Balcony hanging plants

Hi there everyone! I have a larger balcony and am trying to replicate this look. I was wondering if you knew the names of some of these long hanging plants? FYI, this picture was taken in New Orleans. Thanks in advance!

The ones hanging from the top in the first picture look like ferns.

Thanks, I currently have boston ferns but I was more interested in the ivy-looking plants. Also, I was wondering if I could hang my long pothos outside like that without the wind damaging them.

You have a combination of ferns, caladiums, sweet potato vine (margeurita-there is a purple one also), and the flowering plants are trailing petunias. Yes, you can hang an ivy and the wind won't tear it up, it will just swing around. Looks like some of that fern is climbing fern, and I would not recommend that to anyone. It is highly invasive and you can't get rid of it-It will come up in everything forever.

Thank you so much! I'll be picking up some sweet potato vines afterwork today.
