clashing bouquet help!

so we are having an art nouveau/deco themed wedding in an art museum, we are planning on doing a lot in cala lily's, as they seem to be one of the comon flowers when looking at that style art work, however i am doing a brooch bouquet and i am not sure how to coordinate my bridesmaids bouquets or grooms/groomsmens boutineirs into this without clashing. Origionally the girls were going to have simple, long stemmed bouquets of three lily's, i don't know if i should add a brooch to the bouquet wrapping or in the bouquet somewhere or what. need help pulling this all together!!!

    Tying the calla lilies with a ribbon and adding a brooch to the ribbon seems like a great way to link the bridesmaids' bouquets to your own bouquet.   It sounds like you have it pulled together already.  Take a deep breath and trust your judgment.

    <div>I agree!  Your bouquets do not have to match perfectly, they just need to "go" with one another.  I like the idea of adding a single brooch.  It's simple, elegant, and ties everything together.  For the men, you could just have mini lilies without a brooch.</div>
