Using Balloons For Centerpieces At Gatherings Balloons are everywhere you look nowadays. Have you noticed? Thanks to some resourceful California types during the 1970’s, balloons have become a decorating art form. No longer limited to the “big drop” at the end of political conferences, balloon decor is now featured at events ranging from serious corporate meetings and weddings to festive retirement and children’s parties. Balloons can be found in all colors and sizes, are made from latex or Mylar, are filled with air or helium, and can be shaped into archways, cartoon characters, bouquets and even more. Professional Services You can literally find hundreds of balloon decorating suppliers if you do a simple search of the Internet or open a local phone book. Many of their advertisements offer a wide variety of fun alternatives to more traditional decorating. Balloon artists are able to design decor suitable to any occasion by selecting appropriate colors and themes. The color schemes possible are limitless, especially considering the many colors balloons are offered in. For serious functions, more monochrome or subdued palettes are more appropriate. Wedding events can include the bride's color choices and be shaped into archways, beautiful bouquets, canopies or entrance tunnels the guests can walk through. Balloons can be utilized in corporate settings as backdrops or incorporated into the logo design, setting up a festive environment. Businesses frequently use balloon decor for grand openings, holiday decorations, or special retail events. Furthermore, political groups remain big proponents of the balloon drop/release to signify the end of conventions. Birthday, retirement, and graduation parties lend themselves to bold bright colors and foiled Mylar. Many beloved cartoon characters have their very own Mylar balloons for example Mickey Mouse, Superman, Spiderman among a good many others to enhance a theme party for a special little boy or girl's birthday celebration. Schools were always on the balloon bandwagon, but now the arrangements can reach enormous proportions during homecoming, prom or graduation. Mascots, goal posts, and starry skies all shaped with balloons in school colors adorn countless gymnasiums and hotel ballrooms. Exquisite affairs may showcase elaborate centerpieces and topiaries. A soft romantic glow can be accomplished for nighttime galas using balloons containing led illumination. Fanciful and stunning columns and arch ways can also be created using balloons. Based on the environment and the weather conditions, typically a professionally created balloon formation will stay afloat for around 12-18 hours until; the helium losses its energy. There are special coating products available which will extend the “float life” of helium balloons, but for multiple-day events, air-filled balloons will often be substituted for helium filled. For up to a week air filled balloons will look good but will not be able to float unless they are filled with helium but for complex designs a structure will be necessary to support the design. Since Mylar can be reused and latex balloons are biodegradable, the environmental impact is relatively low luckily. DIY For do-it-yourself types, balloons are all around for bulk purchase.
