I want my recepetion ceiling to look like the picture I have attached. How do I do that??

Hi Cassie,

Beautiful picture! And quite an unusual way to decorate the reception hall with balloons.

From the photo it seems that you simply need to blow up various sizes of white and clear latex balloons and attach them to a fishing (also called monofilament) line in various, irregular intervals.

Creating the clusters or strings of balloons should be relatively easy.

The question is how to attach them to the ceiling. The best solution would be to span several lines of wire across the ceiling and then attach the balloon clusters to it.

If the ceiling has metal frames or structures, you could use the so-called Clik-Clik magnetic ceiling hanging systems.

But as you'll need to hang so many clusters to achieve the effect seen in the picture, this could become quite expensive.

Hope that helps,
Margit
