not like the single arch I pictured earlier

Weddings probably seem like a constant business — after all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], people are always getting married — but those close to it know better. Every year, there is always downtime — usually Christmas until February. And the recession isn’t helping matters either — spending on wedding reception flowers is down to an average of $369 in 2009 from $385 in 2008, according to the Wedding Report.

Balloons were actually the first thing I learned when I began decorating with my mom, some 15 years ago. Balloons are not difficult,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but there is a technique to the more complicated pieces. Florists and balloon artists also employ special machinery when doing a lot of balloons for big parties — like measured helium distributing machines and wire frames to create balloon shapes. However, you can create a pretty festive atmosphere by just blowing up a lot of balloons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], enough to cover the ceiling, and tying them with extra long streamers, like in the photo above.
In the Los Angeles area, my mom often went to Conwin’s in Glendale. We got helium tanks, balloons and all sorts of related accessories and books you can buy. You can also get those rental tanks there.
Here’s another example of what you can do with balloons at your wedding reception. I’m not sure where this is or who did the decorations, but it looks pretty nice to me and not plain at all.
But unlike the wedding industry, which I’m sure is going to try and figure out ways to make brides come back to vendors, I’m going to suggest another way to save money on decorating your reception. How about balloons?
Another lovely photo and arrangement by cheerfulballoons on Flickr (and they have a lot of great pictures if you need inspiration). This arrangement is a bit more complicated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as you can tell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it is an example of what you can do with balloons if you want to get more elaborate.
(Heehee, what a great photo!) This balloon heart, with the spiral — see it? — is built around a wire frame. The construction of the balloons is very similar to the way you construct a balloon pillar or the thick balloon arch — four balloons of two colors twisted together and put on so that they create that spiral effect. You don’t even need helium for pillars or hearts. With a pillar or the balloon arch (not like the single arch I pictured earlier),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I twisted the balloons around fishing line. Constructing these types of pillars or arches are actually pretty easy, if you know what you’re doing. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I did find one example on Flickr of a balloon heart with lights — very pretty, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Lights can overheat and pop the balloons.
This type of balloon arrangement, an arch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is also very simple and easy to do. In most of the work I did with my mom, I usually used one or two alternating colors for balloon arches. I did not usually use printed balloons either. The trick with a balloon arch like this one is to make the spacing even, which can be difficult for a novice (which I was).
