Phew, what a tiring day! Shawn and I were at a bridal expo and we spent the entire day looking at tons of possible choices pertaining to wedding favors, wedding invites, wedding venues and so many more that my little wedding planning notebook is crammed full with ideas! Will post my findings later but for now, I’d like to ask if some of you brides-to-be have considered ice sculptures for your wedding reception? Shawn and I were at this ice carving booth and brought back a comprehensive brochure detailing the things we need to consider before we order an ice sculpture.
For instance, what sort of ice carvings do we want to have at the wedding? The typical swan carving with their necks intertwined? Ugh, no way. No offense but I find it tacky. And not the bride dancing with groom sculpture either! I am however warming up to a simple ice framed portrait of Shawn and I. I spoke to Jen and she said that she knew a friend who ordered an ice carving of a slot machine at her wedding! She said that she met her spouse in a Las Vegas casino, right next to a slot machine! I think that’s lovely, choosing an ice carving that means something to the couple. Will have to think more about this issue and see what ideas we can come up with.
Meanwhile, to other brides who may want their very own ice sculptures, you can also consider customizing your own carving or even create one, DIY style. You may also want to order an additional ice punch bowl to hold the drinks and keep it icy cool. But don’t just stop there! You can use the ice bowl to contain your salads, seafood and cut fruits. Some ice sculpture companies also offer to freeze flowers or small fruit pieces inside the sculptures for added effect.
Besides that, another thing to be considered is the placement of your sculpture. Do you want to display it on the buffet able, guest book table or prepare a table on its own? No matter your choice of location, it is however important to select a place near an electrical outlet so that your ice sculpture can be given ample lighting to highlight it dramatically.
The possibilities are endless. Gonna go brainstorm with Shawn about our wedding ice carving.
