Flower and dress help!

Good Morning Ladies,
I want to do black bridesmaid dresses for the wedding because I don't want the girls to be stuck with a hideous color dress, but I finally found a picture of a bouquet that I like (minus the feathers). The only thing is that I don't think the colors will really pop with black dresses. What color dress would work with these flowers?
Or can I stick with blue and purple flowers and just go lighter?
I am open to all suggestions, and who better to ask than the long island brides?
Thank you for your help, and happy fourth of july!

I actually think those flowers would look gorgeous up against black dresses! The blue is bright enough that there is a contrast...I actually think I like these shades better than light colors with black dresses!

I love the bouquet...Keep in mind that grape hyacinths and iris are bloom in spring and I see you are getting married in Nov....I am sure a florist could order them, but they will be more money....You should ask a florist what flowers come in those colors and it will save you money.....Anything in season is cheaper....

I like the look of the blue and purple against black!

Thank you for all of your feedback ladies!
I definitely will keep in mind what flowers are with what season, I was aiming more for color, but that is great to keep in mind, thank you!
So if I keep those flowers and the black dresses, you don't think the flowers would get lost in pictures?
Thank you again everyone for your help!
