GEMAR Experience the UK Event 2023: Where creativity and collaboration collide.

Gemar UK held the first UK event in the enchanting garden grounds of the Fairlawns Hotel and Spa on 24th August 2023

The day was an unforgettable celebration with a mix of over 50 delegates including the largest wholesalers, influencers, stylists and decorators from the UK’s balloon and party industry. The fabulous Blow it with Bex and the genius balloon twister Gergo demonstrated a range of techniques to create and inspirational safari themed organic display, that was given a fantasy vibe with stunning distorted flowers.

Not to be out done, the delegates formed groups collaborating to create eight stunning themed displays among, swing seats, wishing wells and pagodas. Using their own choice of the extensive colour range and sizes of Gemar Balloons.

We were delighted to be joined by Gloria Veta and Giorgia, who shared insights to Gemar’s brand values, showing the process of how our balloons are made and our commitment to sustainability.

But it wasn’t all business; The relaxed environment meant the day was full of laughter, bonding, and the feeling of being part of this awesome community.

Balloon Stacks: The Creative Balloon Bouquets

Over the past few years, a new and exciting style of deliverable design has emerged – Balloon Stacks, or Balloon Bouquets.
The Evolution of Balloon Bouquets over Time ⏰🎈 Back in the day (we're talking many years ago 🦕), a balloon bouquet was simply a bunch of helium-filled latex and foil balloons tied together and securely fastened to a weight. Nowadays, balloon bouquets have become much more sophisticated. These stacks are creatively arranged and have a unique blend of colours, techniques and designs that make them a perfect fit for any occasion.
