7 Ways to Use Pantone’s Color of the Year in Your 2025 Wedding

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or just like, off the ‘gram), you know that Pantone’s Color of the Year was recently announced, and the internet is obsessed. Here are seven ways to incorporate the chocolatey, coffee-inspired 2025 Pantone Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse into your wedding! 

1. Bridesmaid Dresses 

Bridesmaid dresses are one sure-fire way to include Pantone’s Color of the Year into your big day. Mix it up or go monotone with David’s Bridal shades Latte (new!), Chocolate (new, too!), Champagne (you got it—new!), and Sand (and the latest pattern, Sand Floral), for a Mocha Mousse-match.

Once your ladies are settled, don’t forget about the groomsmen! Find them a shade-sure match to Pantone’s Color of the Year with accessories, vests, and even their full tuxedo look from The Black Tux

3. Glam 

For a more subtle nod to Pantone’s color of the year, a makeup look in shades of brown (ahem, Mocha), or trending espresso-martini inspired manis will do the trick (you read our mind, Vogue!).  

Brides already compiled the perfect Mocha Mousse makeup list (along with other amazing inspo), and it definitely does not disappoint!

6: Invitations

7. Décor 

Last but most certainly not least, set the Mocha mood with your wedding décor. Muted, moody browns make for perfect table linens, florals and more. Add a few Pantone pops or go all-in with beautiful browns abound. 

Play with textures like silks and organic linens to really make the colors feel homey.

Mocha Mousse 🤎 We have been dreaming of browns for all of 2024 and Pantone’s announcement of the 2025 color of year has our dreams coming true! Be sure and save this for your 2025 wedding moodboard. 🤩 The deepness of a brown brings a rich, earthy tone to the elegance of the day. We envision it being incorporated into so many elements of the wedding day. Here are some ideas: ⬇️⬇️ 🤎 Dress your wedding party in this color and pair it with black for a very classy feel. 🤎 Add depth into your floral design. 🤎 Set the tone for your day with brown elements in your invitation suite. 🤎 Add smaller touches with your linens or tablescape. 🤎 Make a statement with a dark wooden bar or moody drapery hung throughout. 🤎 And of course, one of our favorites, style a lounge area with rich brown furniture for your guests to gather at. 🤎 Oh, and expect for espresso martinis to keep having their moment. We can’t wait to design with this color! *Pictures used solely for inspiration purposes.*
