I originally didn't want any flowers. I'm not that into flowers. I found some purple Alstroemeria and I really fell in love with them. I just need to know what I can match with them.
So far I have come up with Purple Alstroemeria and Leather Leaf Fern. My colors are Red, Purple and Green. All colors more on the darker end of the spectrum.

Any suggestions that might go with Alstroemeria??

    Those are very pretty! We had alstroemeria with daisies and roses. I don't know if it "goes" together, but I thought it looked very nice!

    I wouldn't use leather leaf (also known as baker's fern) it is not that pretty of a greenery and can be pretty large.

    If you really like the alstro then just use that.  Alstromeria already has some greenery to it so additional greenery isn't necessarily needed.

    Alstromerias are a good "workhorse" flower, they are available year-round, inexpensive, pretty and elegant looking, come in a variety of colors, and last really well.   

    I like them with roses or lilies.  Maybe some red roses with purple alstromerias would be pretty.

    The leatherleaf fern is not the best choice for bouquets, it's rather stiff.  There are plenty of other choices though.

    As a floral designer I would suggest using maybe salal leaves.  I suggest this because leather fern must be kept moist at all times, it dries up very quickly.  Depending how much purple, red, green, the dresses are, your bouquets should be whatever the least colour you have in the dresses.  I say this because, you say they are dark hues, so you need a lighter purple alstromaria, unless the purple is the least colour, than the dark would be okay.  I hope this makes sense to you.  Bunches Bob
