How to include Peach Fuzz (Pantone’s Color of the Year) in your wedding

We’re always here for a colour forecast, especially when the Pantone Color Institute makes its annual call. Their highly anticipated picks tend to pop up everywhere, from lipsticks and bed linen to wedding bouquets.

So, what’s the new hue on the horizon? It’s Peach Fuzz! Pantone GM Elley Cheng describes the tone as “nestled between pink and orange. Poetic and romantic, a clean peach tone with a vintage vibe.” The good news for couples planning a 2024 wedding is the versatility of this soft shade — much like 2023’s Veri Peri (a periwinkle blue) is an easy sell for your wedding aesthetic.

If you’re wondering what to pair with peach, we love it as an accent with white (so fresh for a beach wedding), sage (natural and earthy) or grey (edgy and chic). In a bouquet, pinks and peaches work a treat or try a hint of baby-blue or lavender. You could also go deeper and match peach with teal for a bold look.

Here are some of our favourite peach-perfect wedding ideas to get those creative juices flowing. Be sure to chat with your florist/MUA/stylist/planner/cake maker for plenty more.
