- If you inflate the balloons in inches to the same size as the arch in
feet, it seems to be in proportion.

Nice tip, thanks.
While we're on the subject of what works for us ..... I've found it a useful
practice when making Heart Arches or Garland Love Hearts to make all my
bends in the 'rod' at 45 degrees.
For want of a better example half the Heart looks simular to Superman's
logo.

The 45 degree angle allows most garlands to be presented with an even curve
and a spiral can be easily maintained.

The length of the rod between each bend depends on the required size of the
finished heart.

Well it works for me.
