My garden next year will be mostly pinks and blues with some yellows sprinked in. I will include any other plants I like also. Here is what I have now:
Dahlia
Lambs Ear
Carribean Crush Verbascum (If I can find it.)
Snapdragon
Hyacinth (Blue, Purple, Pink)
Gladiolus (Pink)
Narcissi (butter cup with white petals/pink center.)
Ranunculus
Freesia
and solid pink dianthus.
What are some other similar flowers that I could use?
Help me pick some flowers...?
You picked alot of pretty plants, but alot of them are bulbs that have a short bloom time.
Watch the Lambs Ears because they spread like crazy and can really become a problem. Here are some ideas for some perennials.

Reply:Are you looking for advice on annuals or perennials?
I don't know what USDA Hardiness Zone you're in so it's hard to choose which perennials will survive where you live.
Reply:How about some Lavenders, blue salvias, phlox and cone flower? I love them. I think these flowers will add interesting shape to your collections.
Reply:Try Seashell Cosmos(light and dark pinks) and if you want a perennial, go for a Lilac tree, it will balance out the color scheme. Zinnias are good for height, they grow to 2-4ft in height, and work well for backgrounds.
