Move over, dusty rose and terracotta! 2024 is all about embracing a softer, sweeter hue: Peach Fuzz, the Pantone 2024 Color of the Year. An interesting switch from the cooler colors of the last few years, Pantone describes the velvety peach-pink shade as a hue whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul.
As Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute explained, “In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”
The feelings of warmth and intimacy associated with Peach Fuzz are perfect for creating weddings that are both romantic and utterly unforgettable. The hue is light enough for warmer months, yet adds a touch of warmth to cooler seasons. Peach Fuzz also blends effortlessly with a variety of styles; combine it with metallics for a classic look, or go bold and bright with pops of coral and orange for a vibrant fiesta.
As a wedding planner, I love finding ways to incorporate the latest color trends into celebrations to give them a modern, distinctive style and the Pantone Color of the Year is always an exciting chance to do just that. Peach Fuzz offers a delicate touch of color that can be worked into nuptial details beautifully.
Stationary and Invitations
Use Peach Fuzz as an accent color on your save-the-dates, invitations, programs and signage. For an opulent look, line Peach Fuzz colored envelopes with gold foil, or seal the envelope with a gold sticker or wax stamp. For a bolder, funkier vibe, mix Peach Fuzz with energetic colors like violet and chartreuse.

The Outfits
Soft silks and flowing chiffons in Peach Fuzz will create a dreamy, ethereal look for the bride and her bridesmaids, setting the perfect mood for romance. Groomsmen can sport peach socks, ties, or pocket squares. I also, really love this color for moms and kids in the wedding party.

The Florals
Florals are where I’m really excited to see this color take the spotlight because there are so many flowers that naturally appear peach in nature. It is perfect for any season and goes with any color palette! You can mix it with brights, neutrals, earthy tones or pastels — your imagination is the limit. Lean into the tones of peach blossoms, peonies, roses, and gardenias paired with elements like eucalyptus. Cluster them in vintage glass vases for a charming tablescape. You can even go for a sustainable option like wooden flowers dyed to peach.

Tablescapes
A soft pop of peach blossom with bright floral accents against a creamy white linen is dreamy and modern. Earthy peach blooms mixed with analogous reds, yellows, and oranges create the prefect bohemian garden theme. Or pair with a complementary navy blue and greens for a wonderful lake or beach theme. Flowers, linens, glassware, vintage plates — it’s all fair game to bring peach to your reception tables.
