All about balloon arches

Today I'd like to talk more about a balloon arch


This is a simple balloon spiral arch that I just did today.

Balloon arches are great, they look astounding for entrances, they tell people that a event is going now, it shows that this is the way to "enter" and it can also portray a companies image or a event's theme. There's so many plus points for a balloon arch. 

And these are the things I love about a balloon arch. and the things I hate about a balloon arch is the tearing down. It may take us 30mins - 1hr 30mins to complete a arch, but it only takes 5 - 10 minutes to burst everything and dismantle the arch. It just feels as if all the hard work is gone. (but the popping is fun)

But some people may think that a simple arch is very simple, and it doesn't really matter if it's going to be teared down sooner or later. 

Wrong, there's no arch that's simple. To me that is, personally I feel that a simple arch is equally challenging as if it's simple, the flaws are easily noticeable. So it's very important that each and every balloon size is accurate and precise.  

So to conclude, There's no arch that's simple. Every arch is a balloon artist's hard work and effort to make it beautiful and presentable so that it'll reflect well on your event or function, and our professional image.

Balloon Prince and Princess themed customised columns

One of my friend, Korin, just turned 21, and her boyfriend, Marco, asked me to help him out with the decoration of the hotel, to surprise her girlfriend. It was truly sweet and.. surprising? ;)

I was there 3 hours in advance to set up the columns, balloon ambiance and the helium clusters.

Here's the photos! :D

I also did a few balloon helium bouquets, but I didn't take photos of it. Haha, but it's alright, because I know that they really enjoyed the balloons and unfortunately that I've to leave earlier that was not able to stay for the surprise, because I have to go to my parents house. 

But I know that the party went extremely well! The birthday girl was shocked to tears and I'm sure she really enjoyed herself that day. :D

To be honest, birthdays are insignificant to me. I don't really like to celebrate it. But one thing I'm sure of is that I like to make others enjoy their birthdays. :D

Bye!

SISTIC!

Sistic balloon arch 




Just a simple arch, with a few balloons tied around for a celebration ambiance. It's a quick and easy spiral arch, with a bit of customisation as you can see from the arch, we placed a the logo on the arch to represent the arch. :D

My team and I had lot of fun doing it as what I always say, balloons make people happy! And when it makes others happy, it makes me happy as well! :D

Alright! I shall update more next time! Good bye! Off to run some errands!

Balloon decoration updates!

Hello everybody! I'm back to update my blog!

Did a lot of balloon decorations, and helped out a few of my fellow balloon artists with their balloon decorations, it was indeed a very fun and exciting week!

Did get much of the photos, so I'm just going to post as much as I can post. :D

First up! What I have here is a mask arch. It wasn't easy to do, as there's a metal frame shaping the mask, so I spent almost 30 minutes doing the frame for the mask before we can weave the balloons onto the mask.

And the weaving part was the most strenuous, it took my friend, Jazz, almost 2 hours+ to complete the base of the mask.

After adding all the details, we took around 4 -5 hours to complete the mask. Didn't take any photos of the process of the mask as we were rushing for time! But I did take the outcome!




It was a super tiring decoration, to handle with the outdoor wind, the sharp edges of the doors and lastly stabilising the humongous mask. But we manage to pull it off eventually! :D






Next! I did another decoration with a another artist and we're doing a very cute theme for my client..

It's a Little Twin Star theme balloon decoration! :D

Here's the photos!







It was actually supposed to be separated, the balloon columns and the balloon display, but we ended up putting them together because they really look really good together. :D

And I really hope the mummy loves this balloon decoration that we did for her daughter! :D

I hope everyone had a wonderful new year! I shall go get some rest now. Goodnights! :D
