The winter wedding season is very close, and one of the most important points at a winter wedding is how to keep your guests warm and cozy, especially if the wedding is partially or completely outdoors. The first thing you can do is let them snuggle up with pashminas and scarves, give them mittens and beanies if necessary and of course you need to organize some hot food and drink stations and bars to make the guests feel warm and cozy. Here are some ideas for such bars, I hope you’ll get inspired.
Hot Chocolate And Cocoa Bars
Hot chocolate and hot cocoa are the most popular drinks for fall and winter – nothing keeps us as warm and tastes as good as these drinks. A hot chocolate bar is a must for every winter wedding, despite of the theme you’ve chosen, you can style it for your wedding. Grab a vintage sideboard or a wooden table and cover it with a plaid tablecloth or table runner, add fir branches in plaid thermoses or a fir garland to make the table more winter-like. Snowy signs, small snowy Christmas trees, copper mugs, cozies on chocolate tanks and banners dedicated to your winter wedding are right what you need – mix and blend these decorations as you like. Serve a variety of desserts that you like and voila, a perfect warming up bar is done!
If you are having a rustic wedding, a stand with mugs made of wood slices and copper tanks is a great idea.

S’mores Stations
There’s nothing better than s’mores for winter, whether it’s a winter, Christmas, New Year or any other wedding. Organize a gorgeous s’mores bar to make people socialize and to eat delicious sweets that everybody loves. Make a cool rustic bar of a wooden table or a sideboard, with wooden boxes filled with pebbles and place marshmallows on sticks around. Add cookies and other desserts you like, and the decor can be done with simple chalkboard signs – who needs much decor when there are lots of yummy things around? You can also combine this station with a hot chocolate bar in one, and this is will be a popular spot in your wedding venue.
You can also arrange marshmallows on sticks if it's a rustic or camp wedding.
