Default Holly flowers.... to berries?

Greetings, friendly oracles of the garden world

My lone female holly bush has started to produce little white flowers.
(The garden centre didn't tell me that it was female and that I need a
male within 50 feet to fertilise it.)

My presumption is that, since there are no male holly bushes within a
five-mile radius that I know of, these flowers will not produce
berries. Or will they? Or should I go and cut some sprigs off a male
holly and wave them over the flowers? Obviously, I'd love some berries!

Excuse my astonishing ignorance. All advice much appreciated.

Dave
