They are college sweethearts, been together for about 5 years or a little more.
His fave color is crimson
Her fave color is purple

will be shopping for the crimsons shortly (will keep eyes open for purples and crimsons in large flower-power prints or peace signs in those colors)
No, no one is going to be lighting up... basically, the wedding is out in a nature setting, and its pretty casual, "come as you are" deal
You could do "covergence quilt" type blocks and some simple solid blocks in a pattern that pleases you and then applique bright flowers and "words" that describe them as a couple. Or a couple hand written poems from each of them to the other copied to fabric and appliqued to the quilt. Random and free spirited placement of accents
