Default ordering a balloon bouquet for Ignes BagTrends event
Ladies, paintednightsky came up with a fabulous idea to send something special to Inges/Ignacio at their table/booth at the BagTrends Arm Candy Party on Monday, September 22nd, which will be held at the Union Square Ballroom from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. frangelica came up with another fantastic idea to make it balloons!!! So, no sticky mess of fruit mixing with handbags, and no worry about where to place a gorgeous floral arrangement which may have some residual pollen falling onto handbags.

This said, we have some options as far as balloons go, which I will post separately.

FYI: New York Balloon and Basket is about an hour out from this event, considering traffic. I will post places that are within a few miles.

Either place is good. For the first choice I like the flowers boquet or busy blossoms. Or best wishes as a descriptive choice.

Or if we went with the second choice, I think this is pretty simple and basic http://www.balloonbouquetsnyc.com/en...nderglass.html This is pretty cute too http://www.balloonbouquetsnyc.com/en...ts/hotair.html I think these are good non flashy choices.

If we went with the last choice, I think maybe some basic balloons and a small fruit basket token.

I'm guessing the Bagtrends Arm Candy Participants will be at the Union Square Ballroom about an hour early or so to set up. This said, we ought to be able to have the balloon bouquet delivered before the event opens at 6:00 pm, right?

I like the busy blossoms as well! I think it's a good compromise for those that wanted to send flowers.
I'll go with whatever consensus wants.

Too cute!!! FYI - It usually takes at least 1/2 a day to set up for this type of event. More than likely there will be an earlier event for all of the fashion peeps so they may actually start set-up pretty early in the morning.
