WHAT TYPE OF COFFEE BRIDE ARE YOU

When choosing a mobile coffee station for your wedding, the type of station you choose can say a lot about you as a bride and about the wedding you are planning to have.

Maybe you think a food truck trailer is kind of cool or an ornate bar floats your boat or maybe it's that quirky little pushcart that gets you excited, there's no right answer. As long as there is coffee that's all that really matters.

Food trucks are a huge craze at the moment especially trendy old-school ones that remind us nostalgically of the past. They are reminiscent of New York street vendors and are most often found at music or other festivals. But of course that doesn't mean you can't have one at your wedding to serve your favorite coffee beverages. They look cool and they make people remember the good old days, which most of your guests probably didn't even live through, but it ignites in people a feeling of warmth and love of a simpler time and that's certainly going to be creating a great vibe at your wedding. If you are leaning towards having a food truck coffee station at your wedding this can tell us one of two things about you as a bride. One: you are a hipster and love that the latest trends are bringing back that which is long forgotten. You are likely to be dealing in kraft paper, mustaches and braces. Or two: you're a party girl who is used to enjoying life at music festivals and other fun events and you are wanting to include this in your wedding. You have probably already booked an awesome dj and lighting and will likely be having a fun photobooth and send off sparklers. Maybe even a couple of glow sticks will get thrown into the mix.

There are however no rules when it comes to weddings and maybe the nostalgic look just isn't for you. Perhaps you prefer the more traditional, elegant and classic wedding. But that is certainly no reason not to include a coffee bar. There are many options when it comes to setting up a bar and it really just depends on the overall look  of your wedding. Two popular choices are the sleek and chic modern bar or the ornate and opulent bar. 

If you are opting for sleek and chic this probably means you are looking at having a more modern wedding, but you are not willing to throw tradition out the window. You want your wedding to be current, but without having to break away from the traditional idea of weddings as classy, elegant affairs. At your wedding we are likely to find lots of white, fairy lights and cursive font.

If you are more inclined to having the opulent bar, chances are everything at your wedding will be big,fancy and ornate. You are far more likely to stick with the traditional imagery of a high class wedding and it's very feasible to expect to find draping, chandeliers, massive floral arrangements adorning your venue and you in a ball gown wedding dress.

There is however another less classic take on setting up a bar for coffee at your wedding and that's to go for the wooden bar and create a rustic look. If this idea appeals to you the rest of your wedding is likely to include mason jars, hessian and wooden crates.

If you still haven't found what you are looking for in terms of your wedding coffee setup then perhaps it is the push cart that you have in mind. The smallest and most maneuverable of the wedding coffee stations, push carts tend to be cute and quirky. It makes me think of ferris wheels and candy floss at the fair. If you are choosing a pushcart for your wedding coffee the rest of your wedding is likely to feature cute hand made items, a candy buffet and bubbles for confetti.

There's a wide array of options when it comes to setting up a coffee station at your wedding and it's entirely up to you as to what kind of wedding you want and this will dictate what the best coffee setup will be for you special day.
