@ren.b There are so many different hardy geraniums for different soils,aspects and heights. All are easy to grow. Whites pinks and purples all would work with your colour scheme. If you do opt for this idea you need not worry about the leaves. Most of the tall Alliums will have decaying leaves by the time they flower.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
They don't fall over ren.b,. They can be left in the garden or cut back at base, bunched up, and tied upside down somewhere dry to finish drying for use in the house for decorations either as they are or spray paint them.
As @Uff says - alliums are pretty sturdy so the stem, and the head, both stay in place after the flowering period is over. Many people like to leave them in situ. I don't find them very attractive so I rarely leave them for very long.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
