I really love the idea of having pomanders line the aise for the ceremony. I was thinking of doing them myself but don't know how I would feel doing flower arrangements a day before the wedding...unless I use silk flowers then I can make them weeks in advance and store them for use during the ceremony.
I'm not a big fan of silk or fake flowers but I'm already spending couple of thousand on flowers and this would just add more costs.
I like them when they are the same flower in one shade. I would like to use carnations or roses: a full bloom flower.
My ceremony is inside a church and I love the way they look outside. I haven't been able to find any pictures of pomanders in church or other inside ceremonies.
I love the coral ones.
These are some of my favorites that I've seen online. Two of the pictures are DIY steps for making pomanders.
Here is a website for making your own pomanders.

Pomanders also often serve as flower gifl flowers since they don't have to carry a bouquet and its easy to attach the ribbon string on their wrists.
Good luck with your choices!

Something like that would be very nice!
You're very creative and give excellent advice so I'm sure whatever you do will work out wonderfully! Good Luck!

I might do half spheres and hang them off pews so that they dont stick out. Now i need to find some pic of a half sphere pomander thing-y.
