As a global authority on color, the Pantone Color Institute continues to make waves during NYFW. The colors showcased on the runway don’t just shape fashion — they also leave a lasting impact on home decor, event styling, and floral design.
For everything from elegant weddings to energetic garden parties and modern corporate gatherings, these trendsetting colors are ready to make waves in floral and event decor. WKF Weddings in St. Louis, Missouri is unveiling what’s on the horizon, inspired by Pantone’s NYFW and SS25 Color Palettes, to ignite your creative planning.
Nature Meets Technology
The SS25 color forecast from Pantone focuses on the synergy between nature and technology, particularly the relationship between flora, fauna, and Generative AI. With vibrant shades of purple, orange, blue, and green, the palette is rounded out with neutral accents of silver, black, and white. However, the NYFW report shifts slightly, maintaining nature-inspired greens and blues but pairing them with timeless, seasonal neutrals that provide a sense of warmth and comfort.
Cool Pastels
With shades like White Grape, Bran, Crocus, Lime Cream, and Limpet Shell, this pastel palette is super fitting for any spring or summer party or event. It’s light and playful, evoking the feel of a breezy garden soiree with billowing linens. Add in gorgeous flowers like soft violet roses and blush-pink peonies, combined with eucalyptus and blue succulents, for a fresh, enchanting floral display.
Primary Vintage
This nostalgic palette exudes retro boho vibes with a cozy, festive flair. Featuring Cocoon, Orangeade, Misted Marigold, Kashmir, and Deja Vu Blue, it’s perfect for purple succulents, jewel-toned dahlias, and vibrant greenery. Accents of natural beige from pampas grass or airy fabrics swaying in the breeze complete the earthy, warm feel.

Cozy Edge
This colorway captures the essence of cozy, rich neutrals with shades like Blue Granite, Moonbeam, Rum Raisin, Antique White, and Eclipse. Ideal for a chic candlelit dinner or a wedding in minimalist style, the palette comes to life with cream and ivory roses, pampas grass, and blue thistle, plus chocolate accents. The result is a luxurious yet inviting feel that blends elegance with comfort.
Cool Industrial
With its minimalistic and contemporary feel, this color palette features hues like Sirocco, Manatee, Timber Green, Timber Wolf, and Outer Space. White and blue flowers are a natural fit, but pairing them with dusty miller, silver accents, and dark greenery in sophisticated concrete vases creates an edgy, modern look. Visualize a gallery or industrial loft with towering ceilings and metal finishes, perfect for a chic, ultra-modern event.
Grounded Nature
With Grandpa Chic becoming trendier and trendier, the Green Pea, Shingle Fawn, and Eggplant palette that comes with it has a rich, earthy, and luxurious aesthetic. Whether your style leans adventurous or refined, this combination is both sophisticated and natural. Red dahlias, scarlet roses, and proteas, paired with lush greenery, are perfect. Add decor touches like leather accents, wooden textures, brass vases, and moss for a cozy and organic energy.
Bold Celebration
For those who love to make a statement with color, explore vivid shades like Midnight Blue, Burnt Sienna, Denim, Flirt, Deep Sea Green, and Punch. These dynamic hues reflect the dazzling brilliance of nature’s flora and fauna. Imagine an event with a tropical flair, showcasing bold blooms like proteas, birds of paradise, orchids, gerbera daisies, and anthuriums, plus lots of greenery. Enhance the vibrant look with layers of texture and shimmering metallics to bring even more excitement and dimension to this joyful, nature-inspired theme.
Eclectic Whimsy
If pastel shades with a fresh, playful twist are your style, the Sahara Sand, Sinbad, New York Pink, and Fern color combination will delight you. This light, breezy palette is a spring and summer favorite with its quirky yet modern appeal. For a show-stopping floral design, go for anthuriums, pink peonies, craspedia billy balls, and yellow ranunculus. Complete the look with hydrangeas and powder blue delphinium, plus greenery for a perfectly whimsical touch.
