Ivory wedding dress: versatility of shades
Ivory color is not just ivory, it is rich in various shades:
- beige;

The beige shade of ivory is the closest to the skin color, so this choice will become a symbol of openness in the image of the bride. A wedding dress in this shade will highlight tenderness and add grace.

Wedding Dress Ideas
Brides.
First of all, I would like to start with the image of the bride. The advantage of a themed wedding is that the bride's clothing can be simply festive, rather than traditional. For a coffee-themed wedding, you can choose a light dress with coffee elements or even a dark dress with a rich coffee color. The bride in such a dress will be unique and original. In fact, a wedding dress can be any shade of the coffee palette, for example, you can choose a dress in the color “coffee au lait”, “coffee latte” or “cappuccino”, “coffee with cream”.
If you insist on a white dress, then add coffee-colored wedding accessories to it. Colored elements for the bride's outfit can be a belt or shoes. You can also play up the coffee palette in your girlfriends’ outfits.
Grooms. A noble brown suit combined with a classic white shirt will help the groom stand out. A three-piece suit in a chocolate-coffee shade with a milky shirt is also suitable.
Using a tie or bow tie is an individual decision, the main thing is to maintain the basic palette of the celebration. The current trend is to tie a scarf around your neck.
A bold accent in the groom’s outfit will be a boutonniere with coffee beans. Instead of a boutonniere, a jacket can be used to decorate a classic pocket square in a soft coffee color. Following the details will help the groom look stylish and fashionable!
In addition to coffee-colored suits, the groom's friends can be offered hats or scarves as accessories.
Images of the bride and groom in coffee colors
At a themed wedding, the image of the newlyweds should be bright and special. For a coffee wedding, you can choose an elegant wedding dress in light shades with coffee-colored decorative elements.
You can opt for the traditional option - a white classic dress with an elegant belt and coffee-colored shoes. The look will be complemented by earrings in the shape of coffee beans and other jewelry, stylized to match the chosen theme.
A bride's dress made in the delicate color of coffee with milk or another light brown shade also looks great. The look will be complemented by jewelry made of pure gold.
Wedding suit options for the groom: classic in black or brown with a white shirt, brown tie and matching shoes. The jacket can be replaced with a coffee vest.
A bright accent in the groom’s image is a boutonniere with greenery and florists, in harmony with the bride’s bouquet.
Wedding bouquet and floristry
For wedding floristry and the bride's bouquet, exotic plants in chocolate shades, diluted with lush greenery and light buds, creating a bright and enlivening effect, are perfect. The bride's bouquet is complemented by satin ribbons, beads, coffee sprigs and other details that complete the thematic plot.
To decorate wedding floristry, you can use transparent vases filled with coffee beans and decorated with cinnamon sticks.
Bridal makeup
Cappuccino is suitable for girls of spring and autumn color types. Therefore, you should select makeup in accordance with the rules for selecting makeup to match your skin tone and eye color.
Green, peach and white shades will suit spring girls. Deep brown shades can help darken these colors and sometimes dilute your makeup with golden glitter in eye shadow or highlighter.
For autumn girls, you can choose darker shades of coffee, chocolate and caramel. Dark red and cherry lipsticks, as well as wine shades, suit these brides.
Makeup must match the hairstyle and attire and not deviate from the overall plan. So you should select parts with extreme caution.
Remember that your wedding look is your choice. No one has the right to judge your vision of your wedding – your dream. Be irresistible and confident in your choice.
Cappuccino colored guest clothes
Guests of the holiday can dress in elegant suits and cappuccino-colored dresses. When choosing outfits, the groomsmen and bridesmaids should take into account the main color of the newlyweds' outfits. Guests need to choose clothes in contrasting shades so that the young spouses stand out noticeably against their background, and do not merge with the general mass of invited guests.
Advantages and disadvantages
Before considering this color option, you need to consider all the pros and cons of such an outfit.
+ The advantage of a coffee dress can be considered its creativity and sophistication. Any color other than white will look unusual on the bride.
+ The cappuccino color was created to bring lightness and tenderness to a girl’s image. This applies to light shades. Dark shades of the outfit will look serious and passionate.
