O! How I long for a tartan waistcoat!

I would bin the flashes (they look cheap) and go with proper garters-- green or yellow would be my choice.
I like your sporran choices, although I'd advise spending a bit extra for a silver plated cantle rather than going with pewter or chrome plate. You might also consider a full-mask muskrat sporran which is appropriate for all levels of dress, day or evening (well, all levels of dress except white tie!).
All in all, it's a great ensemble!
