How to Use Mocha Mousse (Pantone Color of the Year) in Your 2025 Wedding

Hello Loves,
New year, new Pantone color! Mocha Mousse is Pantone's Color of The Year for 2025, and I'm obsessed. As a neutral hue, this color is extremely versatile and pairs well with others. From makeup to tablescapes, I believe we'll be seeing this one all over the wedding scene. Read on to learn how I'd incorporate the color and how you can use it for your wedding day. 

Floral Pairings:
Mocha Mousse is a neutral color perfect for floral arrangements. In addition to foliage and filler, there are plenty of flower options in similar shades. Roses are amongst the most accessible and come in a variety of natural colors in the Mocha Mousse family. Quicksand, Sahara, Moab, Toffee, and Amnesia are some of my favorites. I would embrace the current trends and incorporate bold colors into the arrangements. This will make your floral designs feel more fresh and modern. Check the swatch palettes above for some sample pairings.

Beauty Looks:
The versatility of Mocha Mousse is evident in the world of beauty. From flawlessly barefaced to bold, sultry looks, there are many ways to incorporate this color.  My tip here is to choose the look that makes you feel most confident. Work with your MUA to create at least 2 different looks. One look should be a more professional version of what you're used to. The second should push you out of your comfort zone a bit. Sit with both looks and see how each one makes you feel.

Tablescapes & Furnishings:
In addition to the wedding florals, furnishings and rentals are a great way to showcase color. Since Mocha Mousse is a neutral color, rentals are easily accessible and provide a warm background that accentuates varying styles. I would incorporate a mix of materials in Mocha Mousse, from glass and ceramics to velvet and leather. The variety of textures will provide depth and add visual interest to the event space.

Bridal Fashions:
One of the most simple yet impactful ways to introduce Mocha Mousse is in the wedding wardrobe. The bridal party is on full display during the ceremony and the reception, so choose shades in the Mocha Mousse family that complement your skin tones. For a fresh look, have the groom/smen wear Mocha Mousse, a neutral color, and have the bridesmaids wear a bolder color. This selection will also go a long way in facilitating cost per wear.

Decadent Desserts:
Last but certainly not least, bring in some actual mocha treats. With desserts, it goes beyond the stunning color, you also get the amazing flavor. If mocha isn't your cup of cocoa, opt for salted caramel, dulce de leche, coffee creme, etc. I would incorporate multiple flavors by having a dessert bar instead of just a wedding cake. I love the idea of guests having a variety of goodies to sample and indulge. You can include options like macarons, cheesecakes, pastries, cookies, and mocha mousse, of course!

I really enjoyed creating this post. Seriously, how stunning is this color? I can't wait to see how couples will interpret this color trend!

Until Next Time,
