One of the most popular searches on the Party Ideas blog is “beach ball balloon arch.” I’m not a huge fan of the beach ball arch myself, but I have to admit that this modern square arch is absolutely amazing. It was designed as part of a wedding reception, but I can easily see something like this working well for a family reunion or any event where you would want a really eye catching photo backdrop.

You can visit Wedding Chicks for the details, although there isn’t a description of how to recreate this look. I’m imagining it was done with some sort of super strong adhesive, but I’d love to hear your ideas on how to go about constructing your own beach ball arch.
