What you’re looking at are the prettiest blocks of ice ever. They may just be the best thing for all your wedding ice needs. Iowa farm bride Maria explained how they were (surprisingly) affordably made…

Months before the wedding my mother started collecting plastic bottles. She filled them with water and [fake] flowers and put them in the freezer. The morning of the wedding we cut off the plastic to reveal the blocks of ice. They were both pretty and took the place of having to buy bags of ice for an outdoor summer wedding.
