What you'll make
Picture a soft cloud of nude-toned balloons drifting across the top of your dessert table, with a few tufts of dried grass peeking out, and every guest stopping for a photo in front of it. It looks like something a stylist spent a morning on, and it's really one afternoon with a pump and a few mates. About $60 for a 3 m garland, pump included.
