You can make the maid and matron of honor look great by switching the the opposite color from the bridesmaids. Using a sash or ribbon to accent the gown to tie in the color scheme. Decorations and flowers can be white, wine and different shades of pink for contrast as well as the flowers. Whether or not you choose to use silver or gold accents is a matter of choice. It is less expensive to use a lot of poinsettia pots to cover the tables and at the ceremony and reception. They are plentiful in December and very in season. If you switch the colors on the bouquets to be the opposite of the maid or honor it will make lovely pictures. Don't be afraid to using slightly off hue colors to compliment and make everything dimensional. Be careful of letting the red/burgundy color to dark. The ushers should wear traditional tuxes with a rose boutonniere as accent. Congratulations, he finally landed YOU! All will look perfect and compliment the season. Good luck!
