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.
2. Coordinate the Guys
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!
4. Food & Bev
Are you a more literal person? Consider a Pantone Color of the Year-inspired cake! Another hot 2025 wedding trend? An espresso martini tower (yes, please!).
5. Bridal Bouquets
Why not add a little chocolate-chic to your bridal or bridesmaid bouquets?
6: Invitations
Your invitation suite is the perfect introduction to your cocoa color palette inspired by Pantone’s Color of the Year!
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.
