Unpacking all of the hidden gems in our Practical Magic 2 inspired balloon installation at the Liberty B&B Theatres…
•Salt, Rosemary, Lavender, Love, as shared in the first movie. No spoilers here, but what did you think of the new addition? We had this backdrop custom made just for this installation!
•The apothecary bottles. Custom labels designed in the balloon studio. Belladonna because Gillian always has it in her bag, Midnight Margaritas because we all need a kitchen dance party. Love Potion No. 9? Well, that one is just a cheeky nod to Sandra Bullock.
•The date on the Owens Botanical Supply Sign, it’s the year the Salem witch trials ended.
•The climbing red roses, growing out of the ground where Jimmy Angelov was buried. Did you catch them in the second movie, too?
•The crescent moon, watch for it in PM2. We wanted to capture the moonlight illuminating the greenhouse as the Owens’ gathered around the table. Such a beautiful scene in PM2.
For our fellow balloon artists who have read this far, the apothecary bottles were created with Q jewels. Nothing velvetizes quite like them which is perfect for a dusty apothecary bottle look. There are also several custom double stuffed colors using the very last of our Q stock in the organic flows around the installation. Jewel burgundy and fuchsia with black in the rose garden; sapphire, quartz and teal with black throughout. This felt like the perfect installation to say goodbye to old balloon favorites.
