Flowers for deep purple dresses?

Hello everyone,
I'm getting married in May 2012 in TN, and my colors are deep purple (lapis, according to DB), cream, and silver. I want to use cream roses for the bridesmaid bouquets, but I'm unsure what other colors will be complementary. I don't want to use green or blue flowers if I can help it, and I'm afraid pink and red will look too strange. Am I being too picky? Also, I wanted to carry a red rose bouquet, but my fiance is convinced it won't look good in the pictures with the bridesmaids' purple dresses. I was hoping to compromise with a cream rose bouquet with a few red roses, so that my bouquet doesn't disappear into my dress. Thoughts on either my bouquet or my bridesmaids? Thanks so much.

    My dress had midnight blue in it and since I have always loved iris's I use purple and blue iriis's. I couldn't quite make out your whole post since the right side is cutting off words.

    I'm doing purple, but to lighten things up will be using mauve and blush roses.

    I did yellow and white daisies with dark purple dresses.

    Our colors were eggplant and pear green.  Here are a couple of pictures that show what the bridesmaids bouquets and my bouquet looked like with the green.
