Prepping for 2025's Mocha Mousse Weddings: Fashion & Beauty Picks

Dec 6, 2024 at 4:31 PM
Every year, a new color takes center stage in the world of fashion and beauty. Last year, it was red that dominated, but this year, a more neutral hue has emerged as the top choice. Mocha Mousse, a muted brown-grayish shade, is set to be the star of 2025 weddings. With seven weddings on my calendar this year, I'm excited to explore how to incorporate this gorgeous color into my day-of looks.

Embrace the Elegance of Mocha Mousse in 2025 Weddings

Brides

Reformation offers a timeless silk gown in Mocha Mousse, with tie straps and a deep V-neck adding unique touches. The brand is known for its wedding guest dresses, and this one is no exception. At Revolve, a mocha-colored dress catches the eye with its subtle belt detail at the waist and double-layered off-the-shoulder neckline. Bloomingdale's presents a strappy brown Reiss dress with cowl and halter neck details and racerback straps, more fashion-forward than a typical silky slip dress.

Mocha Mousse isn't just for dresses; it also extends to suits. Todd Snyder's suit, made from soft Italian wool flannel, is perfect for fall and winter weddings and follows the Mocha Mousse trend. Saks Fifth Avenue has a unique brown linen suit with pinstripes, making a statement while still looking classy. Bonobos offers a fabulous wool jacket and trousers combination that emulates the Mocha Mousse hue, with slim, athletic, and standard size ranges available.

Mocha Mousse Makeup for Brides, Bridesmaids, and Wedding Guests

Remember Revlon's Toast of New York? The Hourglass lip balm is a modern take on this shade, providing high volume with a sheer look. It's an update that's perfect for 2025 weddings. Black eyeliner can be severe, so for beach weddings, a Mocha Mousse eye look is softer and more earthy. Half Magic's velvety-soft lip cream lasts all day and night, without caking, creasing, or drying out. It's a great option for both brides and wedding guests. Tony Moly's coffee scrub mask is a refined way to incorporate the Mocha Mousse theme, with a mild scent and non-overpowering microbeads. Olivia & June's nail color kit gives chocolate-y nails and is chip-resistant and easy to apply.

Mocha Mousse Shoes & Accessories

Schutz offers timeless stiletto pumps in a brown shade that feels refreshing. Clutches are essential wedding accessories, and Cuyana's slim brown leather clutch is compact and sleek. For those who prefer simple dresses, Lele Sadoughi's abstract earrings in various Mocha Mousse colorways add a statement. These earrings come in a deeper brown hue and a gray-brown shade, perfect for completing a wedding guest look.

Mocha Mousse Bridal Party Pajama Sets

Satin charmeuse pajama sets in an almond colorway from Nordstrom are fun for bridesmaids and can be worn beyond the occasion. Skims' lounge set, made from buttery soft fabric, is comfy and chic, clinging to curves in all the right places. Amazon's custom satin bridesmaid PJ set allows you to embroider each bridesmaid's name, adding a personal touch.

Mocha Mousse Wedding Gifts

A Smeg retro drip coffeemaker is a great gift for a Mocha Mousse-themed wedding. The brand's quality is unmatched, and the design is chic. LUSH's cardamom, rose, and cocoa fragrance creates an earthy unisex scent that makes a great housewarming gift. His and hers Ugg boots are a fun way to incorporate the color scheme, with the classic mini boot for her and the classic moccasin for him.

Why Trust Brides

Brides' associate editorial operations director, Jill Di Donato, has been a fan of Mocha Mousse since the 2000s when she wore the lipstick shade Toast of New York. As a bridesmaid, she's excited about giving gifts that pay homage to the Pantone Color of the Year for 2025. Brides writer Maddie Barber loves browny-nude makeup looks and was thrilled when Mocha Mousse won the color of the year. Barber spent hours searching for the best fashion and beauty options in this pretty brown hue as she loves shopping for wedding looks for her 2025 calendar.
