I'm always on the lookout for creative and stylish ways to personalize weddings, so when I picked up the July/August issue of Special Events Magazine I was instantly drawn to the idea of individual ice sculptures on guest tables. Even though the event featured in the magazine was a corporate fundraiser, ice sculpture centerpieces makes perfect sense for weddings as well.
Fete Perfection works with two of the most talented sculptors in the industry and I know if I asked, they would carve creations unique to the couple and the style of their wedding. Of course the venue would have to be ideal for ice, so backyard tented weddings in July or August, not so.
I would also suggest having ice sculptures as centerpieces on about one third or one half of the guest tables. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing. I would suggest a mix of ice with floral and candlelight centerpieces. In addition, ice sculptures should be up-lit which adds drama and depth.
So next time we're either managing a tight budget or stylizing a wedding to fit the design and decor, I'm going to suggest ice sculpture centerpieces. I think they'll be a big hit and certainly should be remembered long after the ice has melted.
We borrowed these images from the Events Department - thank you.
