Should Centerpieces match the bouquets?

I really want to make my own table centerpieces with artificial flowers. Should I try to match the bouquets perfectly, or is it okay to just stay with the same general color scheme? The colors of the bouquets are going to be light to medium pink roses, accented by ivory and green.

    Your second and third options are both fine.

    Unless you're using the bouquets as reception floral arrangements as well, I think it's up to you whether they even coordinate.

    I'd toss out #1 just because it will make you crazy to try to match "perfectly".  And it's a detail that not a single guest will really care about.  I am hard pressed to imagine anyone at a table whispering "Good Lord, the centerpieces aren't the exact same shade of pink as the BM bouquets.  What WAS she thinking?"  =)

    I prefer a little variety, so option 2 or 3 works for me.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    I don't think they have to be matchy-matchy but coordinating is nice. I went to a wedding a couple weeks ago (mind you, I am in full planning mode so I look at these things) and the bouquets were a woodsy, natural feeling boquet with dark purples and greens. Then when we got to the reception they had submerged orchids in green and purple so they were bright and summery... Just a weird combination I thought.

    Honestly, no one will really notice your flowers at all, or remember what the bouquets looked like by the time they get to the reception (unless the bouquets are displayed somehow).

    For us, the bouquets WERE the centerpieces.  The bridesmaids and I just dropped them into vases after the ceremony, so it was fewer arrangements for me to make.
    This is a neglected planning bio.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
