PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz: A Velvety Hue Embracing Nurturing and Connection
After last year's bold and bright magenta, 2024 brings a welcome sigh of softness with Pantone's Colour of the Year: PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz. Described as a "velvety gentle peach," this hue promises to infuse weddings with warmth, tenderness, and a touch of modern elegance.

Why Peach Fuzz for Your Wedding Day?
As Pantone aptly puts it, Peach Fuzz reflects our deep-seated desire for nurturing, empathy, and connection. In a world often feeling chaotic, this color embodies a peaceful future filled with compassion, collaboration, and a sense of cozy sanctuary.
Imagine your ceremony bathed in the subtle glow of Peach Fuzz, bridesmaids gliding down the aisle in flowing gowns the colour of a summer sunset, and a reception space bathed in the warmth of this gentle hue. Adorned with floral arrangements overflowing with blush roses and peach blossoms, where every candle, every ribbon, radiates a sense of peace and joy. Peach Fuzz isn't about bold statements; it's about creating an atmosphere of intimate tenderness, a quiet symphony of pastel elegance
