no idea on quilting suggestions ....but would suggest something very subtle as to not take away from the design. It's breathtaking - the colors are awesome!

I would think you should do waves and then some fishes or something if you can. That would look really cool!!!

This is really up my alley - love this quilt - the colors are wonderful. I think just an easy stipple would work - the quilt colors and design will be front and center - the quilting will just be in the background and just keeping it all together. Beautiful quilt.

I'm not going to pretend to be knowledgeable enough to suggest quilt patterns. Seeing how I usually meander. Definitely do NOT meander.

Seeing how you normally hand quilt, and this is for your own daughter's wedding. I would imagine what ever quilting you do, should be extra, extra special.

Beautiful quilt. You did a great job. Maybe some curls that resemble ocean waves? You could also so some long back and forth stitching that would resemble water.
