Wedding Post: Shut Up and Carve!

One of the most unique prizes that came with the Green Wedding Giveaway was a complimentary ice sculpture. Last week, Tim and I met Murray, the owner of Wicked Good Ice at his artist's studio in Dover, NH.  He has “carved” out his niche: he makes professionally styled ice sculptures for events including weddings, anniversary parties, and birthdays (ice luge, anyone?)
He showed us the equipment he uses for this type of work. It seems like a lot of heavy lifting and working in a 7-degree freezer. Not really something I could ever see myself doing, but he's really good at it. Unfortunately, we were dressed for summer in Maine and not the seven degrees it held strong at in the workroom. Check out this video of Murray doing a quick demo of his work.

Murray was kind enough to show us how he comes up with some of his fantastic ideas for his ice sculptures on his white board.  And we did some planning of our own.
Question of the Day: Any guesses as to what sort of ice sculpture we’ll be having at the wedding?
