Here at The The Manor in West Orange, our in-house master ice sculptors \u2013 a father and son team who have been part of our family for over 30 years \u2013 have created gorgeous ice sculptures for display in our <strong>wedding banquet rooms<\/strong> and at our <strong>outdoor garden weddings. <\/strong>Our sophisticated, style-savvy New   Jersey and New York City brides and grooms consult with our ice sculptors in order to select and co-design beautiful ice sculptures matching their wedding\u2019s themes and colors, to accent their cocktail hours, their <strong>reception d\u00e9cor<\/strong>, and even their location entryways to make a fabulous first impression on guests.<\/p>\n<p>This resurgence of stunningly-cut, intricately-detailed and beautifully-lit ice sculptures as seen in our <strong>wedding <\/strong>venue makes the couple\u2019s <strong>wedding d\u00e9cor <\/strong>stand out with the kind of attention to detail that\u2019s often seen at celebrity weddings and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knowlesrestaurants.com\/\">royal weddings<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are the top trends in ice sculpture designs for your wedding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Welcome guests to your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toptentopten.com\/topten\/nj+wedding+venues\">indoor wedding venue<\/a><\/strong> by placing a 5-foot or taller ice sculpture on a gorgeous table set right inside the entrance doors. Surround the ice sculpture with low-set fresh flowers in small glass or crystal bowls or vases to carry the \u2018ice\u2019 effect across the entirety of the table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose a unique theme and shape for your <strong>wedding d\u00e9cor<\/strong> ice sculpture. Our Passaic  County, Morris  County, Somerset  County and other regional wedding couples have recently looked beyond the traditional oversized heart to such wedding symbols as intertwined wedding rings, wedding doves, and wedding swans. With a <strong>garden wedding theme<\/strong> in mind, many wedding couples have commissioned ice sculptures in the shapes of butterflies, hummingbirds, floral bouquets, and seasonal and cultural shapes may also be expertly carved and intricately finished in a unique design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Engrave your names, initials or monogram on one, central, focal-point d\u00e9cor piece to personalize your ice sculpture \u2018collection\u2019 throughout your <strong>reception rooms<\/strong> and <strong>wedding gardens, <\/strong>or feature your full names on this one, large \u2018centerpiece\u2019 sculpture, while the additional, smaller ones feature just your initials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Lighting effects now make the ice sculpture a true work of art, with ice design artists training <strong>d\u00e9cor effects lighting<\/strong> on the ice sculpture from above, and also from <em>within<\/em> the ice sculpture. White, pastels or bright colors are used like paints on an easel to create the perfect, complimentary effect for an ice sculpture, and <strong>wedding d\u00e9cor<\/strong> takes a modern twist when eco-friendly LED light blocks are placed inside smaller ice sculptures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Speaking of smaller ice sculptures, it\u2019s becoming a beautiful <strong>wedding d\u00e9cor trend<\/strong> to set small, individual ice sculptures as the centerpieces on each of the <strong>wedding room <\/strong>guest tables. Choose an identical style for each table, or select different theme-coordinating designs \u2013 such as different flowers or different butterflies \u2013 for each table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Set themed ice sculptures on your buffet tables, as d\u00e9cor on food stations, and also behind your <strong>cocktail bar. <\/strong>The design of each sculpture is sure to impress in its size and detailing, as well as its sparkling in the room\u2019s lighting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A fun aspect of a cocktail party bar setting is offering a more refined twist on the \u2018ice luge\u2019 that you might see in more casual lounges or collegiate nightclubs. In this more upscale presentation, our <strong>bar managers<\/strong> pour flavored vodkas or other liquors down an intricate, impressive ice luge and into a stylish serving glass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Also at the bar, our ice sculpture masters can create ice blocks in squares or cylinder shapes, fill them with ice shavings, and place cone-shaped vodka glasses or stemless drink glasses in them for a stylish any-season drinks presentation. Especially when they feature a glowing block of colorful LED light below the ice shaving surface, giving this ice sculpture a magical, gemlike effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>The Manor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like many aspects of wedding d\u00e9cor, ice sculptures have returned to the top trends list after a brief absence, having gotten a style makeover and a big boost in intricacy of patterns and presentation.
