$600 for a shaped ice block…?? 
Re: Ice Sculptures..
Instead of the ice sculpture, I'd suggest a chocolate fountain. My neighbours had one at their son's wedding, it was a really big hit with the guest and an really good ice-breaker (no pun intended) to start a conversation with other guests.
Re: Ice Sculptures..
at least a cake or chocolate fountain or something similar is useful AND looks nice. ice sculpture other than looking nice seems pretty useless kinda like megan fox.
Re: Ice Sculptures..
i read about chocolate fountains (or was it fondues?) and how unhygeinic they are with people dipping in their fingers/nails.. lol.. since then, i highly avoid it.
Re: Ice Sculptures..
ice sculptures aren't totally redundant... you can get one made as a drink luge, where the drinks are poured through the ice at the top and the glass is filled at the bottom... i went to a desi wedding about a year ago where they had a whole bar made out of ice like this...

OOOh.
then how abt a magnificent cake/cupcake tower/ etc.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cake. homer simpson
Re: Ice Sculptures..
Shay, in the UK when you hire a chocolate fountain, its supplied with two attendants who dip the fruit into the chocolates for you on the skewers - so maybe you could look into hiring attendants to avoid people dipping their fingers in there?/? (because the chocolate seriously is yummy).
i think they look awsome 
if i was to get one it wud be somthing like the following…

i think megan fox is hot. ice sculptures-not so much.
Re: Ice Sculptures..
LOL...
hahahahahahaha i jst noticed that!!!
i'm getting an ice sculpture. they are a great accent in my opinion for the cocktail hour/reception area because while people are mingling and eating appetizers, they can appreciate different elements/details in the wedding.
i'm keeping it simple and getting our monogrammed initials in a cool design/symbol and that will be our logo for the entire wedding hopefully!
Sounds cute! They look nice near the colorful appetizers; saw that at a New Years Ball once:)
Re: Ice Sculptures..
We had ice sculptures at both the mehndi and the baraat. I loved the ones on the mehndi but the baraat ones were omg so horrible 
I like this one though, an ice sculpture stand:
You can even do a cupcake tower on it… love cupcakes!
Re: Ice Sculptures..
^ that one is so pretty! what if it melts super fast and the cake falls!? :X
Re: Ice Sculptures..
haha they dont melt super fast.
my mehndi was outdoors in August in khi. They were up for atleast 5-6 hours, pretty much the entire time the guests were there.
Re: Ice Sculptures..
Ooh that one is nice sumo...u might have just converted me to ice sculpture :-p

Here is Asiana Mag take on Ice Sculptures:
Re: Ice Sculptures..
One of the “new” things I came across were centerpieces made out of ice rather than having a single huge sculpture. The tricky part is to make sure the water that is draining into the hidden tray does not overflow. Custom trays have to be made for each table with this design. Then ice columns can be made a lot of different ways and sizes. Couple them up with ice chiavari chairs and enjoy a truly a spectacular ice table!
