The Pantone Color Institute is a powerhouse in all things color forecasting and trend reporting — and New York Fashion Week is no exception. With every runway show, we see vibrant shades that shape fashion (of course) and influence home decor, event styling, and floral design! Whether you’re planning a stylish wedding, a festive garden party, or a cutting-edge corporate event, these fresh hues and colorways are here to inspire. At WildFlower, we’re giving you an inside look at the trending palettes from NYFW and Pantone’s SS25 Report that will make big waves in the wedding and event industry.
Nature Meets Technology
Pantone’s SS25 forecast leans into the fusion of nature and technology, a blend of flora, fauna, and the futuristic influence of Generative AI. The palettes feature vibrant greens, blues, oranges, and purples, balanced by modern shades like white, black, and silver. But as we explore the NYFW color report, there’s a shift towards more understated elegance. While soft greens and blues still channel nature’s influence, they’re balanced by classic neutrals that evoke a feeling of comfort and sophistication—perfect for creating an inviting yet stylish event vibe.
Cool Pastels
For a spring or summer event that’s light, breezy, and full of charm, this pastel palette is everything. With shades like Bran, Crocus, Lime Cream, Limpet Shell, and White Grape, the look is whimsical, perfect for a garden party scene complete with soft, fluttering linens. Add in soft purple roses, pink peonies, textured blue succulents, and green eucalyptus to bring this colorway to life.
Primary Vintage
With a nostalgic nod to retro boho style, this color palette brings a cozy, earthy vibe with a splash of festivity. Featuring Deja Vu Blue, Kashmir, Misted Marigold, Orangeade, and Cocoon, it’s simply screaming for lush dahlias in warm jewel-toned blooms. Succulents, vibrant greenery, and soft beige elements from pampas grass or fabric help create an aesthetic that’s both grounded and free-spirited.

Cozy Edge
A colorway that brings together those familiar, cozy, and deeply rich neutral hues for an effortlessly elegant vibe features Eclipse, Antique White, Rum Raisin, Moonbeam, and Blue Granite. It’s the perfect blend for a minimalist wedding or an intimate candlelit dinner. Picture it with lush ivory and cream roses, pampas grass, blue thistle, and touches of chocolate brown, resulting in a luxurious atmosphere that’s sophisticated and welcoming.
Cool Industrial
With sleek, minimal, and modern vibes, this color palette features Timber Wolf, Sirocco, Timber Green, Outer Space, and Manatee. While blue and white flowers add a fresh touch, dusty miller, deep greenery, and silver accents bring this colorway to life, especially when arranged in concrete vases for a contemporary, industrial aesthetic. These floral looks will thrive in an old gallery or loft space with tall ceilings, keeping things clean, sharp, and oh-so-modern.
Grounded Nature
Grandpa Chic is back with a color palette that blends earthy tones like Shingle Fawn, Eggplant, and Green Pea for a look that feels rich, natural, and effortlessly luxurious — like an old, authentic library. Rich, grounded, and sophisticated, this combo works for both the adventurous and the style-forward. Think crimson roses, red dahlias, and proteas nestled in lush greenery. Layer in textures like moss, wood, brass vases, and leather accents to create a warm, nature-inspired space that’s equal parts cozy and chic.
Bold Celebration
For the bold and daring, this color palette is a shimmering burst of vibrant hues like Flirt, Punch, Burnt Sienna, Deep Sea Green, Midnight Blue, and Denim. It’s a tropical dream come to life, with anthuriums, protea, gerbera daisies, orchids, and birds of paradise, adding bright hues and textures. Complement the palette with lush greenery and metallics for an event that’s full of high-energy, joyful vibes and rich, natural beauty.
Eclectic Whimsy
If colorful pastels with a modern flair are calling your name, the Fern, New York Pink, Sinbad, and Sahara Sand palette is sure to catch your eye. Light, quirky, and new, it’s a stunning choice for spring or summer celebrations. Imagine whimsical florals like yellow ranunculus, craspedia billy balls, pink peonies, and anthuriums alongside soft blue delphinium, hydrangeas, and fresh greenery for a look that’s playful and classy.
Whether you embrace the serene beauty of nature-inspired blues and greens or go all-in with bold, futuristic brights and metallics, WildFlower is ready to transform these trending colors into something unforgettable.
