Cozy Chic: The Perfect Neutral with Personality
Palette: Brushed Ivory (#c5bbac), Kentucky Clay (#8a695f), Heritage Rust (#9c4221), Southern Fern (#434b32), Tobacco Road (#9c4221)
This elevated neutral palette is anything but boring. Cozy Chic blends creamy ivory with earthy tones, giving you sophistication without the stuffiness. It feels warm, natural, and incredibly photogenic.
Why couples love it: It’s the ultimate alternative to stark black-and-white. These muted shades wrap your celebration in warmth, making guests feel instantly at home. Best part? This palette works year-round, so your décor, flowers, and attire will always feel in season.
How to use it: Let Brushed Ivory set the stage through linens and invitations. Add warmth with Kentucky Clay and Heritage Rust in bridesmaid dresses or reception accents. Southern Fern shines in your florals, while Tobacco Road adds depth in table runners, signage, or groomsmen details. The overall look is timeless and welcoming.
Mocha Mousse: Riding the Pantone Wave
Palette: Morning Cream (#ddcbba), Café au Lait (#907e6f), Mocha Mousse (#a47864, Pantone Color of the Year 2025), Bourbon Caramel (#634336), Dark Roast (#3b2e24)
Mocha Mousse is rich, indulgent, and trending everywhere thanks to Pantone’s 2025 pick. Think of this palette as your wedding-day latte—creamy, cozy, and layered with depth.
Why couples love it: After years of airy pastels, couples are craving warmth. These tones create a luxurious, inviting vibe that pairs beautifully with both silver and gold metallics, giving you endless styling flexibility.
How to use it: Anchor your design with Morning Cream and Café au Lait for stationery, backdrops, and linens. Spotlight Mocha Mousse in bridesmaid gowns or floral highlights. Bourbon Caramel adds richness to arrangements and décor, while Dark Roast delivers drama—perfect for groomsmen accessories, velvet table runners, or candle-lit accents. Bonus: this palette looks stunning against wood tones and natural greenery.
Autumn Harvest: Bringing the Season Indoors
Palette: Holler Fog (#fcdbc3), Golden Wheat (#e2b65d), Honey Barrel (#b77d37), County Backwoods (#3a412b), Colonial Brick (#9d3926)
This is autumn, bottled. Autumn Harvest brings together soft neutrals, golden warmth, and bold earthy accents to create the most romantic seasonal backdrop.
Why couples love it: These colors echo the changing leaves and glowing sunsets of fall, without feeling too rustic or overwhelming. They’re bold, warm, and perfect for cozy yet elegant weddings.
How to use it: Use Holler Fog as your soft foundation in invitations or delicate floral touches. Layer Golden Wheat in table linens or bouquets for brightness. Honey Barrel works beautifully for bridesmaid dresses, while County Backwoods provides grounding greens. Let Colonial Brick be your statement—show it off in signage, bold florals, or even velvet lounge furniture. The result? A celebration that feels like the best autumn day.
Hunter & Copper: Bold Meets Beautiful
Palette: Magnolia Blush (#d6c0bc), Peach Bellini (#cc7448), Copper Still (#943c27), Minted Sage (#6f8678), Hunter Green (#2a3f32)
For couples who want a showstopper, Hunter & Copper delivers. With lush greens and metallic copper tones, this palette is bold, editorial, and effortlessly elegant.
Why couples love it: It stands out. While many couples lean toward navy or blush, this combination feels unique and sophisticated. Plus, it looks incredible in outdoor weddings surrounded by natural greenery or inside dramatic reception spaces.
How to use it: Magnolia Blush creates a romantic base, while Peach Bellini adds playful warmth. Bring in Copper Still through metallic accents, statement florals, or cocktail details.
