unique gift baskets for valentines day

Inconceivable as it may have seemed, (given the time and money spent in preparations), Christmas 2010 has come and gone, a new year has been ushered in with new goals, dreams and aspirations. This is an opportune time to consider our relationships with those near and dear to us. January flies by, then comes February – the month when St. Valentine’s Day is celebrated the world over.

Valentines day may be celebrated either intimately or alongside a group of lovers, say at a specially themed Valentines’ Day dinner party, prepared specifically for the occasion, while some people prefer dining together at home, going to the movies and or other places that are special to them as a couple. More likely than not however, gifts and cards are always exchanged on the 14th of February every year, to mark the day, to let someone (who may otherwise be oblivious) know that they are loved by you or simply to show appreciation for those whom you hold dear to your heart.

Balloons and accessories put together as a delivery bouquet are particularly effective in sending the message out loud and clear – and as they come in various shapes, sizes and with various slogans/messages imprinted on them, your true intent (witty, sentimental, over-the-top or minimalist) is easily captured and relayed to your delighted recipient. Valentine’s Day themed balloons lend themselves to creating special Valentines Day themed party decorations with the use of special balloon shapes, figures, printed balloons lighting and accessories.

Serving London, Essex and the Home counties of the UK, Balloon Inspirations.com specialises in creating unique and exciting Valentines Day balloon delivery bouquets and gift baskets which make a lasting impression on the recipients long after the end of Valentine’s Day.

Corporate Christmas Party London

“Spectacular” Christmas Party in Central London

 

As the month of November draws to a close and the chill of winter begins to gather in earnest in the UK, the brightness of Christmas lights, decorations and Christmas merchandise in stores and malls all over the Country bring a constant reminder that the season of good cheer, festivities and parties; that the Christmas season is upon us and yes, it’s time to plan the all important Christmas party!

While planning the mouthwatering party food and deciding the number of guests to cater for, it is important to pay special attention to the Christmas party decorations.

Specially themed Christmas party decorations with balloons and lighting will help to really lift up the ambience of any room or venue and will set the tone for the whole party, encouraging guests to get ready for a really exhilarating time! Your guests will remember the buzz of excitement they felt as they entered the room, long after the party, as long as you have taken the time to plan the decorations well.

Your Christmas party could be planned around a seasonal/traditional Christmas colour scheme, event, movies or even company official colours (for the Corporate Christmas parties).

At Balloon Inspirations serving London, Essex and the UK, we specialise in creating exciting party balloon decorations for corporate clients including those planning Childrens’ Christmas parties and we utilize balloons – which may incorporate clever lighting and themed accessories altogether creating an amazing atmosphere for our clients and their guests.

Balloon Inspirations create interactive decorations for your guests to enjoy, reaching beyond creating an atmosphere with the decor. One of the most frequently requested are Exploding Balloons. These consist of large (3 foot) balloons each filled with a minimum of 100 small (5 inch) balloons as well as confetti. Exploding balloons create a truly spectacular effect when popped over a room of unsuspecting guests at your events.

Very popular for weddings (usually signalling the newly-weds’ first dance) and other celebrations, exploding balloons create a truly remarkable experience for unsuspecting guests.

Exploding balloons linked together in a series can be rigged to go off one after the other or simultaneously.

For New year parties in clubs and restaurants, exploding balloons make exciting contributions to ushering in the New year with a bang!

This concept is also used in creating large exploding Balloon Walls which are particularly effective for ‘unveiling’ ceremonies.

In another beautifully romantic gesture Balloon Inspirations was privy to last weekend, a very appreciative husband organised a surprise 40th birthday party for his wife. Guests were asked to don white attires (with gold accessories), mirroring the white and gold colour scheme chosen for the venue decorations.

General decor of the hall comprised elegant gold and white table centrepieces topped with mini number 40 foil balloons along with some contrasting black accents which gave the occasion an air of chic elegance.

 

the proposal2

Romance was definitely alive and kicking last weekend when in a move more reminiscent of “old school” romantic movies rather than the modern day individualistic society, a young man orchestrated his marriage proposal to his sweetheart on the grounds of the North London primary school where they first met.

… Yes! I will marry you…

Balloon Inspirations was called upon to create an atmosphere of romantic intrigue, achieved by creating a pathway lit with lanterns, culminating in a lit balloon arrangement.

The balloon arrangement comprised balloon columns topped with lit 3 foot balloons on either side of a 3 foot heart shaped balloon, softened using tulle and ribbons…

…and the lady’s answer?…

Yes!!!…Phew!