+ A dress of such shades is not so difficult to find in wedding salons.
— Not all guests can appreciate the unusual image positively, since for many the stereotype about an indispensably white wedding dress is strong.
- Not suitable for pale, fair-haired girls, as they risk blending into their clothes.
Coffee themed wedding decoration
To decorate a wedding in a coffee style, you will need various accessories and decorations, thanks to which you will be able to present the exquisite atmosphere of the holiday according to the planned plot.
Accessories
The main accessories of the wedding ceremony - invitations for guests, a pillow for wedding rings, glasses of champagne for the newlyweds and other wedding paraphernalia are decorated in a coffee palette. This color can be used as a base color or used decoratively using beautiful details.
Creative ideas for decoration:
- Invitations for guests can be decorated with Arabica beans. A dark brown ribbon with a bow looks harmonious on white paper.
- Champagne bottles and wedding glasses can be decorated with coffee beans, burlap and miniature floral elements to add romance.
- The wedding arch can be unusually decorated with coffee bean balls, chocolate-colored satin ribbons and white flower buds.
- Instead of a ring cushion, you can use a miniature box filled with Arabica beans.
Banquet hall and tables
When decorating a banquet hall, you can use coffee tones, muted smoky shades, or in combination with dark chocolate tones that harmonize with silver. The main goal is to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere in the interior of the space, in which the aromatic smell of freshly prepared coffee will certainly be present.
Design ideas:
- The walls of the banquet hall can be decorated in light cream, milky white or beige, highlighting the area where the newlyweds are located with a coffee color scheme.
- In the hall you can select a relaxation area by installing cozy sofas with coffee-colored pillows.
- Banquet tables can be covered with light tablecloths, complemented with coffee runners, or you can choose an alternative option, using rich chocolate-colored tablecloths decorated with light beige or cream runners as the main background.
- Naturally colored wooden chairs can be installed to accommodate guests.
- Fabrics of coffee and light shades are used in the decoration of the room.
- The hall is decorated with bright decorative elements - ribbons, candles, vases with fresh flowers, garlands, unusual pendants made of coffee beans and other paraphernalia that create a festive atmosphere.
- Banquet tables are served with white dishes with chocolate patterns, coffee cups, transparent vases with Arabica beans, floral arrangements, topiaries with coffee and cinnamon and miniature decorative coffee trees (bonsai).
When decorating a banquet hall, use several shades that harmonize with the color of coffee.
A wedding cake
The main dessert of a wedding celebration can be prepared with several tiers. A chocolate sponge cake with butter cream is perfect for the chosen style. The cake is decorated with chocolate decor: exquisite ornaments, coffee beans, miniature coffee cups made of mastic, chocolate figurines and other elements of sweet decor.
Festive table
Home style and nobility of decor are welcomed in the appearance of the festive table. Use vases with coffee decor as flower stands: they can be decorated with beans and packaging labels. Terrariums, bottles, glasses and candlesticks - filled with brown fragrant grains, they remind guests of the main theme of the wedding celebration. Each table can be labeled with a specific type of coffee.
Coffee “trees” and books with coffee-stained pages are suitable for table decor (a great idea for a holiday menu!). Place small containers on the table for spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, clove umbrellas.
The most delicious desserts
Coffee is a tart drink that goes well with a sweet dessert. In addition to a variety of coffee drinks from different parts of the world, the holiday menu includes ice cream, cakes, delicious eclairs and all kinds of fruit delicacies. Oriental sweets, Turkish delight, marmalade and marshmallows in brown shades against the background of custard cakes and meringues - it’s great if the sweet table will resonate with coffee contrasts like the general atmosphere of the event.
A quick snack can be installed in different parts of the room - these can be machines with candies and single packaged cookies, as well as elegant tables with white plain plates filled with chocolates.
Luxurious cake
A cake with coffee and cognac impregnation and juicy layers will arouse everyone's admiration and fill the air with a pleasant aroma. You can pre-break it into portions or let the newlyweds enjoy cutting the treat themselves. As decoration, use traditional figurines of young people, coffee beans, icing, edible confectionery cups, and thematic inscriptions. Fill the cake with chocolate and decorate the top with contrasting milky-white details - this option will appeal to everyone who is close to the coffee theme.

