One of the most important parts of wedding planning to some many couples – the aesthetic! When it comes to choosing your wedding colour palette, it can sometimes feel like an overwhelming decision. You log into Pinterest and see a crazy number of different ideas, and keep changing your mind – sound familiar?! The colours you select set the tone for your entire celebration, influencing everything from décor to attire and even floral arrangements.
For 2025, Pantone has named Mocha Mousse as its Colour of the Year — a rich, warm brown that brings sophistication, comfort, and versatility, and I am absolutely loving it! There are so many ways you can use it! Whether your wedding is modern, rustic, or vintage-inspired, this hue has something to offer. I mean, guys, Mrs Hinch grey is so out now! Today, I’m sharing ten wedding colour scheme ideas featuring Mocha Mousse to inspire your planning journey.
1. Mocha Mousse and Blush Pink: Romantic and lush
Blush pink has been a popular colour palette for many years now. It is a timeless colour! So let’s bring it into 2025. Imagine pairing Mocha Mousse with soft blush pinks for a romantic and modern look.

This combination brings warmth and softness to your wedding day, perfect for spring or summer celebrations.

2. Mocha Mousse and Sage Green: timeless and chic
Another timeless colour that has been popular for years – sage green! Sage green was about in wedding palettes before people evening started thinking about forest and olive greens at weddings! If you’re envisioning an outdoor wedding or one with a nature-inspired vibe, look no further than Mocha Mousse and sage green. These earthy tones complement each other beautifully, creating a serene and grounded aesthetic. Think eucalyptus garlands, sage-green bridesmaid dresses, and a touch of mocha elements that enhance the palette, and give sage green a new lease of life.

3. Mocha Mousse and Burnt Orange: Autumnal and warm
For an autumn wedding that feels warm and inviting, combine Mocha Mousse with burnt orange. This duo creates a bold yet harmonious palette that’s perfect for rustic barns or outdoor venues. Burnt orangery really started to make its way into the wedding scene a few years back, when barn venues became particularly popular, and we absolutely love it! Team is with rustic wooden tables and chairs, and this colour palette will look incredible!

4. Mocha Mousse and Burgundy: Luxe and Dramatic
Burgundy is the perfect partner for Mocha Mousse if you’re dreaming of a wedding full of depth and sophistication. The richness of these hues works beautifully in formal settings, such as stately homes and castle wedding venues. Burgundy is another timeless classic, and looks particularly beautiful in winter months. Think deep burgundy roses, mocha table runners, and gold accents for an opulent finish.

5. Mocha Mousse and Champagne Beige: Understated and glamourous
For a minimalist yet luxurious wedding colour palette, pair Pantone’s colour of the year 2025 Mocha Mousse with champagne beige. This neutral duo creates a clean and sophisticated look, perfect for modern weddings. Use champagne for bridesmaid dresses and Mocha Mousse for statement floral pieces and in your linen. For your metallics, add a champagne gold. White/gold stemmed cutlery would match this tablespace incredibly well.

6. Mocha Mousse and Coral: Bold and Beautiful
For couples who love a pop of colour, coral can elevate mocha mousse to create a lively and dynamic palette. Coral florals, paired with mocha linens and decor, bring energy and vibrancy to the celebration. This combination works especially well for summer weddings with outdoor receptions. Coral is so versatile, and you can get such a beautiful array of flowers in this colour. Also pairs beautifully with peach. Add a touch of class with your gold cutlery and gold rimmed glasses, and you’re away!
