As the stars were beginning their rehearsal at 9am, we were packing up and leaving. Mission accomplished. So let's back track a few hours.....
The Sony Foundation were raising money for You Can - the Youth Cancer organisation. Woolloomooloo Wharf was the place. Wharf4Ward was the event name
We had been given the challenge of transforming the wharf from drab to dazzling for the event. Colour, colour, colour was the theme. Something to WOW the rich and famous and encourage them to dig deep. As you can see from these pictures, we did not disappoint.
We created 3mtr tall topiary towers with a 3' balloon topper with the Sony Foundation logo printed on it. Then 300 x 16" balloons tied in lots of three along the piers and rails. The X Factor contestants were on hand, and any X Factor Fans would have seen our fantastic balloons on the short clip they did of the Wharf4Ward event on the show a week ago.
As you can see our 2.30am start did the job. Woolloomooloo Wharf was looking stunning by 9am. The guests arrived by midday and a good time was had by all. Lots of money was raised and it was all because of the balloons!!!! We had created the X Factor !!!
...OK, the fact that Jessica Mauboy and the Sapphires were performing may have helped a bit too !!!
