As well as this years pride balloon walls I’m providing a walking float at a number of parades, the first being Birmingham Pride. This NATWEST framework is old school, we used to do aluminium shapes like this in the 90’s before foil balloon lettering was introduced. Each letter is bent […]

27 Balloon Walls
2019 Is going to be the summer of 27 balloon walls. As I build each installation I’ll post photo’s here. In the end I think it was 30 walls as some were added and Chester was built twice due to the parade being postponed. Hopefully you can see as you […]
Deutsche Bank
We installed 2 of these entrance arches at Deutsche Bank central London office receptions. Including Chrome Green to give it some lift. The 2 entrances are different sizes – 1 huge main entrance and smaller doors towards the back of the building. This required arches with 7 poles and 5 […]
Kerfuffle
We helped launch Kerfuffle with decorations at Tiger Tiger (Haymarket) and The Grosvenor (Park Lane). When building sculptures time can run away with you. Its risky to attempt to build shapes like these 100% on site so I like to build the day before and transport everything ready made. It’s […]
Hot Air Balloon
Here’s the hot air balloon we made at Coombe Abbey for a 1st Birthday celebration. The basket was made using Quicklinks and we left the back open for children to walk in for that instagram photo. This was part of a bigger decoration, you can see more examples of the […]
Candy Cane
Some more Smiggle action but this time Candy Cane decorations in Oxford Street, Bluewater & Kingston. They look fantastic, the entire team loves them! Thanks for always doing such a great job 🙂
VIP
We were back in Liverpool to help decorate an evening VIP event, installing these arches using 16″ Gold & Black balloons. It was great to see the below photo in the Liverpool One office (the 2015 balloon drop).
BBC
Here’s a Pudsey balloon arch and 16″ Yellow balloons in bunches for the BBC One Show.
16v11
Here’s another entrance at The Alexander Stadium for Uk Athletics using 16″ balloons. Here’s an example of the same location with 11″: This shows the difference between 16″ & 11″ balloons on a 7 pole arch. Bigger arches are sometimes too flexible so I helium filled the 16″ Red & […]
Mamma Mia
For the launch of the movie “Mamma Mia Here we go again” the theatre show had a special night. I installed this entrance arch and some bunches in each bar to dazzle up some preview screens of the new movie. This was an install at 5pm and de-rig at 11pm….. […]
EID 2018
This year we completed another 20 arches for EID working over 3 days. Again we were not sure if EID may land on Thursday 14th June so we had to make all 20 arches on the 13th. Note to self for next year – 3 crew made 10 arches in […]
Greggs
Decided to go with colour ‘Golden Rod’ rather than ‘Orange’ for this Greggs arch – good decision.
