Flowers don't match Bridemaids' dresses?

metalgirl14

Hi there,

I will be getting married on June 26, 2011 but I had a couple of questions about flowers. My main color is lavender but I was thinking of having primarily pink and white flowers to accent the lavender. I'm unfortunately on a very tight budget so I will probably end up using silk flowers. The other day, I found this flower set on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Cala-Lily-Rose-CREAM-PINK-GREEN-Bridal-Bouquet-18pc-Set-/360147723278?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53da7a240e

It looks pretty and it is generally the colors I am looking at. If they can incorporate a couple lavender flowers and a lavender ribbon into this set, would these flowers look ok with a lavender bridesmaid dress? Also, if I used a similar design for the centerpieces, would that look ok with the lavendar tablecloths?

I haven't bought the bridesmaids dresses yet, but I was thinking of something like this (orchid color dress with an ivory sash):

For that price, you could use real flowers!  Check out Etsy too.  If you are looking for someone to make your flowers, they can customize it the way you'd like.

Jagore08, did you scroll down and read the whole description?  It's 5 bouqets, 4 corsages, and 9 bouts for under $200. 

OP, I think they would be fine. I don't feel like everything has to be match perfectly, they just need to look good together.  BTW I couldn't pull up the pic of the dress.
