The 2025 Pantone Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is a rich, earthy hue that exudes warmth, sophistication, and timeless elegance. Perfect for weddings, this chocolatey tone opens up endless possibilities for creating a unique, heartfelt aesthetic. At Yarrow & Spruce, we’re excited to help you integrate this gorgeous color into your wedding design. From locally grown florals to décor accents, we’re sharing our favorite ways to embrace Mocha Mousse for your big day.

Locally Grown Flowers in Colorado to Complement Mocha Mousse

While truly brown flowers are rare, there’s no shortage of blooms that offer the beautifully muddy hues that complement Mocha Mousse. Sourcing locally grown flowers is one of our core values, and Colorado provides a stunning variety of options.

Lisianthus: A perennial favorite at Yarrow & Spruce, lisianthus comes in a range of shades that harmonize beautifully with Mocha Mousse. Varieties like Roseanne Brown, Terracotta, Chateau, and Pucchino blend perfectly with the color’s chocolatey notes. Not only are these blooms visually stunning, but they’re also remarkably resilient, thriving even in Colorado’s dry, intense heat. We love incorporating lisianthus into bouquets, installations, and centerpieces for their versatility and reliability.

Phlox: One of our favorite phlox varieties is Crème Brûlée. While its color leans more creamy and buttery, it’s a lovely addition to a palette for those seeking the overall appeal of Mocha Mousse. Its soft tones provide a beautiful contrast and enhance the richness of chocolatey hues.

Rudbeckia: Another fabulous choice is rudbeckia, which brings a brighter dimension to palettes inspired by Mocha Mousse. With yellow undertones, varieties like Sahara Rudbeckia add depth and warmth, creating a vibrant yet grounded aesthetic.

Less Common Varieties: For couples seeking something unique, consider locally grown blooms like baptisia, nicotiana, salpiglossis, and select iris varieties. These flowers can bring rare and striking brown tones to your arrangements, adding a touch of exclusivity.

Foliages and Textures: When brown blooms aren’t available, foliages and textured accents can step in to carry the Mocha Mousse vibe. Ninebark foliage offers earthy tones that pair wonderfully with this color. For texture, we love moody grasses like jewels of opar, Cheyenne grass, or buff oats, which subtly echo the undertones of Mocha Mousse.

Bringing Mocha Mousse Beyond Flowers

Mocha Mousse isn’t just for florals—there are endless ways to weave this color into your wedding design. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

Table Settings: Elevate your reception tables with thoughtful details like the Mocha Ribbed glassware collection from Bespoke byBello or the Nordic Mocha table linen from BBJ La Tavola. Pair these with the Nivo plate setting collection from Colorado Party Rentals for a cohesive, sophisticated look.

Lounge Areas: Create inviting lounge spaces with furniture that embodies the warmth of Mocha Mousse. For a masculine touch, the Stanhope Chocolate Leather Sofa from Eclectic Hive is a stunning choice. For a softer, more feminine vibe, we adore the Philippe Grey Silk Loveseat.

Additional Details: Don’t forget about smaller accents! Cocoa-toned candles, velvet ribbons, and stationery elements can all contribute to the Mocha Mousse theme. Some of our favorite earthy-toned taper candles are from Camilla Supply. The colors are soft and natural, and they burn beautifully. For stationery, we’re big fans of the bespoke creations by Montana Paper Co.
