Matching exactly or along the same lines?
I see (fondant) wavy squares of alternating color going around the sheet cake and the colorful (fondant) flowers and butterflies on top.
What do you see?
either paint squares or cut out individual squares for your back ground and then do flowers that are similar to the ones on the invite. I would just keep it simple.
I would go with a solid background maybe in the pink or purple and then accent with fondant flowers, etc. in the other colors.
I agree with the solid color, especially if they're going to have a tablecloth with that pattern.
I see...picking one color for the fondant. Adding flowers and butterflies in another. Maybe adding squares along the side like this picture by MellyD (which is totally cute).

Also...adding a big 1 in the middle? But now sure how I should do the flowers/butterflies

Are you talking about the squares around the edge and then different color on top? Using 2 different colors of fondant? How would you make the squares stick together? And get the 2 toned fondant together??
Here is a basic idea. I am not that great with working at the paint program but you get the idea. For the bottom, just because of my skills, i would cut a strip of fondant that matches the cake to be about an inch or so and then adhere colored fondant squares to it. Then use a pizza cutter or other knife to cut the tops to give that non-straight line effect. Does that make sense? You could probably do it by just lining up squares in a row but to be sure they all stayed in place I would put them all on a piece of fondant. Also I would do gumpaste or fondant letters to spell out her name on top. I also had a problem with white flowers but I would definitly put a few white flowers on there to tone down the colors.
