So, we’ve all heard the song this song by Landon Pigg… right? It’s one of those songs you might not recognize from the title but once you have a listen you’ll remember it. The soft melody reminds you of all things warm and fuzzy… like falling in love and, yes, a coffee shop. (Well played, Landon.) Today, we’re showing you how to plan a coffee themed wedding, whether that means you’re getting married in a coffee shop or blending together a few key elements to tie together your coffee theme. Read on to find out how to plan a coffee themed wedding, find inspiration for coffee wedding centerpieces and decor, learn how to make your own DIY coffee themed wedding favors and more! Enjoy!
How to Plan a Coffee Themed Wedding
We’ve heard of unique wedding ceremony spots before, but a coffee shop? This one’s a first! Francisco & Rebecca tied the knot in a small, intimate wedding ceremony in a coffee shop where they shared one of their first dates. (Awwwwww.) What a perfect way to tie a sweet memory and your love for coffee! These images were taken by the lovely Hyer Images based in Madison, Wisconsin.
Getting married in your favorite spot, the place you met or your first date is a terrific way to share a chapter of your love story with your guests. And, can we just add how adorable this couple is? Cheers, you two!
How to Plan a Coffee Bar
If you’ll be tying the knot with a coffee themed wedding – or, you’re blessed with a sweetest little coffee shop around the corner that doesn’t mind a few guests in attendance, make a great first impression with plenty of coffee drinks. In lieu of alcohol (or in addition to) opt for yummy coffee instead. Buy plenty of flavored creamers, offer sugar and swizzle sticks, personalized coffee cups and plenty of delicious donuts for dunking.
Signature drinks for the bride and groom…
And, you know how you’ve seen these chalkboard mason jars? Here’s a unique twist – for coffee!
Grab a few mugs for your bridesmaids…
… and, a few manly mugs for the groomsmen…
Or, just for the bride + groom…
… and, personalized spoons for your coffee + sugar…
Coffee Bean Place Cards
For a cohesive theme, you’ll want to incorporate coffee-inspired details into your decor. For example, you can have ordinary place cards… or, you can up the ante with these coffee bean place cards:
Coffee Bean Centerpieces
For easy centerpieces, just add whole coffee beans to clear vases and fill with candles or flowers.
Caramel Coffee Warmers
These delicious caramel coffee warmers and cookies are placed on top of guests’ coffee cups to keep ‘em piping hot. The steam makes the warmers ooey gooey for a delicious treat.
Coffee Wedding Favors
What’s a coffee themed wedding without coffee favors? Package up coffee beans in mason jars, jelly jars, boxes, kraft bags, burlap sacks, etc.
We think these coffee scoops would look adorable attached to your coffee wedding favors with a ribbon:

I love this. Would give me an opportunity to mix all 3 of my passions – photography, weddings and coffee.

the “spray painted coffee beans” are infact “cofee joulies” they cool off and keep coffee at the proper drinking temperature for a long time.

Thanks for clarifying, Thomas!

The picture of the silver coffee beans – These are NOT spray painted, these are metal -www.joulies.com/ – these are actually little metal beans for keeping your coffee hot – just a warning, don’t try to spray paint coffee beans silver, they don’t look like this and it ends up a huge mess! ;)
