My son's favorite color is maroon and his wife's is blue. For their wedding quilt I used mainly maroon and a deep blue plus some other colors in a Love Knot pattern and called it "Compromise." Good title and good advice for newlyweds!

Maybe something like this would work! It has pink in it, but it doesn't look too girly.

Your quilt will be a lovely wedding gift for them.
PS: you could always make a personalized lap quilt for her in her favorite pinks for her birthday, just because or for a wedding shower present!
:-D

I made one with pastels and pinks all set in brown as a wedding quilt. In my case the guys said,"I am guy enough to sleep under a pink quilt." I asked her if I could add the brown because I was scared in the long run she would not like a girly quilt. the end resul was a shabby chic loook with some buttons and tieing in addition to the stipling all over.
My son is getting married this February, his fiancee loves pink too, he let it be known,"No way am I sleeping under a pink quilt." Their quilt will be a civil war reproduction quilt with Civil War Tribute fabric. I tried to put a lot of blues in as she likes those too.
What is her second color choice?
I know several young ladies that really like the pastels and the softer pink. You might want to be pretty sure about the colors and that both are agreeable to it.

At first I was thinking a black and white quilt. But I do not have enough of each. So I was thinking of The Quilt in a Day Triple Irish Chain ; and the basic color white and the chain scrapy.
