Starlite Christmas – Christmas party decorations in a shared Marquee

Even when your Corporate Christmas party is being held in a “shared” venue, it is possible to contrive an atmosphere within an atmosphere, demarcating a specific area for your own party!

For a Corporate Client using a shared venue, unique balloon decorations, table decorations with other accessories and accents will help to promote the feeling of being special and sharing a more intimate venue with colleagues.

Balloons in the traditional Christmas colours of red, gold and green were utilised to create a fun atmosphere around the tables reserved for Balloon Inspirations Clients within this Marquee venue shared with other Corporate parties.

For a fun-filled night, our interactive balloon decorations, in the guise of balloon “stick-men” graced the dance floor along with the guests while impressive balloon columns helped to delineate the extents of the dance floor.

“A Winter Wonderland ” in the Tropics ? was the response everyone informed about the party theme for a Children’s Christmas party held in Lagos, Nigeria not so long ago…

The conundrum presented by the sweltering December weather along with the theme’s allusion to the coldest season of the year in more temperate climates was a relished challenge for the designer at Balloon Inspirations. The party was held in a large party venue, framed with off -white textile swags, enhancing the transformation into a winter wonderland.

Silver foil balloons sculpted into large “disco” balls were hung around the ceilings along with balloon star-bursts to help fill the large space.

Santa’s grotto fully epitomised the “winter wonderland” theme with the predominantly white balloon décor, silver tinsel and artificial snow.

The table centrepiece pictured below is a variation on a theme as shown here: . The black and gold colour theme easily alludes to elegance and style…

The elegant form of this centrepiece makes it suitable for a Corporate dinner party.

The centrepiece features a floral motif carried all through from the small petals at the base culminating in the large petals at the tip. Crystals and gold beads make the centrepiece sparkle in the daytime, while cleverly placed lights will light the centrepiece up at night, creating yet another dimension of interest to this cleverly designed table centrepiece.

Balloon Inspirations was recently called upon to create Venetian themed décor for a High School Prom in Essex. Of the several possible ways to introduce the romance of Venice to the venue of the School Prom, Balloon Inspirations chose the mystery of “Venetian Masks” to create the ambience of a night in Venice.

A framed balloon entrance tunnel was created just behind twin “Venetian totem poles” to usher in the Class of 2011 through into their own little corner of “Venice”. The prom decorations comprised entirely of Gold, white and black décor tastefully accented by lighting and accessories. The star of the day were the intricately formed and lit table centrepieces comprising mystery masks and other balloon accessories.

The high ceilings of the prom venue were taken advantage of to create spectacular ceiling decorations. These easily helped to bind all the individual elements of the prom decorations into a cohesive whole – from the entrance tunnel/canopy, through to the mystery mask table centrepieces, the stage décor comprising more Venetian totem poles and other floor standing arrangements.

“Winnie – the pooh” themed balloon decorations were prepared for a Child’s birthday party in South East London, UK and comprised of large and tapering balloon swags suspended playfully from the ceiling and culminating in a curiously variegated  3 foot large exploding balloon, popped remotely at the appropriate time during the celebrations.

Additional large (3foot) balloons were suspended from the ceiling using the  contrasting texture of feather boas beside the smooth roundness of the balloons.

In addition to the ceiling decorations, table decorations also featured miniature “Winnie-the -Pooh” balloon sculptures set upon delightful balloon table arrangements.

Undersea themed balloon  party decorations

Balloon wall with Celebrant’s initial…

A birthday party for a four year old took place recently in a Restaurant within a Shopping Mall in North London.

An Underwater party theme was chosen for the party and Balloon Inspirations had the pleasure of liaising with the Client to transform the restaurant into a spectacular party venue.

Guests were ushered into the large room by the couple of “smiley-faced” clown balloon sculptures placed strategically on either side of the entrance. A second purpose of alerting passers-by to the Restaurant was also served by these fun sculptures.

A large balloon wall (with accents including the celebrant’s initial) built behind the birthday cake table created a primary focal point for the room, whilst a large Octopus balloon sculpture spread it’s balloon tentacles across the ceiling from it’s balloon reef placed in a corner of the room.

This, in addition to the other short columns hanging from the ceiling formed the aerial décor for the room as table top space was at a premium – reserved for the exotic dishes to be served at the party.

The pictures featured below give an overview of the decorations.

Winter wonderland theme - Balloon trees make great table centrepieces

Balloon trees make great table centrepieces

It was definitely a White Christmas at a Corporate Christmas party held in South Essex in the UK recently.

Balloon arches in white and silver spanned the dance floor, anchored on large, white balloon Christmas trees which were topped by large foil stars.

Table centrepieces comprised small, white balloon Christmas trees on each table. The table centrepieces were lit to cast a bright blue glow and topped with a reflective silver foil star balloon. Balloon star bursts and other festive ceiling decorations helped to “suspend ” the high ceiling to create a more intimate scale.

The balloon colours and lighting, complemented by the furnishings carried the theme through the entire room and was further buttressed by the choice of scenery décor strategically placed around the room.

Balloon sculptures featuring Toy soldiers

Balloon Sculptures in the form of Toy Soldiers guarded the entrance to the mini- Santa’s grotto at a Christmas party held in Essex in the UK recently. These balloon “Toy Soldier ” sculptures were loosely based on the army of soldiers from the Nutcracker Story which have been a staple feature of both residential and commercial Christmas decorations for a very long time.

A single balloon arch in the traditional Christmas colours of green and red spanned the lively and festive coloured toy soldiers balloon sculptures to delight the party goers while various balloon decorations, including large (jumbo) balloons hung from the ceiling to complete the festive look.

For Christmas party decorations, balloon sculptures create immediate impact as they easily capture the hearts of the themes they are alluding to. Christmas decoration props and elements such as Christmas trees, wreaths, Santa Claus sculptures and lots more can be created entirely of balloons (with small accents of other materials).

We have over the years created several versions of this jolly seasonal figure and the images below show many of our Christmas balloon sculptures of Santa Claus:
