Right now there are artists using chainsaws, hand saws and other tools that sculpt and refine huge blocks of snow. Every year, this International competition attracts countries from around the world to create temporary works of art.

"Our family members were a great help in executing our vision, and we would not have pulled it off without them. And certainly things that we had planned for did not happen exactly as envisioned on the day of the wedding, and that is where a day of coordinator would have been helpful. By the morning of the wedding, I just decided to relax.

So my advice for brides is this: your wedding is about marrying the one you love, not about perfect details. It's easy to forget this when looking at magazines and wedding blogs. Set priorities,plan in advance, ask for help, and then relax."
