Alternative ideas
Maybe you could have one of your floral arrangements frozen in a piece for the head table or smaller sculptures for every table? Integrate the design with a theme. Almost anything is possible, so be creative. Below are some common functional ideas.

Frozen serving trays.

Chill shrimp or display fruit.

A drink luge or shooter at the bar.

Punch bowl or ice cream holder.

Chiller for wine bottles or full ice bar.

Misconceptions
You may have heard that ice carvings are expensive and they don’t last long. Keep in mind that you can get a carving for as little as one hundred dollars, and that most sculptures will last up to six hours.

Questions
Does the carver have necessary staging equipment and lighting?

Will they work with the florist or caterer to set up an integrated display?

How experienced is the carver?

Ask for an portfolio of their work. You will gain an understanding of what to expect and probably find some great ideas.

Make sure setup and teardown is included in the price you are quoted.

Considerations
For outdoor weddings, select a design that will endure a hot summer day.

Carvings can weigh 300 pounds, so make sure the table or staging area is adequate.
