Wedding Balloons – Cheesy or Magical?

March 10th, 2010

Well….let’s face it- our first thought is TOTALLY CHEESY…..and our first thought is of those ridiculous balloon archs… 

But wait. If done properly they can absolutely be MAGICAL….

The key is to not over do it, unless you are going to really go all out. Sporadic balloons here and there are not going to cut it. After all a wedding should be much more exciting than a little kids birthday party.

I decided to search online (the best place to find inspiration for just about anything). Take a look at what I found. All of these ideas I think can be done in many different ways and can really make a wedding stand out from another..in a good way!

redcarpAn AMAZING product….perfect for the high style bride.

Petal carpets may be pre-laid before an event or unraveled fully in tact upon arrival. As each petal is affixed, runners and carpets can be just as easily rolled up and transported without any mess or fuss – leaving way for quick transitions.

We were approached the other day by a very nice woman named Carlee about her company: Green with Envy - and were fascinated by her business model and ideas. Carlee and her partner plan weddings and events in the San Diego Area…Just wanted to give them a little shout out! :)
