JMHO, the flowers are very delicate and dainty. If you follow your design, I would hope that the green you use would be a very soft, delicate green so as to not overpower the flowers themselves. In your diplay model, what I see is a maze of glaring green. What a wonderful find and what a shame the daughters did not appreciate, but lucky for you and I am sure that whatever you do, it will be perfect at the finish.
