Balloons
Let’s talk balloons, as there are a million different types and styles and ways to go about ballooning. But first i want to mention quality. Yes we are all aware that we can get cheap Chinese balloons off amazon and ebay for £15, and for the most part they do serve a purpose to the general public.
But in my experience they are very bad quality. There are several issues with cheap ebay/amazon balloons. First the colour that is advertised is never the colour you receive, so if you want a certain look, you’re never going to get it off ebay/amazon. Secondly, they are just bad quality. What i mean is, they can often have tiny holes in and go down once tied together. They are also hard to handle when trying to tie the necks together, i’ve had countless balloon necks pull right off whilst trying to tie them together. Thirdly, when tying together if the neck doesn’t pull off, they can burst whilst trying to manipulate them in to clusters and quads, because the latex used is not thick enough or of sufficient quality to allow the stretchability (if that’s a word) needed to do, what i need them to do.
This is why i will not use cheap Amazon/ebay balloons. I stick to industry standard well trusted and quality balloons from big company brands such as Qualatex, Sempertex, Tufftex & Gemar. These produce quality balloons that i can rely on. Yes they are more expensive to buy, but as with everything else in life, you get what you pay for. And i prefer the durability & quality of the big brands than the stress and hassle of the Chinese imports. Ok balloon rant over :o)
Balloon Arches
Whether you want a half-arch or full balloon arch, in muliple colours or a single colour, i can help you out.
I can do balloon arches for kids parties, adult parties or corporate events, for entrances around doorways or part of a larger display.
See our balloon arch page for full details.
Balloon Hoops
Balloon hoops can be used to create stunning backdrop displays for your events, and are often used as the central focal point of the room.
A balloon hoop can be customised to your desire. You can have a half hoop design with pampas grass and foliage in conjunction with colourful drapes.
Or you can have a full balloon hoop with flower accents and a neon sign or a personalised acrylic disc. You are really only limited by imagination. And if you’re struggling for ideas, just tell me your colour scheme and let me create!.
Balloon Table Centres
My go to for table centres is the classic 3x helium balloon cluster with curling ribbon and weights. My balloon clusters are the perfect centre piece for any table and are a relatively cheap way of decorating a large room and helping to enhance the party style atmosphere and ambience of any event. I charge just £9 per balloon centre in any 3x colours you want.
I can do larger helium clusters with 5x or 7x balloons upon request at +£3 per balloon. So a 5x balloon cluster would be £15, a 7x balloon cluster £20.
Balloon Columns
Mostly used at corporate & charity events to enhance door way entrances, or either side of a stage to add a bit of theatre to the room.
Balloon Columns can be topped off with foil balloons, such as hearts & stars.
Or they can be personalised for birthdays and corporate events with larger latex balloons on top, which can incorporate vinyl writing for corporate logo’s and or personalised messages.
The beauty of balloons is that you are not limited to simple designs. They can literally be fixed to any solid object, which allows for many different varieties of balloon displays and set ups, including background displays, centrepieces or just simple balloon towers.
We at Light Up Event Hire can do pretty much anything with our balloons and would love to work with you to create your dream display. From balloon hoops, balloon walls, balloon towers and center pieces. You are only limited to your imagination. If you have an idea that you would like to bring to fruition and you do not see it on this website, send me a message and a picture of what it is you want to achieve, along with colour ideas and i will help you achieve it – regards Gaz.
