Balloon piñata
In fact, the idea of creating the piñata belongs to the Spaniards, who spread it throughout Latin America. There are several ways to entertain guests with a piñata:
- Place sweets inside a large transparent ball. Organize a competition in which the winner opens the piñata.
- Instead of sweets, you can put interesting tasks for guests. It can also be wishes or jokes.
- Small gifts that guests receive at the end of the evening or as a result of a drawing are also suitable as a filler.
To make it easier to put objects into a ball, use an expander. This could be the neck of a plastic bottle, a watering can, or any other material at hand.
Red balls
Interestingly, red jewelry is in great demand among newlyweds. The color red is considered a symbol of love and passion , which is why it is so popular among loving couples.
Red balloons are an indispensable detail at almost every second wedding, especially if they are made in the shape of hearts. Such decorations can be used to decorate any part of the room, and no matter where they are attached or hung, they will always be in place.
The selection of balloons is huge. The future spouses just have to think carefully, consider all possible options and decide which balloons will show off at their wedding.
Ghosts
For them, it is best to use white opaque balls, but for Halloween, orange ones that imitate a pumpkin will also be appropriate. Making such a cute ghost is very simple - all you need is the ball itself and a black marker or felt-tip pen. Even a child can draw a ghost’s face, and how much pleasure a child will get from the very process of creating such a festive decor.
For greater realism, we attach long paper strips to the bottom of the ball - you get ghost clothes.
Illuminated balls
Glowing balls are a recent trend, but they are gaining more and more popularity. They beautifully highlight the general lighting and create an atmosphere of romance and tenderness.
It’s easy to make glowing balls - after all, these are ordinary latex decorations, only with LEDs and batteries.
Balloons
This option is suitable for those who like to surprise and charm. There are special capsules inside the latex, when you press them the balloon begins to inflate without your help. In addition to being a stunning sight, such decorative elements are also good because you can take them with you to on-site registration.
Just imagine this wonderful show! As soon as the newlyweds are declared husband and wife, a multitude of luxurious multi-colored balls begin to grow behind them . And so that the newly minted spouses do not have to do the pressing themselves, you can assign a “special task” to witnesses.
Flowers and butterflies
Similar figures can be easily created from small balls. At the same time, for a flower to look really elegant, all its petal balls must be the same size, so you will have to practice a little in inflating the balls evenly)
A composition of several such figures looks the most original and elegant. You can highlight an entire wall in the room for this decor or decorate the background of a candy bar with it.
And this video shows how you can create a whole bouquet of daisies yourself:
