How to complete the palette 🎨
There’s more than one way to go about this trend! Here are some dreamy, creamy, mocha-inspired palettes to use:
☕️ Espresso
Cool, classy, simple - all the things that epitomize a chic bride. This palette leans on deep brown paired with crisp ivory, gray marble, or stark white. It’s sophisticated and minimal, perfect for black-tie celebrations that want warmth without losing formality.
🍂Cinnamon Latte
Warm and a little spicy, this palette layers soft latte tones with warm terracotta, cinnamon, and honey accents. It’s ideal for autumn weddings or anyone drawn to a more rustic-elegant vibe — cozy but still polished.
🍶Creamy Mocha
Soft, romantic, and dreamily understated. Think layers of cappuccino foam, beige roses, and gauzy ivory textiles. Perfect for the couple who wants an intimate, romantic ceremony.
🫘 Coffee Roasts
Earthy and eclectic — a blend of light roast tan, medium roast caramel, and deep roast chocolate. This is a playful, textural approach that loves mixing materials: wood and glass, linen and leather. Perfect for couples who want a little character and depth in their palette.
🍫Chocolate
Rich, bold, and a little bit decadent. This palette highlights deep cocoa and dark chocolate tones, accented with creamy whites. It’s perfect for evening weddings and glamorous, candlelit receptions that feel indulgent yet timeless.
