The maid of honor and bridesmaids bouquets can resemble the brides on a much smaller scale and have the greens inserted in the bouquet instead of surrounding it. To add a little Christmas cheer to the bouquets you can make silver or gold enclosures like you did with the greenery for the brides’ bouquet.
