Inviting Tabletop

Mocha Mousse is all about warmth and sophistication. For reception décor, think soft textures and natural materials. Pair Mocha Mousse colored chargers, velvet table runners or diaphanous napkins with creamy whites, dusty pinks, and gold accents for a dreamy and balanced palette. Layer the look and ground the scene with natural wood elements in seating or cocktail tables.

Toffee Florals

Incorporate Mocha Mousse into your florals with unique blooms and greenery. Roses in muted taupe, toffee, or cappuccino tones stun when paired with white peonies, beige dahlias, and hints of eucalyptus. Satin or silk ribbons in the rich shade can add elegance to the bouquets, aisle arrangements, and ceremony arch.

Luxurious Invitations

Mocha Mousse stationery is an easy way to give guests a preview of your elegant color scheme. Using it as the cardstock color allows for printing in gold or white tones for a shimmery effect. Wax seals (making a big comeback!) in cream or metallic bronze or gold complete a timeless effect.

Wedding Party Attire

Bridesmaid dresses and tuxes or suits look equally elegant and modern in Mocha Mousse and flatter almost any skin tone. Accents of gold, ivory, teal blue, or sage green set off the sumptuous shade. Rich fabrics like velvet, silk, and chiffon reflect the light to play up its warmth.

Sultry Beauty

Minky liner and lashes, gilded bronzer, mocha lip gloss, and creamy cocoa eye shadows can carry Mocha Mousse through to wedding party glam. The warm palette will give photos a more romantic look.

Decadent Desserts

With a name like Mocha Mousse, it’s natural that this shade will inspire menu selections. Clouds of chocolate mousse in coupe glasses, mocha cupcakes, and chocolate-drizzled macaroons, add flavor and texture to a reception. Mocha Mousse blends well at the bar, as well. Use it in signature cocktails based on the ever-popular espresso martini or a spiked hot chocolate with amber rock candy stirrers
