What’s the difference between a Balloon Modeler and a Balloon Decorator?
In the world of balloon artistry there are many roles each with their own skills and expertise. Two of the most common are balloon modelers and balloon decorators. While both use balloons in their work they differ in their focus and the type of events they cater to. Let’s take a look at these two roles.
Balloon Modeler
A balloon modeler also known as a balloon twister is often at children’s parties or family oriented events and specialises in twisting balloons into shapes and figures. These can range from simple animals like dogs and cats to more complex designs like superheroes or fantasy characters. The joy of balloon modeling is in its interactive nature. Balloon modelers create their pieces live on the spot and delight the audience with their speed and skill.
Balloon Decorator
A balloon decorator on the other hand like our team at Celebration Creations, LLC takes balloon artistry to the next level. We specialise in creating large scale installations and decorations for all types of events from intimate gatherings to grand scale events. Our work involves designing and building balloon arches, elegant columns, whimsical sculptures, vibrant walls and corporate balloon decorations.
Balloon decorators cater to a broader range of events including weddings, birthdays, corporate functions, conventions and more. Their work is less about individual balloon figures and more about creating an atmosphere that matches the event’s theme and vision.
