Any picture is going to be a long way off. I'm doing ridiculously advanced planning in that the couple isn't actually engaged at this point, but I'm pretty sure they're going to get there or move in together soon-ish and I want to be prepared because I am not fast. I like the silver/white/grey idea, though they have dogs so I might go more silver/light grey/dark grey.

This is a Labyrinth quilt I made for BFF's daughter's wedding last summer. Mine happens to be ginormous but you could certainly make something smaller and it's surprisingly easy too.

My cousin indicated they'd much rather have a couple of lap size quilts (his and hers) for watching TV during the cold winters in Indiana, as a wedding gift. So I made each of them a generous sized lap quilt in their family room colors (gray and white). I used a simple triple rail pattern for each. They were a big hit. And I made their dog his own TV quilt with the scraps!

When my youngest daughter married I made a lap size quilt that had flowers native to Hawai'i, since this is where they live. In the outer borders I quilted their initials, the name of the location where they were married, the hotel where their reception was held, the date of their engagement and wedding. I also quilted in the border the Chilli's logo since that was where they met. Here's a picture of the logo.

I thought this was an awesome wedding quilt. The illusion of curves hearkens to the DWR but there is no curved piecing.

I have made a few wedding quilts over the years. I had started using my monogramming mode on my machine to write to appropriate info on the binding. The one that became the 'greatest hit' ended up having all the info on one edge and various newlywed appropriate sayings on the others. The saying that I still thing most appropriate was "The greatest gift one can give to another costs nothing. It is called Love".
You have been given a lot of good advice here. I do really like the idea of two semi-matching throws.
