Brides + Minted Just Announced the 2025 Wedding Color of the Year—and We're in Love With the Vibrant Hue

You'll be dreaming of a romantic Italian landscape once you see the shade.

We always enjoy learning which hues paint brands have selected as their color of the year , but it turns out the fun doesn't have to stop there, because yesterday, Brides and Minted Weddings announced their 2025 Wedding Color of the Year is Verona Sunset. Read on to learn more about the poppy shade—then go ahead and order an appropriately-colored wedding guest dress or two. You can thank us later when the compliments roll in on the dance floor!

Verona Sunset is inspired by a couple of things that we all adore: the popularity of Italian aperitivi, like the Aperol Spritz , and the romantic backdrop of Romeo and Juliet . A stark contrast to last year's Wedding Color of the Year (Marseille Bleu), Verona Sunset is perfect for those who can't resist going bold.

“At BRIDES, we love to see couples push boundaries and plan colorful, unique weddings," says Gabriella Rello Duffy, senior editorial director at Brides. "Whether you want to host a bold and bright event or are looking for small, impactful ways to add pops of color to your ceremony and reception, we invite you to get to know Verona Sunset."

Of course, you can weave the color into your ceremony however you'd like. It would make a great choice for florals, table linens, name cards , and so much more. Pair Aperol Spritzes with festive Verona Sunset napkins or straws to really get the party going.

You can even introduce the color into the mix before your festivities even kick off, all thanks to the brand-new Minted + Brides Verona Sunset stationery collection , featuring everything from save-the-date cards and invitations to day-of paper goods and signage. Just note that you won't be the only ones hopping on board the bright bandwagon: Minted reports that sales of wedding stationery featuring orange hues have grown threefold within the past year. Orange you glad you're now in on the fun?!
