LET'S MAKE AN ENTRANCE

Welcome back folks...last time we introduced you to the exciting world of balloon decor. Today, we are going to go more into detail with balloon arches.  These arches, which are sometimes described as balloon garland, can be used to decorate entrances, walls or just about anything your eyes desire. 

Balloon arch decorations are made up of balloon clusters.  In case you don't know balloon clusters are, they consist of four or sometimes five balloons tied together that form a shape similar to a four leaf clover.  These clusters can be linked together with a monofilament line or what is also know as a fish line.  After connecting many clusters on this line you start to form your garland that can be used for both arches and columns, which we'll discuss next time. Arches can be filled with either air or helium depending on the visual effect your looking for, the size, location and the equipment being used.

Balloon arches have been used for years to decorate doorway entrances, backdrops behind a seating area, dance floor canopies and more.  They can be used indoors and outdoors and make fabulous decorations for any event or special occasion.  Another arch widely used for backdrops and entrances is the string of pearls arch, that's right, named after your classic string of pearls necklace. This arch is formed by individual balloons tied to a monofilament line roughly about a foot apart, which is what gives it that string of pearls look.  While these lines come in different colors, using the clear one will give you the best visual effect. The great thing about this arch is by using different balloon sizes and shapes, tulle or curling ribbon you can give it a beautiful and unique look.  There are many different designs that can be done with balloon arches to get the perfect effect for your event.  Just take a look at some of the ideas below and you'll see what I mean.
