Balloon Flower Arch

I had a client that requested a simplified Balloon Flower Arch as it would be less expensive (less balloons). I created this as an alternative.

It looked great with the pole wrapped in green and the extra flower clusters in front of the table.

The flowers had just one side that looked like pic and on the other side they just had one green 11 inch balloon sized to approximately 6 inch. I then used un-inflated 260s to tie the flowers to the pole. Keep this idea in mind when you need to cut costs for your clients.

Balloon Decorations for your event – where to start?

Twisty Kristy — Wed, 09 May 2012 08:33:05 +0000

I get calls for Balloon Decorations for events quite often – everything from Baby Showers to Bar Mitzvahs and they usually want to know what I can create and the cost. A good way to start is to decide on a theme. Do you want a circus theme for a 1 year old’s birthday party? Or does it need to be more elegant Balloon Decorations for a Sweet Sixteen party? This is the most critical piece to have decided before talking to a Balloon Artist.

Once you have your theme decided, contact the Balloon Artist and explain what you want. Do you want table centerpieces, a large arch, some balloon columns or a special one of a kind balloon sculpture? You can ask them to send pictures of ideas for your theme. You can also do research to get ideas as well. Keep in mind that if you choose to have columns, arches, centerpieces, etc… you will need to budget realistically.

A Balloon Artist may ask you what your budget is so they can give you the realistic cost for your event. Costs can vary greatly depending if helium is needed compared to air filled balloons. The Balloon Artist may suggest some alternatives that will fit your budget and give you a look that will impress your guests.

A good place to look for a Balloon Artist in your area is the www.BalloonHQ.com Artist Directory. You should check out their portfolio and decide if they can create the look you want.

Good Luck! Twisty Kristy

A 6 foot Princess?? Why Not!!!

A little girl was having a “Tangled” party – and what better way to celebrate than a full size Princess Rapunzel!! She is holding her dear Chameleon friend as well. This was such a fun party and the little girl loved “her” Princess.

The Tardis was built!!

With the help of Brenda and Joe Hatch I was able to make my own Balloon Tardis. The doors opened to allow people to take pictures inside. I took it to eAtomic Comics at Chandler Fashion Square Mall where my fellow Whovians were able to pose and get a picture in the TARDIS.
