The Perfect Blend
If you and your significant other share a mutual love for coffee, you are probably looking for a special way to serve the beverage on your wedding day.
Whether your first date took place in a cozy coffee shop, or your best memories are chatting over a cup of coffee, your big day will not be complete without a coffee bar!
The best part about coffee is that it can be served at any point during your event. Whether you want to kick off your ceremony with a cup of joe or serve it with your cake, you will find that not many guests will say no when offered a gourmet coffee beverage.
Attention to Every Detail
When it comes to your wedding, we know every.detail.counts. Here are 3 ways to integrate the coffee bar with your overall theme.
Stay Consistent With Your Wedding Theme
It is important to create a consistent theme with your coffee bar. So, whether your wedding is rustic, beachy, bohemian, or modern, make sure that the colors and designs that you use in your coffee bar match your wedding theme.
Table Decor
The bar area is perfect for taller cocktail tables where guests can circle around and enjoy their coffee.
Start with table covers that coordinate with your wedding colors. It can be plain colored with your monogram on it, but just ensure that it fits the table that you plan to use. Just in case, choose a liquid-resistant table cover in case of any spills.
Choose Snacks that Pair Well with Coffee
If you do not want to upstage your meal or have other appetizers or desserts planned, you can serve coffee beverages exclusively.
If not, choose treats that pair well with coffee (and will look great on your social channels): mini cupcakes, donuts, muffins, biscotti, chocolate, cookies, and nuts. Always label your food items to warn any guests who might have allergies.

We suggest stocking your bar with personalized wedding coffee cups, coffee sleeves, or coasters for guests to take home after the festivities are over. Every time they use their coffee cup, they will remember how fun your wedding was!
