When it comes to trend reports, the Pantone Color Institute reigns supreme — even during New York Fashion Week. As models strut down the runway, it’s the eye-catching colors that leave a lasting impact, shaping everything from what we wear to how we decorate our homes and design events. Whether you’re planning a chic wedding, a vibrant garden soirée, or a sleek corporate gathering, these runway-inspired hues are primed to dominate floral and event decor. Griffin’s Floral Designs is here to break down how Pantone’s NYFW and Spring/Summer 2025 palettes will inspire your next celebration.
Nature Meets Technology
Pantone’s Spring/Summer 2025 color forecast explores a fascinating intersection between nature and technology — blending the organic beauty of flora and fauna with the innovation of Generative AI. It’s a delicate balance, reflected in a palette of vibrant greens, blues, oranges, and purples, alongside sleek whites, blacks, and silvers. But when we dig into the NYFW color report, there’s a subtle shift. Nature-inspired hues like soft greens and blues remain, but they’re mixed with timeless, luxurious neutrals that evoke comfort and ease.
Cool Pastels
This pastel color palette is ideal for a spring or summer garden party. It blends Bran, Crocus, Lime Cream, Limpet Shell, and White Grape for a soft, whimsical vibe — like a serene fairytale. Picture airy, billowing linens paired with delicate purple roses and peonies grounded by the hardy texture of blue succulents and green eucalyptus.
Primary Vintage
This nostalgic palette brings a retro, earthy boho vibe with a touch of festive warmth. Featuring hues like Deja Vu Blue, Kashmir, Misted Marigold, Orangeade, and Cocoon, it’s a colorway begging for bold dahlias in jewel tones, purple succulents, and lush greenery. Add natural beige accents from pampas grass or breezy fabrics, and you’ve got the perfect backdrop for a laid-back yet vibrant celebration.

Cozy Edge
Pulling in rich, moody neutrals, this color palette strikes a perfect balance between comfort and elegance. With shades like Eclipse, Antique White, Rum Raisin, Moonbeam, and Blue Granite, it sets the stage for a minimalist wedding or a cozy, candlelit dinner.

Grounded Nature
The Grandpa Chic aesthetic arrives with an earthy, grounded palette of Shingle Fawn, Eggplant, and Green Pea—a combination that’s both rich and luxurious. Imagine deep crimson roses, red dahlias, and exotic proteas framed by lush greenery. Add layers of moss, wooden textures, brass vases, or leather accents for a cozy, nature-inspired atmosphere with a sophisticated touch. Whether you’re going for high adventure or high style, it’s the perfect look.
Bold Celebration
If bold and bright is your style, you’ll love this shimmering palette featuring Flirt, Punch, Burnt Sienna, Deep Sea Green, Midnight Blue, and Denim. This colorway brings the vibrant beauty of nature—birds, plants, and tropical vibes—right into your event. Lean towards joyful blooms like anthuriums, gerbera daisies, orchids, protea, and birds of paradise, paired with plenty of fresh greenery. The more textures and metallic accents, the better!
Eclectic Whimsy
For those drawn to light and airy pastels, the Fern, New York Pink, Sinbad, and Sahara Sand colorway is a perfect fit. Ideal for spring and summer, it feels fresh, quirky, and modern. Think of iconic florals like yellow ranunculus, craspedia billy balls, pink peonies, and anthuriums, mixed with powder blue delphinium, hydrangeas, and lush greenery for a whimsical, statement-worthy event.
