For an eye-catching way to add exquisite beauty to any wedding reception, consider an ice sculpture. The sculpture can serve as a centerpiece on the buffet table or dessert table. It can be functional, as food can be served out of it. If placed at the head table and illuminated by candlelight, guests will be overwhelmed. Ice sculptures are indeed crowd pleasers.
The most popular sculptures include bride and groom, a heart, and dove or swan centerpiece. Personalized sculptures are also popular. Some examples are a fighter plane for an air force lieutenant, an automobile for a car dealer or a tractor for a farmer.
While ice sculptures add a touch of elegance, they are often more extravagant in appearance than price. Prices vary, but a typical piece runs $300 to $500. However, drip trays and other maintenance requirements are generally included in the cost, so all the couple needs to do during their reception is enjoy the sculpture's beauty.
