ice sculpture

Cold carved centerpiece

A sculpture carved from blocks of ice, typically displayed at weddings, banquets, and other formal events.

Ice sculptures range from simple decorative shapes to elaborate swans, logos, or human figures.

They're inherently temporary—meant to be admired while they slowly melt.

The ice sculpture of a dolphin was already dripping by the end of the reception.
