INCORPORATING PEACH FUZZ INTO WEDDING DESIGN – PANTONE’S 2024 COLOR OF THE YEAR

Every December, the Pantone Color Institute releases its highly anticipated Color of the Year for the coming calendar year. In 2024, that color is the warm and comforting “Peach Fuzz”! Peach Fuzz is a romantic hue perfect for elevated wedding celebrations. There are many ways to incorporate the shade into your wedding design, from invitations to table linens and even bridal accessories! Let’s explore how you can integrate this color into your event.

INVITATIONS AND STATIONERY

Give your guests their first glimpse into your event with Peach Fuzz-infused wedding invitations! Since Peach Fuzz is a warm and gentle hue, it looks best paired with complementary shades like ivory and gold to create an invitation suite that takes to a modern elegance. Additionally, consider incorporating delicate floral patterns into your suite to enhance the romantic color palette. ​For a bold touch that is still refined, you can also add a glam metallic accent in copper or rose gold to complement the warmth of the peach.

FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS

Peach Fuzz is the symbol of romance, so embrace it with lush floral arrangements: Juliet Garden Roses, Peach Ranunculus, Brown Toffee Roses, and Cafe Au Lait Dahlias. These flowers look stunning when integrated with greenery to add contrast. It’s a classic palette perfect for any spring or summer wedding! You can even incorporate Peach Fuzz into your fall wedding flowers when paired with deeper hues like toffee brown, or burgundy.

TABLESCAPES AND DÉCOR

Elevate the ambiance of your reception with Peach Fuzz details like table linens, candles. For a luxurious touch, add metallic accents in copper, gold, or silver (consider tying in the design on your wedding invitations!). We love to do this with gilded cutlery and crystal glassware to give your celebration an opulent feel.

BRIDAL FASHION

If you’re a bride who likes to mix classic style with contemporary touches, you can easily incorporate Peach Fuzz into your bridal ensemble. Consider a soft blush gown, putting a modern twist on the traditional white dress. Or, think about peach accessories, like shoes, jewelry, or a belt. ​You can also incorporate the Color of the Year into your wedding party! For example, some members can wear dresses in shades of blush, while others can exhibit boutonnières in coordinating hues.

CAKE AND DESSERTS

Your wedding cake is another detail where you can incorporate Peach Fuzz. Ask your cake artist to add delicate, peach-colored florals or create a subtle ombré effect with a white-to-peach frosted design. ​Are you thinking of having a specialty drink at your reception? An Aperol spritz is a fun way to tie in the peach color palette while giving your celebration an Italian touch!

LIGHTING AND ATMOSPHERE

Set the mood at your reception with peach-toned lighting! The softness and warmth of the shade will create an intimate, romantic atmosphere. Consider candles, fairy lights, or lanterns in the color to enhance your venue. 

In 2024, couples can easily incorporate Peach Fuzz, Pantone’s Color of the Year, into their weddings. This color fits right in with all the styles of a wedding, so don’t be afraid to embrace it! Whether you go bold with a peach-toned wedding dress or incorporate a peach accent here and there into your invitation suite and tablescapes, you can’t go wrong with this classic shade.

However, remember that for a wedding to truly align with what you have in mind and for this rather delicate color to be the perfect theme for your day, you should consider always relying on a wedding planner, who with their professionalism and experience will advise you on how to create an elegant atmosphere without overdoing it!
