Chocolate brown wedding color palette

Chocolate brown is the deep warm brown that came back as the anchor of the mocha and earth-tone trend, a softer substitute for black. It sets off cream and caramel the way espresso sets off milk, and it reads cozy and expensive at once. Walnut wood, leather, and dried fern carry it through a room with no dyeing required.

Real flowers for a chocolate brown palette

Dried fern over walnut-brown stems, cream roses for the espresso-against-milk contrast, no dyeing required.

  • Garden roseFocal flower

    Roses are the one wedding staple truly available every month, grown year-round in Colombia and Ecuador; field-grown garden varieties peak late spring through fall, so off-season garden roses lean on imports.

  • Fern (leatherleaf)Greenery

    Leatherleaf fern is the most common cut foliage, available year-round with a leathery frond that resists wilting, and it presses and dries well.
