Ice sculptures may be considered a luxury but this unique and elegant piece of decor can be incorporated into any wedding.
The price of wedding ice sculptures depends on two things, size and intricacy. There are some small, simple designs that work great for small budget weddings and there are large, elaborate sculptures for upscale, big budget affairs.
Check out some of these options:
Flower vases made of ice are extremely beautiful and relatively inexpensive.
Having an ice bar is one of the most exciting and practical ways to use ice sculptures. They add an element of fun at the bar and they’re a very memorable part of the wedding. They can be quite pricey though.
Traditional ice sculptures are usually one piece that is the center of attention. These are a perfect choice for a big wedding with lots of decor – flowers, lights, crystals, chandeliers, candles, the whole nine yards. If you have a big ice sculpture like this, which can cost a large chunk of your budget, will likely be well-lit and sparkle across the room.
One of the latest trends in wedding ice sculptures is the ice cake. In many cases the wedding cake is mostly a decoration piece anyway. Newlyweds won’t be able to cut the cake, but it’s a great option for trendy couples who don’t care for the extra calories.
Ice sculptures work in any wedding season. Get creative and add some ice to your big day.

Dino Di Saverio gives GTA brides some advice on another important step for a bride and groom…buying their first house!
Now that you’ve made the commitment to get married and start a life together, the next biggest decision you’ll make is finding that perfect place to call home. The one mistake that most young couples make is thinking that they can’t afford a home, and convince themselves that their only option to becoming first time homeowners is to rent or lease. With the high cost of weddings these days, many couples find themselves struggling to put money aside for a home as they watch their savings deplete. For some, the financial burden of saving money is compounded by having to repay school and/or car loans. Needless to say, the idea of even thinking about buying a home is a daunting one, especially for those who think that in order to buy, they must have at least $80,000 lying around for a sizeable down payment.

Congratulations! You’re getting married! It is a wonderful time but there is so much to do and decide on and let’s face it, time flies.

From the ceremony to the center piece it is hard to find a balance between your personal creative touch and the amount of time left in your day.

Brides everywhere are looking for ways to make their wedding a smooth process. They implement processes that make wedding planning just a little easier. Receiving gifts from guests is a process that needs organization. Initially, a bride does not think that getting presents is something that needs planning but the transportation of gifts from the venue to your home and the process of writing many thank you cards for specific items takes some organization. It must also be considered that there will be some returns or exchanges for a few gifts, especially if there are doubles. How can a bride make this long process a little easier? Especially with a possible honeymoon a day or two after the wedding!

When writing your invitations, brides have a lot to consider. For every guest invited, one has to state whether each person that is invited is inclined to bring a guest. Furthermore, each family may bring their children. One invitation can evidently be the official invitation for five people. Brides must incorporate the extra guests in their final list. Some couples may not be interested in having children at their wedding. As a bride, do you want babies, small children or young teenagers at your wedding?
