This might be the reason why, after an engagement, so many people have planned their happiest day around coffee because it does make sense! Not only is it a wholesome trend, but it is also refreshingly symbolic! Coffee is chemistry, an intoxicating love affair, and a daily need and so is a love story, so it fits beautifully!
Whether you and your partner love a good cup of coffee on a rainy day, or it is the fact that you met in a coffee shop, or are pure coffee snobs and won't settle for anything but the best, a coffee-themed wedding is something which will make perfect sense for you! There are so many different ways that you can incorporate a coffee theme into your special day, whether it is by putting up a coffee station, or sprinkling it in your wedding decor, or baking it up in your wedding cake! Admittedly it is one of the easiest themes to work with, whether it is in its fragrance, its taste, or its look. It is an especially easy theme to incorporate if you are hosting a fall wedding because wearing shades of coffee works phenomenally with the falling leaves outside. If coffee sticks to your soul in a special kind of way, read on because this article breaks it down and provides all the coffee-themed tips you will need.
Mold to your theme: You can still have a coffee-themed wedding but make it suitable for your wedding theme as a whole. Are you hosting a rustic coffee-themed wedding? Or a vintage chrome and brown-themed wedding? If your vibe is more leaning towards the blacks and dark browns or are you all creamy lattes, identify your theme and pay it up! While your theme is coffee, your undercurrents of overall aesthetics are exactly what makes it uniquely yours. You can use twine and burlap for a rustic-looking coffee theme, or go for elegant glass containers to hold your cold brews. You can go for an antique vibe for a vintage wedding or infuse greenery and flowers for a more natural theme!
Coffee bar: It goes without saying but putting up a coffee bar in your coffee-themed wedding is a must! There are so many coffee bar options to choose from that you and your spouse will be spoilt for choice. Whether you want to go for a rustic themed coffee bar with burlap details, banners, and rustic elements, or you want to go more vintage with an elegant coffee setup, with elements like old vintage clocks, hardwood details, etc. You can also have your coffee bar in a mobile bar-on-the-wheels setup or commit to a full-on cafe bar by asking your favorite local cafe to set up a pop-up at your wedding! Keep in mind that your coffee bar setup is not your usual drink setup and might be the primary attraction of your whole wedding, so you might want to pay close attention to this area. After all, what is a coffee-themed wedding without a good coffee bar?
Say it with quotes: It is punny and clear coffee signage which makes the coffee theme look more intentional! Wedding signages deliver a lot to your special day, and it is true for coffee-themed weddings as well! Whether it's propping up a letterboard, a quote in the entrance etched in a chalkboard, or framed signage in the drink station, the perfect coffee quote can add a sense of humor to your special day and make it feel more personalized. Some of the coffee sayings are:
We’re the perfect blend.
Love is brewing.
Thanks for “bean” here.
Grounds for celebration.
Offer Alternatives: While we know how excited you are about the coffee and yeah, it's a coffee-themed wedding, but you should also consider your non-coffee-drinking guests! And also, keep the kids in your guest list in mind! So the smartest thing to do is provide alternatives. Another fun alternative for coffee-themed weddings is hot chocolate which is a crowd pleaser! You can also include black tea, herbal tea, green tea, chai latte mix, and hot apple cider mix. If you are giving out coffee-themed edible favors, it might be a good idea to keep the same ideas in mind because a bag of coffee might not be of much use to your non-coffee drinker guests! Instead, entertain the possibilities of coffee-themed items, like coffee scented candles, mugs, or handmade artisan soap and you won't have to worry about drink alternatives.
Coffee-themed venue: What better way than to pull off a coffee-themed wedding than by hosting it in a coffee-themed venue. This can mean an industrial coffee factory, a cute coffee house, or when you have a history related to coffee. While if you have a smaller guest count, you can always host your reception brunch in a coffee house, a bigger guest count will require a larger space so make your choice accordingly. There are several coffee-themed wedding venues that you can take your pick from and there is a variety that is diverse enough to fit any of your wedding themes. Choosing a coffee-themed wedding venue will not only feel more authentic to your theme but will give your wedding a charming and cool vibe!
Favors: Wedding favors is another way to bring the coffee influence to your wedding guests and there are so many options you can go for this one. Whether you want to go for a special blend of coffee, personalized coffee mug, a coffee-scented candle, coffee body scrub, or coffee-scented hand lotion, we are sure your guests will love the thoughtfulness. You can also go simple and give your guests a gift card to your favorite coffee shop. If you want to stay more inclusive you can also go for tea bags, hot cocoa kits, etc. so that you are not alienating the non-coffee drinkers.
Invite strongly: The first glimpse of your wedding day that the guests receive is through the wedding invites, and an ideal leader should speak a ton about the wedding theme. So if you are planning to host a coffee-themed wedding, you might want to get started with the invites first. There are so many different ways to do a coffee-themed wedding invite that you will be surprised by the options available. Whether it is a cute bag of coffee beans wrapped in a burlap satchel, with “Love is brewing” printed in an industrial font, or it is a paper napkin invite with the coffee ring imprints, a little creativity goes a long way here! Start strong to launch the coffee-flavored wedding theme with the right foot forward!
Coffee wedding cakes: The coffee in your coffee-themed wedding doesn't have to come from a cup but can be infused in your wedding dessert as well. Coffee-flavored wedding cakes are one way to go about it, and the options with this one are inexhaustible. If you don't want your wedding cake to be coffee-flavored you can also include coffee-infused doughnuts, or decadent tiramisu as a part of your dessert. You can also go for traditional flavor on your wedding cake as you experiment with the decoration of the cake to incorporate your wedding theme. One of the interesting ideas is a levitating coffee mug spilling coffee beans to cascade around the cake, and that is just one cake. The many options out there for you to choose from.
Decor: Coffee is an all-around charmer because not only is it incredible in taste, it also smells amazing and looks stunning!
