Tips & Ideas for DIY Hot Cocoa Bar

Last month we posted a blog about having a hot cocoa bar at your wedding and it turned out to be one of the highest read blogs we have ever had.  One of Utah’s great photographers Black Iris Photography recently shot a wedding where they had a DIY Hot Cocoa Bar that we wanted to share with you.

Having a hot cocoa bar at your wedding reception has become a “Hot” item.  There are many ways to have a hot cocoa bar.  Here is a fun idea on having different kinds of hot cocoa where your guests can actually choose their flavor & mix it together themselves.  Having the flavored cocoa powder labeled is a must.  In fact EVERYTHING in your hot cocoa bar is best to have labeled and better yet in your wedding colors & design.

I love how this bride framed her flavors.  This is a great & easy way to showcase what your cocoa bar offers.

Simple instructions is a must for guests.  Otherwise they may not put in enough cocoa to make it chocolatey enough.   Great idea to give your guests a measuring guide.

Having lots of different toppings is always a plus.  You can have as many or as few as you’d like & if at all possible color coordinating is always a bonus.  If you have toppings that aren’t in your wedding color scheme make sure the containers & labels are so that it will keep your wedding colors flowing.
