I have a super neat pattern for this, if you want to pm me and I can email it to you. Here is a pic of the quilt that was made for me using this pattern. Actually, I have it upside down on the bed, but you can get the idea.
I am in the process of making one myself

I too believe, this being a wedding quilt, that white should dominate the quilt. If additional blocks are needed, use plain white or a white tone-on-tone with a feathered heart quilt motif slightly smaller than the embroidered hearts. Smaller will not detract from the beautiful embroidery work.

I would use plain fabric (same as the background of the embroidered blocks) as alternate blocks. Quilt them with motifs the same as the embroidered blocks. A wedding quilt is so impressive when it's all white.

The squares are very pretty...can't wait to see what you do with it.
