Who is NEW at Ice Decor?
Who’s new at Ice Decor? What do mountain climbing, piano playing, uni-cycling, marine firefighting, small vessel safety and ice carving have in common? Absolutely nothing… except for Isaac Woewoda. Time to introduce the latest addition to Ice Decor. About 6 months ago...
Wedding Show Feature: Crème de la Crème!
I remember when Ice Decor was involved in our first wedding show. The business was just a baby back then, and any call regarding our new venture was quite exciting! This time it was an opportunity to be apart of the Cinderella Wedding Show at the Princess and the Pea...
Ice for Every Occasion…
Two deliveries tonight. With Halloween around the corner it’s all about skeletons and pumpkins and other gory things that people seem to celebrate this time of year. I have an hour in between so I camped out at my favorite Denny's downtown on Broadway so I could...

Ice on the move…
We're sitting on the ferry making our leisurely way to Vancouver Island with our cargo of ice. I like this kind of day. Maybe it’s because I spend so much of my time focused on the ice (or the computer screen) in front of me that being out in the public is a...
Ice sculptor applications welcome…
Ice sculptor applications welcome Just like it is with everything else, Ice Decor is growing. Many years ago now I visited a much older and wiser mentor in our industry with the question; when should I quit my job and do this stuff full time? We had just begun to...
All about Ice Bars…
All about ice bars She was on her way out of the venue after a long wedding reception. We were there waiting for the guests to disappear so that we could take down the ice bar. As she passed by she touched the top of the bar and went, “Oooh it’s ice.” We smiled,...
