Keep reading for all the wedding inspo, and make sure to follow us on Instagram to stay up to date on all things bridal.

What is the Pantone Color of the Year 2024?

In case you’re feeling out of the loop, here’s a brief rundown: The Pantone Color Institute is a nifty organization centered on “global color expertise,” providing a range of services, branding programs, educational resources, and consultation in the bright and beautiful world of color theory. One of their hallmark marketing campaigns is their “Color of the Year,” a culmination of color studies related to various social, cultural, and political influences… Think fashion, marketing trends, social media, politics, and more.

Here’s a snippet from Pantone’s website:

“The Pantone Color Institute originally created the Pantone Color of the Year educational program in 1999 to engage the design community and color enthusiasts around the world in a conversation around color. We wanted to draw attention to the relationship between culture and color. We wanted to highlight to our audience how what is taking place in our global culture is expressed and reflected through the language of color. This thought process rings just as true today just as it did back in 1999. That’s one of the major reasons why, each year, so many around the world look forward to our Pantone Color of the Year announcement.”

Muted coral tones and warm pinks create a stunning and memorable aesthetic…. Here’s how Peach Fuzz can be used in bridal bouquet trends, including florals, accent colors, and coordination with archways and aisle decor:

Varieties of Florals that Look Gorgeous in Peach Fuzz

• Pastel Peonies and Roses: Peonies and roses in varying shades of peach, blush, and ivory can form the focal points of the bouquet. This creates a romantic and timeless look.
• Peach Ranunculus: These delicate, paper-thin petals add texture and depth to the bouquet. The visual appeal is chic, bohemian, and a little bit wild.
• Complementary Foliage: Soft greenery, such as eucalyptus, vines, or dusty miller, is a beautiful complement to Peach Fuzz. These create a subtle contrast and enhance the overall arrangement.

Wedding Parties in Peach Fuzz

The Pantone Color of the Year 2024 is easily incorporated into wedding attire for the groom (or if one or both of the brides are wearing suits or jumpsuits for their attire), as well as bridesmaid gowns and groomsmen’s suits — everything you need for a romantic and on-trend wedding party aesthetic. Here are ideas for integrating this soft and inviting hue into clothing:

Attire for the Groom

• Peach Fuzz Suit or Tuxedo: Opt for a groom’s suit or tuxedo in Peach Fuzz. This can be the main focal point of the groom’s attire, creating a stylish and contemporary look. Consider a peach-colored jacket paired with neutral pants for a modern twist.
• Accent Accessories: If a full Peach Fuzz suit feels too bold, incorporate the color through accessories. Choose a Peach Fuzz-colored tie, pocket square, or boutonniere to add a pop of color to a more traditional suit or tuxedo.
• Peach-Colored Shoes: Complete the look with a pair of shoes in a complementary peach shade, adding a subtle yet cohesive touch to the groom’s ensemble.

Coordinating Bride and Groom:

• Peach Fuzz lace in the bridal veil or wedding gown looks beautiful when paired with a groom’s accent color.
• A floral crown is also a gorgeous bridal accessory that coordinates effortlessly with other arrangements, accessories, and flourishes.

Additional Tips:

• Mix with Neutrals: Balance Peach Fuzz with neutral tones such as ivory, white, or light grey to create an elegant and sophisticated color palette.
• Consider Fabrics: Choose fabrics that complement the season and wedding style. Peach Fuzz works well in lightweight fabrics for spring and summer weddings and in richer fabrics for fall and winter celebrations.
