Here's what I have to work with:
1 580exii
2 430exii
2 40" softboxes
1 offwhite umbrella
1 silver umbrella
3 umbrella holders and stands
One of those 8-in-1 or whatever they were kits designed for the flash. Comes with beauty dish, softbox with a bunch of different colors, snoot, grid, globe
4 cactus v5
white or black backdrop

I'm going to shoot the fiance tonight. So far I've got the 430's in the softboxes on each side, and I'm going to play with the 580 and the different modifiers. Maybe try it with a grid as a hair light, or the softbox and the different colors...

I've been searching forums/strobist sites/pdf books trying to soak up as much info as I can, but if you have any creative ideas I could use I'm all ears.

I started with the 430's in the softbox umbrellas, and then took one out and put a grid on it to try and use it as a kicker or hair light. I used the softbox for fill and used a small softbox on the 580 as the main light. I shot some with the softbox behind her as well.

I'll post some pics over in people once I get them all edited.
