Consider a creative, branded ice sculpture to add a little wow to your next party. Beyond the simple ice swan, ice sculptures can be carved into the shape of your or have a logo tastefully etched into the ice (which looks great with your theme color light shinning up from beneath). At weddings I think it looks so nice when the seafood is arranged on an ice bar. Done right, the ice sculpture can be so interesting you don't need to invest in other decor for a cocktail party.

A few creative ways to enjoy ice sculptures:
Clear Memories' branded ice bars (click to expand)
* Bar Luge - Guests love to watch their colored liquor flowing thru the ice luge into their martini glass. A typical luge will run $500 but you can go smaller or larger.
* Bar - Creative Memories creates actual bars made entirely of ice. The bar can have a logo etched into the ice or a unique design of your choice. 4 foot bars start at $1600, and Creative Memories can go as large as you have space for (imagine a 32 foot ice bar).
* Bar Back - An interesting addition to your bar, add an ice sculpture and focus on uplighting for a great visual while guests order drinks. And around $300 you can always find budget for this.
* Seafood Platter - Caviar bars have become popular and seafood looks gorgeous set up on sculpted ice or an ice bar. For a smaller budget consider an open clam shell sculpture to present your oysters.
* Individual Dessert Bowls - gorgeous way to present berries or chocolate mousse.
* Centerpieces - Ice makes a beautiful unique centerpiece, with or without flowers.
* Glasses - I got this idea while visiting Stockholm's "Ice Bar" - as if it's not cold enough already-they created more ice. There is a dress code here, you are provided a groovy silver parka and full gloves. When you enter the Ice Bar, it takes your breath away. The floor, the bar, even the stools are 100% carved ice. Then you order one of 12 Absolute Vodka drinks served in, you got it, a thick tumbler made of ice. No tonic needed, the ice melts slowly into your drink. What a fun experience.
