As I sit at my office, sipping a hot cup of peppermint mocha, I cannot help but wonder if my wedding trend intuition might have called it a few months ago when I wrote about Cafecore. Then Pantone announced the color of the year: Mocha Mousse!
This rich, warm brown tone exudes the perfect base color with which to explore your creativity as a bride. As the VP of Pantone, Laurie Pressman, expresses, “For Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.” Couples today want their weddings to be about simple pleasures, creating memories with loved ones, and ultimately creating a sensory experience for all. What better way to make that than by incorporating Mocha Mousse into your big day?
With a color like Mocha Mousse, you can pull in an elevated look by keeping your accent colors within the family, making it a play on browns, beiges, and cream colors. Navy blues and dark forest greens with the Mocha Mousse as an accent color allow you to subtly incorporate the year's color more. If you are a coffee fanatic like us go all out with this color and incorporate the Cafecore look into your big day (i.e. https://www.eleganteveningevents.com/post/what-is-café-core-and-why-do-we-have-our-eye-on-it-as-the-fall-2024-wedding-trend).
This luxurious color looks gorgeous in materials such as satin, georgette, silk, or organza. Picture your bridesmaids in beautiful satin dresses the color of Mocha Mousse, a bouquet of cascading ocean breeze orchids. Silk ties for your groomsmen, even a play in Mocha suits for them, velvet runners on your table, just a sensory feast of textures. With this color, texture it up!
If you want to incorporate this even further into your wedding, partner with a local chocolatier and have a chocolate mousse bar or give your guests a hot chocolate bomb as a party favor. Have your cake have coffee, chocolate, and mocha flavors incorporated! Talk to your favorite bartender about ways to have a specialty drink that is mocha mousse inspired.
