Peach Fuzz is the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2024 and our iconic Juliet rose is the perfect flower to infuse your wedding with the latest colour trend. All at once youthful, ethereal and elegant, Juliet is one of David Austin’s most popular wedding roses and it’s easy to see why.
With her luminous peach colour, countless ombre petals and deeply cupped shape, Juliet is a firm favourite with couples and florists alike. You have probably spotted Juliet in many beautiful peach wedding bouquets on Pinterest, so let’s find out how to use this delightful rose in your own wedding flowers.
Why Peach Fuzz is the Pantone Colour of the Year
A charming peach shade softly nestled between pink and orange, Peach Fuzz is sweet and modern, and a beautifully versatile colour to incorporate into your wedding. According to Pantone, Peach Fuzz represents a feeling of nurturing and a sense of calm, which we could all do with more of in 2024!
“Subtly sensual, Peach Fuzz is a heartfelt peach hue bringing a feeling of kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration,” explains Vice President of Pantone, Elley Cheng. “It is a warm and cozy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others or for enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates.”
A peach rose like no other
With its nurturing feel and beautiful sense of calm, peach makes the ideal hue for a fine art wedding colour palette. Our charming peach rose Juliet is the ultimate choice, with her voluminous petals that ombré beautifully from soft peach to warm apricot as she unfurls over two days.
No other rose really compares to Juliet when it comes to creating the perfect peach bouquet. She has become one of David Austin’s most instantly recognisable roses! Juliet can be taken in any style direction, from youthful and modern to classically elegant. We also love seeing her styled playfully as wearable florals like in this creative editorial by Joy Proctor.
What colours does peach pair well with?
Juliet is a surprisingly versatile rose with a light scent of tea, adding a soft romanticism wherever she is placed. Juliet is ethereal when combined with soft-toned blush pinks, whites and silver greys, but she can be equally dramatic and bold when paired with coral, yellow and fuchsia pink. If you are more of a bold bride, take a look at our “Outdoor Wedding Florals” blog to see how she can pop and give you the ultimate wow factor at your wedding reception.
One of our favourite colour pairings is peach, ivory and powder blue as styled beautifully in this European-inspired wedding editorial at Lake Erie in Ohio. The warm peach tone of Juliet looks stunning with the blue toile de jouy print used throughout the floral arch, tablescape and stationery. Peach roses also bring warmth to the neutral tones of the bridal bouquet and statement floral arch.
