Ice Sculptures & Luges For Weddings And Parties

Amazing ice sculptures can add that touch of class to any function. Crystal clear and tinted ice statues have adorned classic hotel foyers and many movie premiers for years, and now, thanks to new technologies over the last few years, ice sculptures have dropped in price, risen in quality and availability, and can now last longer before they melt. Ice sculptures can come ready made and off the shelf from the freezer, or with some companies, you can design your own ice sculpture, which can take up to a month for delivery depending on what you want.

Ice luges are the ice sculptures for drinking parties. The idea of a ice luge, is that you pour in the drink or shot in the top of the luge, then it cools as it quickly travels down and through the luge, until the chilled liquid exits from either the bottom or the side, and straight into the mouth of the waiting person, excellent for any party and great fun.

Ice Luges

An ice luge is a big block of ice, which has been moulded into a shape with between one and four channels going through from the top to the bottom, for the alcohol to be poured into. The moulds themselves can be bought, so as you to make as many ice luges as you wish, as long as you have a large freezer. Luges come in many shapes and sizes, there are the children's ones like stars and numbers, then there are the adult ones for hen parties, stag nights and student parties, these are usually in the form of a male or female torso. Themed parties such as fire and ice, guys and doll, or angles and devils use luges rather than ice sculptures, many times, as they help to get the party going by bringing groups of people together. They can be the focal point of many a party, until late on in the evening. As you can see on the right, this is a head luge, where you have to get your drink from the lips, male and female heads are available. There are also the ones where you receive you drink from a little lower down, say no more.
