Ascending Pearls Arch
by Jan Iiams, CBA

   
  This monochromatic color scheme sets the stage beautifully for any elegant occasion. Using the darker colors lower in the double bubble arch and placed low in the arrangement with lighter colors toward the top, lends visual balance to the decor.
   

 

 
   

Secure Styrofoam into the container. Insert wired stems into the foam and wrap vine onto the stems.

   

 

 
   

Set the Dual Split-Second Sizer to inflate single 5 inch balloons with nitrogen in asceding sizes.  Place the larger balloons at the base of the arrangement and the smaller sizes at the edges and top of the design.  Secure the balloons in place with a low temperature glue gun.

   

 

 
   

Push floral stems firmly into the foam, filling spaces and covering the mechanics. Place larger blossoms near the base, and smaller flowers glued to the stems more lightly near the top.

   

 

 
   

Check your work making sure the eye is lead through the design. Balloons and florals should be placed more heavily at the base and more lightly at the top with a dash of visual rhythm and motion in their placement. A last minute check will insure a polished, professional design when in place.

   

 

 
   

When creating the graduated helium arch, use the Double Bubble Outlet for perfect graduated sizing of the inside pearl balloons. Simply adjust the Dual Sizer settings as you build the arch.

For instructions on creating a double-bubble arch using the Duplicator 2, see our Step-By-Step project Peacock Arch, or Crystal Narramore's article Double Bubbles Made Easy.

   

 

 
  Jan's Tips:  

* Double stuffed balloons appear more beautiful and create a monochromatic color scheme with more variety and interest in the lighter and darker shades.

* Because the centerpiece is air filled, the design can be created days ahead of the event.  Simply place the design in a plastic bag to avoid oxidization and to protect it while transporting it to the decor site.
