I like my 36" Softlighter for the fill. It give the nice round catch too. Use white reflectors to bounce more light from the back key lights onto the subject and to flag from coming back into the lens. I'd go something less than 1/1 on the power. Use wider f/stops it will help from having to power up you lights and the shallow depth of field with the high key will help with a dreamy look.
