This blog posting is dedicated to all those lovely WINTER brides, who've decided to take that leap of faith and say I DO regardless of the leaf color or the weather.  We applaud you!

This photoshoot was featured in I DO magazine for the 2011 Fall/Winter issue and was such a treat to be a part of.  Parker J Pfister is one of the world's top photographers, but we presented him with a challenge by asking him to do this shoot at the Masterpiece Ice warehouse.  Of course, Parker was up for it and the limited space and hot temperatures aren’t felt at all when you look at these amazing pictures.

Masterpiece Ice Sculpture Inc created this sofa & side table completely of ice.  It was absolutely stunning & what an original concept!

We created this tablescape with the help of beautiful dinner plates & glassware from Classic Event Rental Co.  This sweetheart table makes quite a statement.

And here are our master carvers...Ryan McCurdy & Ryan Spangler.

RUSTIC ELEGANCE PHOTOSHOOT

Featured in I DO magazine...

Capture the magic of your setting in every detail.  Rustic touches paired with beautiful, refined fabrics and vivid flowers create an extravagant setting while still being very down to earth.  This theme of rustic elegance thrives through the union of rich colors cast against the natural setting of mountains, stone and earth.  And remember; although you may be hosting your event indoors don't forget to bring the outdoors in, with natural exterior elements that can further inspire.
