Arches, Columns, Bouquets, Clusters

(above is a still from the NBC TV show set in New Jersey called "Mercy". We did many of these packed arch columns for a Saint Patrick's episode filmed in some fairly dire conditions in, January, I think. It is amazing what the crews for these shows can do... including clearing snow like pros)

-----

Balloon decorating typically consists of creation of several design elements following a particular color scheme and/or theme. These elements are arches, columns, bouquets, clusters and even single balloons including themed mylar and latex balloons.

Above are examples of packed arches. Colors can be made to band or spiral. Outdoors, wind conditions can greatly affect the viability of using a packed arch.

Single arches are made of single balloons on a line. They can be tightly or loosely packed depending upon wind conditions and distance the arch needs to travel and budget constraints. Tightly spaced equals more balloons equals higher costs per distance to be covered. Clusters of balloons might be spaced to cover a long distance as well.

Columns are balloons arranged around a rigid base to form a truncated column. These are often capped with a mylar theme balloon.

Columns can be connected to other columns via single arches to create a larger balloon display.

Balloon bouquets are a number of helium (or helium/air mixture) filled balloons tied to a weight. The number of balloons can vary. The length of the line can vary (meaning the height of the bouquet can vary from that of a table centerpiece to a floor-standing balloon "tree"). The line used to connect the balloons can vary (it is usually white or colored ribbon). The arrangement of positioning the balloons can vary to form different shapes.

The blue, teal and silver balloon here [below] are in a "duplet-chase" formation. 2 balloons side by side stacked 3 high.

Generally speaking, table centerpieces are formed by four balloons connected at equal lengths to a weight that is either a theme weight, or hidden in a themed gift bag with colored gift paper reinforcing the color scheme. Then a fifth balloon, usually a mylar themed balloon, floats above the other four.

A balloon tree, on the other hand, is generally a weight tied with 6 or more lines with balloons positioned as the line rises to overlap color through the entire vertical height. A mylar theme balloon may be part of this arrangement.

Balloon clusters are generally air-filled arrangements of 12 balloons. Air filled clusters in a controlled environment may last a month or so and are a cost-effective way for businesses to decorate for holidays and sales and the like.

Clusters are generally hung from lines connected to the ceiling in some way. The pattern of colors used can create daisy shapes when viewed from one side. In fact, a half cluster is often connected to a railing to make a nice balloon daisy.

Weddings

Balloons can be used to transform simple halls as well as grand ballrooms to match a color scheme or theme to make your vision a reality.

Dance floors can be defined with arches connected to packed columns.

Table centerpieces can be made to float above your guests and allow them clean sight lines to each other as well as the dance floor and the wedding dais and the cutting of the cake.

You might consider balloons for other wedding-related events like Engagement Parties, Bridal Showers, Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties, and Rehearsal Dinners.

Popular Themes

Balloons come in many colors. Balloonatics stocks many of them. But the longer notice we have for a particular job, the better the match we can make for a color scheme. Balloon decorating for a theme party is often a combination of wise choice of a color scheme and choice of specialty balloons. Latex animal print balloons with stars printed on them is popular as they oven compliment other themes. Spring theme, summer theme, winter theme and fall theme are all popular as are basketball and football theme parties. People have beach theme parties, even weddings with beach themes. We once did a wedding in the theme of the Mexican Day of the Dead.

Color themes are the most popular. White and gold and/or silver is popular and elegant. So is a black and white party where everything and everyone is dressed in black and white. Sweet sixteens in pinks and homecoming parties in school color balloons. Corporate and Company colors are often selected for sales and promotional events and grand openings.. as are reds for red-tag events and the like.

Themes, particularly for popular copyrighted subjects like Disney characters or superheroes should also come with some notice to obtain the needed pieces. We have done Power Ranger, Winnie the Pooh, Disney Princess, Mickey Mouse, Dora the Explorer, Unicorn and Rainbows and Star Wars parties.

Mylar balloons come in many sizes, shapes and themes. We can display names or numbers in various sizes (larger costs more). There are theme balloons for every event, season and holiday. There are Christmas balloons, Chanukah and Kwanza balloons... one day we may see Festivus balloons. Any holiday you can think of, there are very likely balloons for it. But

We could make an effort here to list all the possible themes covered by balloons, but it is just enormous. New designs of theme balloons come out every season, just as old designs become unavailable as production of the product ends.

Our best advice is to simply ask what theme you are most interested in and we can take a look at our catalogs and source websites to see what we can find. The longer lead time you give us, the more likely we can provide you with a choice of balloons that match your theme.
