What’s What in Helium Ballons

The world of balloons can be a confusing place, with so many different types to choose from. It’s often hard to know where to start. Flick through our handy images to guide you on your way:

Foil balloons

Personalised balloons - £4.50

Made of: metallicised nylon;
Float time: around a week;
Shapes: stars, hearts, circles;
Colours: all;
Can they be personalised: oh yes;
Cost: plain foil £3.00
personalised foil £4.50
personalised foil with drawings/images £10.00
giant numbers £9.95
giant 36″ hearts/stars with a message £15
pre-packaged, pre-printed occasion foils from £3.95

Please note, foil balloons are particularly sensitive to temperature and may not always be suitable for outdoor use. On a very cold day, the helium will compress and make the balloon look saggy. On a very hot day, the helium will expand – balloons burst in hot cars, and as a result of extreme change of temperature. On a rainy day, the balloon will sink! Foil balloons are not suitable for release – read more here.

Spiral Arch

spiral arch

A spiral arch or column is a brilliant way to turn any event into a bedazzling show of colour.  They are made from hundreds of latex balloons, and are formed to create a spiral (or other) pattern throughout the garland.  We can also create balloon sculptures and names with balloons. Please get in touch for a quote, as the cost very much depends on size.

String of Pearl Arch

sop
A string of pearl arch can be used to jooj up smaller areas of a room such as an interior doorway, small stage or top table at a wedding party (or even the cake table). Two SOP arches can also be used to great effect criss-crossed across a dance floor.  As with all arches, price depends on size and length, so please get in touch for a quote.
