Frosty ICEHOTEL wedding in Sweden

The photo below shows a bride entering the chapel of the ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjaervi, Sweden, for her wedding. Around 150 couples tie the knot at the chapel each winter.



As with all ice hotels, this structure will melt away in the spring.

Ice hotels are really just oversized, extravagant igloos.

Ice hotels take about five weeks to build and are made of solid blocks of ice. Inside, ice hotels glitter with elaborate ice furniture, ice bars and even ice saunas.

Colorful lighting make ice hotels look more like magical snow castles than frigid arctic dwellings.

Sweden's ICEHOTEL is built by a river in the village of Jukkasjarvi in Swedish Lapland, 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Creating the ice hotel each winter takes 10,000 tons of river ice, plus 30,000 tons of snow. The ice hotel has an ice sauna, ice chapel, and a famous Absolut Ice bar that's different every year.

Guests sleep in special sleeping bags on beds made of snow and ice and covered with reindeer skins.

The season for Sweden's ICEHOTEL is early December to late April.
