On the 2nd September 2017 we made the impossible possible. After a meeting on site and some serious brainstorming we fou
Why?
The happy couple wanted the 300 guests to enter the villa gardens
for the cocktail reception but not see the stunning outdoor dining area. This was when the idea of a wall made from balloons came
about.
The challenge!
Not only did we have to build the wall under pressure for time, in
hot temperatures with a slight breeze interrupting us, we also had to dismantle
the wall, piece by piece, in front of the 300 guests to make the grand reveal.
How did we do it?
5 staff, over 2000 balloons, 8 hours and a lot of burn marks on
our finger tips. We built the frame the day before on site, then inflated the
balloons on the day and individually tied each one to the frame. To dismantle the balloon wall we removed each panel piece by piece with ease in just a few minutes.
Who for?
Just to add to the pressure, this wasn't for your average bride
and groom, this was a Royal affair. A mix
of royalty from Belgium, Germany and Austria with a few international guests
witnessed the marriage of Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau, the Grand Duke's niece, and
Antonius Willms.
Interesting fact
We passed a lovely afternoon with the family
while creating a practice piece in the garden and we had no idea that they were
a Royal family! We would like to wish the beautiful couple a lifetime of
happiness and thank them for inviting us into their home and intrusting us with
their vision.
The balloon wall making and wedding alike, went without a
hitch.
Imagination really is the limit, if you can dream it, we can create it!
