In my first attempt at a recipe I want a medium bodied, lightly bittered, 6.5-7% abv, hop forward IPA. I'm looking for a bright, floral aroma and taste. Here's what I've come up with:

12lb 12oz pale malt
12 oz vienna
12 oz crystal 60

2 oz chinook 60 min
1 oz centennial 15 min
1 oz cascade flamout
1 oz centennial dry hop

mash at 152F

Am I going to get something close to what I'm hoping to get?
 
I wouldn't call 2oz of chinook @ 60 min lightly bittered. Also, if you want an aromatic and flavorful hop profile, I'd triple the amount of late and dry hops you're using.
 
Amarillo can be citrusy and flowery. Almost all of the English hops are earthy and flowery.
 
So maybe 1oz centennial at 60 minute and 1 oz Amarillo at 15 and 1oz amarillo dry hop will give me a better hop profile that I wanted?
