PEACH FUZZ We love Pantone’s colour of the year for 2024, Peach Fuzz, and it’s set to take the wedding industry by storm. Lisa says, “This warm and delicate blend of orange-pink hues is ideal for weddings that aim to celebrate love and unity. Peach Fuzz can be seamlessly incorporated into a modern wedding cake design, either as a soft peach base colour for a romantic, dreamy feel, or as soft peach-toned sugar flowers on an all-white bake. For a spring wedding, pair it with yellows and blues; for a summer wedding, consider pinks and lilacs; for autumn, combine it with orange tones and golds; and for a winter wedding, silver and white make a perfect match.” Laura too tips this hue for the top, “Peach Fuzz is a warm and cosy shade with a light and airy feel, making it a stunning shade to select for your wedding. There are plenty of ways to integrate it into your wedding cake, from delicate peach-toned icing to intricate floral decorations, adding a touch of sophistication and sweetness. While Peach Fuzz is undeniably captivating, remember, moderation is key. “Too much can feel overwhelming, so strike a balance with crisp whites, touches of mint green, or even a hint of gold for a truly enchanting effect.” “In 2024, couples are embracing a fusion of timeless elegance and modern design in their choice of wedding cake.” – Laura, Laura’s Pantry
