		<description>Kay,

Since there are very few natural blue flowers and the attendant's formal wear contains blue, I would avoid blue flowers.  Instead I would use a blue ribbon to accent all floral arrangements.

Calla lilies are a beautiful winter and Christmas flower option.  For the bridal bouquet I would use calla lilies with a little eucalyptus in a hand tied bouquet along with a few trailing pieces of variegated ivy.

For the bridesmaids, I would use white flowers embellished with blue ribbon.  White flowers  such as Casablanca lilies, gardenias, roses, Gerbera daisies, carnations, chrysanthemums, fressia. amaryllis and hydrangea are considered appropriate Christmas and winter time wedding flowers.  A simple bridesmaid bouquet would be a hand-tied Gerbera Daisy bouquet -- elegant but simplistic.  Another option would be a bouquet composed of Casablanca lilies and fir (used sparingly).     

The use of all white flowers will create an elegant and sophisticated look than will compliment the clean lines of Military dress blues.  The white flowers will, also, compliment any Christmas decor used for decoration. 

If the bride wants a touch of color red flowers or Christmas ornaments can be added to the bridesmaids bouquets.</description>
