Ice Bars

Big nightclub and horse racing events will often feature complete ice bars as a functional centrepiece. But these can also be very effective at wedding receptions. Before you put down a deposit for an wedding ice sculpture, consult your reception location. It is a rare, but some will not allow ice sculptures, for various reasons. Check first to avoid any problems that could arise from this. If you want a complete ice bar at the reception keep in mind that they are bulky and need to be moved with care. Consider using a larger space but also remember that it will need to fit through the entranceway!

Wedding ice sculpture centrepiece designs

There are many common designs of wedding ice sculptures. These include swans, hearts and doves. But for something a little different consider designing something yourself. Be sure to match an ice sculpture to the overall theme of the wedding. We'd suggest taking a cherished photo or two to your sculptor and designing something together.

Other uses for ice at your wedding

The best thing about using ice at your wedding is that ice centrepieces don't always have to be huge sculptures. Using Iceballs instead of traditional cubes is a cute addition to the table and will make each drink that much more memorable.
