Behind the Scenes: Creating Our Spooky Halloween Balloon Arch
Every October, we get to unleash our creativity and go BIG with Halloween! This year, one of our favourite projects was a freestanding spooky balloon arch, packed with latex balloons, foil spiders, and creepy details. But what does it actually take to make something like this? Here’s a peek behind the curtain…

1. Planning the Design

Before a single balloon is inflated, we sketch the colours, size, and “spooky extras” like spiders and webs. The aim is always the same: maximum impact when guests arrive.


2. Balloon Prep

Using professional equipment, we inflate balloons to different sizes to create an organic look. This is where the arch gets its natural, flowing shape (not just a perfect circle).


3. Building the Structure

It’s like a puzzle — each balloon cluster twists and locks into place, gradually growing into a towering arch. Heavy weights keep it secure and safe (no flying away in the Cumbrian wind!).


4. Adding the Magic

This is where the arch really comes alive. Giant foil spiders crawl across it, spooky webs stretch across the gaps, and pops of colour (like metallics and orange) give it that Halloween wow factor.


5. The Final Reveal

What started as a pile of balloons transforms into a jaw-dropping arch — the perfect entrance for a party or photo backdrop.
