Balloon design and photos by burton + BURTON
A
creative and sophisticated use of
air-filled balloons, this inventive
table runner, or "garland," forms a
wildly versatile (and budget-friendly)
foundation for a holiday tablescape, buffet
piece or mantel décor. You can create it in
myriad colors and color combinations, lengths,
and thicknesses, as well as in component
sections. And in addition to placing this design
horizontally, you can also position it vertically,
to create a "waterfall" cascading off the ends
of tables or mantels. You can even form longer,
thinner versions into a round "wreath" shape,
if a table shape dictates. Coordinating helium-
filled balloons can also float above the base
design, to create additional drama and height.
is design concept provides endless possibilities!
Most important among the many styling options
for florists are accessorizing the garland with
fresh flowers, placed into water tubes and tucked
among the balloons, as well as stems of foliage,
miniature plants and gorgeous ribbons.
