With the heart vase design, you can add flowers by making the top flat and using it as pedestal or you can cut into the ice and cut out an interior space.

This single block design would work for a Mother’s Day brunch or Valentine's Day, but it could also be easily adapted for weddings. It may have been previously published in a newsletter, but I’m not sure.



In most cases, I don’t cut into a sculpture to add flowers. Instead of hollowing out the ice, I generally will make a flat surface on the top of the sculpture. The floral is usually arranged on a flat plastic dish, and then is placed on top of the sculpture, with a napkin between the plastic dish and the ice to keep the flowers in place. With this design, you can hollow out the top section for floral, or you can make part of the top of the sculpture flat, making the sculpture like a pedestal.
