Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is a rich, warm shade of brown that exudes both luxury and approachability. It pairs seamlessly with other neutral tones like ivory, nude, and cream, creating a palette that feels effortlessly sophisticated. This announcement took me back to a Book Tower styled shoot I worked on in early 2024, where the floral designs by Sweetpeas embraced this exact spectrum of hues.

The shoot was all about layering tones and textures to achieve depth without overwhelming the design. Mocha Mousse, with its earthy yet refined vibe, offers the perfect opportunity to do just that. We incorporated lush blooms in creamy whites and soft nudes alongside subtle accents of toffee and brown, striking a balance between modern elegance and timeless warmth. The result was a breathtaking setup that captured the essence of understated beauty.

Incorporating Mocha Mousse into wedding or event designs isn’t just about the florals—it’s about curating a cohesive atmosphere. Think soft candlelight reflecting off bronze accents, table linens in muted mocha, and stationery with earthy undertones. It’s the kind of color that brings people together, making a space feel inviting while maintaining a sense of sophistication.

What I love about this shade is its versatility. It can lean modern or rustic, luxurious or minimalist, depending on how it’s paired. Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy, intimate celebration or a grand, lavish affair, Mocha Mousse provides a grounded yet elegant foundation for your event’s design.

For couples looking to embrace this trend, start with your florals and build from there—neutral blooms, textured arrangements, and thoughtful details can effortlessly bring this palette to life. Mocha Mousse is more than a color; it’s a mood, and I can’t wait to see how it inspires future designs.
