Winter weddings in North Georgia can be magical. The crisp air, possible snow, and cozy atmosphere create a special setting for your big day. At Cold Creek Farm, we've seen many beautiful winter weddings. Here's how to plan yours:

Choosing Your Date

Winter in North Georgia runs from December to February. Each month offers something different:

• December: Holiday cheer, but busy schedules
• January: Quiet month, often the coldest
• February: Hint of spring, Valentine's Day romance

Pick a date that fits your vision and guest availability.

Dressing for the Weather

North Georgia winters can be cold. Plan your outfits accordingly:

For the Bride:

• Long-sleeved dress or add a wrap
• Closed-toe shoes or boots
• Consider a white faux fur stole

For the Groom:

• Velvet or wool suit
• Add a vest for extra warmth

For Guests:

Let them know it's a winter wedding so they can dress warmly.

Decorating for Winter

Embrace the season in your decor:

• Use pine cones, evergreen branches, and berries
• Add warmth with candles and fairy lights
• Choose rich colors like deep red, forest green, or navy

Planning the Menu

Warm, comforting food works well for winter weddings:

• Start with a hot soup
• Serve hearty main courses like roast beef or chicken pot pie
• Offer warm drinks like hot chocolate or mulled wine

Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

Weather Considerations

Be ready for different weather scenarios:

1. Have a backup plan for outdoor events
2. Rent or buy umbrellas for possible rain or snow
3. Check road conditions and inform guests if needed
