Through the Years with Bennett Dunlop Ford
|
Dealerships that don't feel like dealerships.
Ever have a client that continually supports you, lets you try new things, and give you thoughtful, honest feedback? For us, that’s the team at Bennet Dunlop Ford! When we started working with the Bennet team, we were super new to the balloonin’ game. We weren’t sure how long things would last, how they would look in such a large space, or how many colors were TOO many colors! Lucky for us, the Bennet team has stuck with us through the last few years (even through a Global Pandemic!) and given us many opportunities transform their beautiful dealership into a seasonal paradises!

Inside-the-Install Details
A well-placed Trademark Garland is the best way to draw attention to an entranceway! This "Route 770" install was the perfect way to ring in the fall at Ford (and the Sask wind/rain reminded us that summer is in fact over).

Tips for making a balloon garland in the wind
1. DON'T. Honestly, wind might be the worst balloon weather. But, if you must set up a balloon garland when it's windy, learn from our many years (and many mistakes.)
2. Bring extra hands: Everything will try and fly away. Have someone onsite to just hold things.
3. Use more command hooks and rigging materials than you ever thought possible.
4. Know and accept your physical appearance is going to be absolutely wild upon completion.

Springtime Galore - 2022
Inside-the-Install Details
This lively spring install included organic arches, fringe accents, and a bright colour palette. Dealerships are wide, open spaces with gorgeous natural light. Balloon arches are an excellent way to fill the space while drawing focus to specific spaces (or specific cars that we wish we could afford... a new BBYQR van may be on our wishlist very soon).

Two Essentials for a Successful Balloon Installation:
With a great balloon install comes the need for great balloon photos. Many of our installs are captured by our gal Crystal from Crystal Lens and Bark Design Studio. If you got bad ass clients AND a bad ass photographer, life is pretty great!
