Mocha - Color of the Year

Being the wedding business since the early 2000’s, I see all different color trends in the bridal industry.  Each one gives a unique flare for the year.  This year, Pantone announces its Color of the Year, and this time, all eyes are on the rich, earthy tone of Mocha. A grounded yet elegant shade, Mocha is a beautiful blend of warm browns and soft neutrals, making it an ideal choice for weddings.  These earthy tones are especially fitting at a barn venue like Montagu Meadows in Carroll County, MD where everyone is surrounded by natural beauty.

 

Here’s why Mocha should play a starring role in your barn wedding in Maryland or Pennsylvania:

1. A Natural Match for Rustic Charm

Mocha mirrors the natural tones of wood, stone, and earth that define a barn venue. Its warm undertones blend seamlessly with the rustic beams and sprawling fields of Montagu Meadows, creating a unified palette. Whether used in bridesmaid dresses, table settings, or florals, Mocha enhances the natural beauty of the space without overwhelming it.  At Montagu Meadows, our farmhouse tables are a dark version of Mocha.  These tables stand out with the light color draping and the chandeliers with the twinkle lights.

 

2. Versatile and Elegant

Mocha is a color that complements nearly any palette. Pair it with soft blush, champaign and sage for a romantic vibe, or add accents of gold and cream for timeless elegance. For fall weddings, Mocha beautifully complements warm hues like burnt orange, mustard, navy blue and deep burgundy. Its understated sophistication allows it to shine as both a primary color and an accent tone.  This accent ton compliments the sage green barn at Montagu Meadows, a wedding venue located in Carroll

3. Perfect for Any Season

Mocha’s versatility means it works year-round. In spring and summer, a light color Mocha creates a sense of warmth and lightness, while in fall and winter, it brings cozy, grounding energy to your decor. At Montagu Meadows, Mocha can enhance everything from outdoor ceremonies under the open sky to indoor receptions surrounded by rustic barn charm.

 

4. Endless Ways to Incorporate Mocha

Here are some creative ways to weave Mocha into your wedding at Montagu Meadows:

                •              Attire: Dress your bridal party in Mocha-inspired gowns or ties for a cohesive and modern look.  There are various shades of Mocha from dark to light.

                •              Florals: Incorporate dried foliage, pampas grass, and blooms in warm brown tones into your bouquets and centerpieces and then add a touch of color.

                •              Decor: Use Mocha for table linens, napkins, or place settings. Rustic wooden signs and candleholders also tie the shade into your decor.
