2025 brides, get ready to fall head over heels in love with shades that will steal your hearts and are destined to light up your love story.
1. Dusty Pink
Soft, sultry, and effortlessly chic, Dusty Pink feels like a present sealed with a blush-hued kiss.
This muted blush shade brings old-world charm into modern celebrations, blending beautifully with neutrals, deep greens, or shimmering metallics. It’s the perfect pick for brides craving delicate details, feminine energy, and a vintage vibe–all without venturing into overly sweet territory.
Swoon-worthy tip: Pair dusty pink with antique gold accents and lush greenery for a garden-party-meets-modern-ballroom mood.
2. Toasted Terracotta
Earthy, bold, and rich with soul, Toasted Terracotta is 2025’s answer to brides craving artisanal authenticity.
Inspired by sun-drenched Tuscan villas and textured Mediterranean design, this hue brings warmth and depth to your big day. Think wedding floral arrangements filled with burnt oranges, ochres, and muted mustards, layered over linen textures and sunlit tablescapes.
Swoon-worthy tip: Toasted terracotta pairs beautifully with creamy neutrals, bronze accents, and greenery for a relaxed yet elevated look.
3. Green Lush
Nature’s most regal shade is having a major moment, and we are here for it. Green Lush is a botanical dream realized with fresh energy and a sense of grounding luxury to any wedding.
Imagine cascading foliage installations, lush tablescapes, botanical stationery, and floral designs that feel like stepping into an enchanted garden.
Swoon-worthy tip: Layer multiple shades of green (sage, emerald, olive) for a tonal, textural feast that feels chic, abundant, and wildly romantic.
4. Cherry Red
Make way for drama, darling. Cherry Red is roaring back onto the wedding scene, and she’s not here to whisper.
Symbolic of passion, love, and power, Cherry Red adds bold glamour to your wedding palette, whether through statement florals, a daring lip, dramatic bridesmaid dresses, or a jaw-dropping reception entrance.
Swoon-worthy tip: Keep the rest of your palette soft (think blush, ivory, or taupe) to let Cherry Red sing as the star of the show.
5. Touch of Gold
If 2025 had a signature shine, it would be Touch of Gold. Not a wedding color so much as a mood, gold threads through weddings like magic, elevating every detail it touches.
From gilded invitations and golden cutlery to metallic embroidery on gowns and glimmering tablescapes, gold lends timeless sophistication without overpowering.
Swoon-worthy tip: “Mixing gold and silver is a beautiful way of expressing color and looks stunning if done correctly,” shares Raj Somaiya, CEO, Silverfox Events. “Sheetal, my wife and creative director, used silver mirrors and silver couture fabrics on the back wall (in the first two images below). It’s all in the details.”
6. Mocha Brown
Yes, brown is back! And in 2025, it’s strutting down the aisle with quiet confidence and couture flair. Once considered a background neutral, Mocha Brown is a statement shade for modern weddings, exuding a grounded kind of luxury that’s earthy, elegant, and endlessly versatile.
Think rich chocolates and warm coffee hues woven through everything from bridesmaid dresses and velvet ribbons to layered linens, and tonal tablescapes. This shade whispers sophistication (without trying too hard).
As spotlighted in Pinterest’s 2025 Wedding Trends Report, couples are turning to brown to balance softness with structure, adding depth and texture to their design without losing warmth. It’s cozy and chic, familiar and fashion-forward.
Swoon-worthy tip: Pair Mocha brown with warm neutrals, amber glass, soft blush, or even hints of gold for a palette that feels timeless and editorial.
