<< hi all,
 would like your input again if you can help. a client has asked for some 
type 
 walkway (outdoors on front lawn) created for a wedding rehersal party. she 
 suggested 3 stakes(not sure what type stakes and how i would cover them) per 
 side of a 12' grass stretch attached with ribbon or tulle or whatever and 
 balloons somehow intergrated and maybe bows ending at the door. not sure if 
i 
 should suspend helium balloons above stakes or what. Any suggestion are 
truly

Hi Mildred,
a thought for the above item....  3 poles spaced out in a row..... stuck into 
the ground or anchored in a bucket of cement or a heavy base.....  with a 
cloud 9 air blown at the top of the poles....  the poles are connected by 
ribbon, tulle, lace, floral garland, what have you...  Do this on both sides 
to make a walk way  (path for people to walk down)....  you can dress up the 
could 9's any way you like... tuck flowers in between the balloons,  wrap 
ribbon around the poles from the top down to the base,   Use large planters  
or  clay pots for the poles to come out of to look like a topiary tree...  
many examples of this type of thing are shown in various balloons & party 
magazine.

Hope that helped some.
