Having lived through the 60's what came to mind was a Mandala. I just did a google search and found a quilt that looks like it has potential

My friend, Kim married my husband's brother. The only one in the wedding party who didn't have hair long enough for a ponytail was my father in law! It was outside and she had flowers in her hair and she was wearing a '70's dress with little daisies embroidered all over it. It looked great with her red hair. It was a beautiful wedding!

he is a very free-spirit, very artsy-fartsy... a "playful" personality, has always been a dreamer...
she is very fun-loving, but a hard-worker, very level-headed but open minded.
They are college sweethearts, been together for about 5 years or a little more.
His fave color is crimson
Her fave color is purple
Have: deep purple tie-dye & black kona
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

lots of great ideas ~ I am letting my mind "chew on it" while I am gearing up to do his sister's butterfly hanky quilt (that wedding comes first). I love the mandala pattern, I could use that plus some other wonky flowers for applique in brighter 60's psychadelic colors. I found a pretty crimson with a neat print yesterday that I forgot I had, so I've set it aside for the quilt, and I found 8 purples so far in my stash that are set aside, too. The crimsons will be the hardest to find, I think I have to have swatches of all the purples first, then gather the reds.
I have a gorgeous tie-dye type deep purple, using that also on my Laurel Burch Flying Colors quilt (a WIP for awhile) ~ but I have at least a few yards of it I can use for this quilt.