Coffee bar and wedding menu
A coffee themed wedding is incomplete without a themed coffee bar. This will be an excellent analogue of a sweet bar, emphasizing the chosen concept of the celebration.
The coffee bar's assortment can include coffee drinks for every taste, chocolate muffins, biscuits, cakes, dark chocolate, marshmallows and other types of dessert that are perfect for a cup of hot coffee.
The menu for a coffee-style wedding is selected taking into account the main idea of the scenario and the personal preferences of the couple. The main thing is to include aromatic coffee of different varieties in the list of treats, which will become the main drink at this amazing holiday!
Bridal bouquet
If for one reason or another you do not want to use the services of a professional master to create floral arrangements, you will have to combine the classic style yourself and add coffee motifs. This is not difficult to do if you have a sense of style and can find flowers in the right shades: roses, gladioli or delicate chrysanthemums.
Milky peonies and orchids will set off their darker “colleagues”. This way, the bride will have an amazing coffee composition in her hands, which, if desired, can be supplemented with rhinestones, beads, and tied with ribbons. For lovers of contrasts, brighter decor is selected (red ribbon, burgundy lace).
Tips for a coffee-themed photo shoot
For a wedding photo shoot, you can choose a picturesque corner in nature with green spaces. Coffee-colored decorations look great against the backdrop of colorful greenery.
If the wedding photo shoot will take place in the banquet hall of a restaurant, organize a themed photo zone. In the design you can use wooden and metal decorations, coffee cups, Turks, three-dimensional letters - the names of the newlyweds and the word “love”.
You can come up with a whole plot - a couple on a romantic date, walking through the city at night, goes to a cozy coffee shop. For such a photo shoot, you can come up with a special scenario. The result will be interesting and symbolic shots that will become the main part of the first family photo album.
A coffee-style wedding is a very cozy event with a pleasant aroma of a freshly prepared drink, giving pleasure and a sea of positive emotions!
Design and attributes
When it comes to decorating a coffee wedding, another trusted ally comes into play. We're talking about cinnamon. These incense sticks can be included in banquet table arrangements or other banquet decorations.
Of course, a scattering of roasted coffee tree fruits is relevant in all forms. Place in vessels, add candles and flowers. Very cozy and homely.
Textiles of deep chocolate color are relevant. Milky chair covers will please the eye if you tie large brown bows on them.
You can create collages of coffee cups from all over the world.
Prepare small surprises for those invited. Everyone will be happy to receive a bag of high-quality Arabica or Robusta beans as a gift.
You can't go to a coffee wedding without the appropriate aroma. If the celebration room is small, a coffee bar will cope with this task. If that's not enough, incense sticks and sprays can help.
Decor
Pay careful attention to the decorative elements, take care of relaxation for guests in the form of a chill-out area. Remember that the event takes place in several parts and includes an official ceremony, a banquet, and an entertainment program. Zoning provides convenience of placement, but at the same time requires a conscious approach to the design of space. Equip a place to relax with comfortable tables, benches, soft ottomans, creating the image of a coffee shop. The menu can be placed on a dark chalk board. For pillows and blankets, choose different shades of brown or themed prints.
An integral element of a wedding celebration is a coffee bar. To organize a place where each guest can try different types of coffee, you will need a coffee machine. You can post instructions for preparing the drink at the bar or hire a barista.
Next to the coffee jars, place containers with spices, bottles with syrups, milk, plates with sugar and a scattering of sweets. You should also take care of the dishes in advance.
Avoid U-shaped seating for guests. It is inconvenient for observing what is happening on the central stage. Subdued lighting, relaxed atmosphere, comfortable furniture - this is how a ceremony is created where every guest feels at home. Lots of candles, hanging lanterns and delicate table lamps will harmoniously fit into the overall image of the interior.
Use hanging coffee arrangements made from flowers, ribbons and candles. The base can be milky tulips and delicate cream roses.
