According to The Knot, the average U.S. wedding now costs $35,000, and couples are being intentional with every dollar. On average, $2,700 to $3,500 is dedicated to decor alone, with a growing focus on pieces that are both personal and experiential.
At The Ice God, we’re seeing that shift firsthand. Our clients want ice to do more than just sit there, they want it to start conversations, and deliver a moment their guests will remember.
Top Trends
Espressotini Ice Luges: Custom cocktails like espresso martinis continue to dominate wedding bars, and we’ve seen a spike in luges designed specifically for them. Couples love the impact of a pour paired with a sleek, custom-carved track.
Interlocking Rings Ice Sculpture: Simple, symbolic, and elegant. These sculptures have become a favorite for both weddings and engagement parties, often placed at the bar, entrance, or beside the cake.
3D Dog Ice Sculpture: Over 40% of couples now include their pets in the wedding in some form, and we’re seeing that reflected in ice. One of the fastest-growing requests is for detailed, 3D sculptures of beloved dogs, especially at engagement parties and welcome events.
Seafood Ice Displays: The Mid-Atlantic region loves its seafood, and that’s showing up at weddings. Ice displays featuring oysters, crab claws, caviar, and ceviche have become a staple, especially for outdoor receptions and brunch events. These multi-tiered displays offer both function and visual impact, keeping food cold while drawing guests in.
Interactive Installations: A recent Zola study found that 70% of couples prioritize creating a unique guest experience. We’ve expanded our offerings to include ice thrones, graffiti walls, photo cutouts, corn hole, and live sculpting. These elements bring energy and interactivity to any wedding or celebration.
Cocktail Ice: Engraved ice cubes featuring the couple’s initials have grown so popular that we’ve expanded our offerings to include freeze-in photo cubes. These are often used in signature drinks adding a personalized touch that guests immediately notice.
