Hot Cocoa Bars & Faux Fur Wraps: Cozy Touches for Your Winter Wedding
Small winter details that make a big impact—both visually and experientially.
Winter weddings are the perfect excuse to lean into cozy, comforting touches that go beyond just looks. They create moments—warm sips by a fire, soft wraps against a chilly breeze—that your guests will remember long after the vows.
If you’re planning a North Georgia winter wedding, where the mountain air can bite and the evenings get early, these small but impactful details can make all the difference.
☕ Hot Cocoa Bars: More Than Just a Drink Station
A hot cocoa bar is basically the winter wedding equivalent of a signature cocktail. It’s interactive, cozy, and can be styled to fit any wedding theme.
Think:
Classic cocoa with whipped cream, marshmallows, and peppermint sticks
Boozy options—like spiked hot chocolate with Baileys or peppermint schnapps
DIY toppings like crushed candy canes, cinnamon sticks, or chocolate shavings
Rustic mugs and wooden trays for that mountain lodge vibe
❄️ Faux Fur Wraps: Stylish Warmth for Your Guests
Nothing says winter wedding glamour like a faux fur wrap—plus, it keeps your guests warm and feeling special when the temperature drops.
Ideas to try:
Provide wraps in your wedding palette for bridesmaids and guests
Offer them as favors so guests can keep the warmth long after your day
Pair with elegant gloves or vintage-inspired hats for outdoor photos
🔥 Fireside Lounges: Where Comfort Meets Conversation
Create cozy corners with plush seating, blankets, and a roaring fire (or high-quality propane fire pits if open flames aren’t allowed).
These lounges become natural gathering spots, encouraging your guests to relax, mingle, and warm up between dancing or dinner.
Our venue’s stone patios and fireplaces make it easy to create these intimate settings, perfectly blending rustic charm with winter comfort.
🎁 Winter Wedding Welcome Bags: Thoughtful & Practical
Set the tone with welcome bags packed with:
Hand warmers or mini heat packs
Cozy socks or mittens
Gourmet hot chocolate sachets
A little note with local winter activity suggestions (hello, hiking trails and cozy cafés in North Georgia!)
Working with local artisans and shops adds a personal, sustainable touch your guests will appreciate.
🌿 Natural Decor That Feels Like Home
Think textured blankets tossed over chairs, pine-scented candles, or centerpieces with cotton stems and dried botanicals.
These details tie your whole day together, making guests feel wrapped in warmth—and surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Cozy Is the New Chic
Winter weddings are a unique chance to blend style and comfort. The right cozy touches don’t just keep guests warm—they invite them into a space where they feel cared for and connected.
At our North Georgia venue, we love helping couples layer in these thoughtful details so every moment feels as warm as a mug of cocoa.
