Matching flowers?

Hi everyone

Due to having fairly extreme hayfever I don't appreciate real flowers at all so decided on fake ones for our wedding. After scouring through loads of fabric and foam ones I came across some paper origami ones that I thought looked great and after watching a couple of YouTube tutorials have made myself an origami bouquet (similar to this one https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b5/47/43/b5474307ab507015a3cef2fcc888f048.jpg)

I'm really happy with it but am now faced with the problem of my 2 bridesmaids and buttonholes for the boys. My other half doesn't think that these will sit well as buttonholes (and if I'm honest he's probably right) and so we have bought artificial ones for this http://www.therange.co.uk/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=56870&keywords=buttonholes&redirect=true&lng=&ctry=GB

I'm torn whether to try and cobble some origami ones together for the bridesmaids... in which case the boys won't match the girls or whether to get the bridesmaids little artifical poseys (http://www.therange.co.uk/ivory-pearl-rose-bouquet/wedding/the-range/fcp-product/63968 for example)... in which case I won't match anyone!

I know it doesn't matter at all what you're "supposed to do" but I don't want our (rather expensive!) photos to end up looking odd and mismatched.

Any thoughts?

The button holes and bridesmaids posies you've linked are ivory...which goes with everything!

If your bouquet looks like the first one (and it looks lovely) you've linked then I don't see the problem at all. Your bridesmaids are not going to be in all the photos anyway.

Where's the matching issue? Boys and bridesmaids are both ivory, so perfectly matching, and yours stand out as looking stunningly different - perfect!

Thank you both, I hadn't thought of it like that.

I think I'll pick up the bridesmaids flowers and lay them out next to each other and see how it looks. I put a few white flowers in with my bouquet anyway so hopefully that should tie it all together.
