Top 6 Balloon Ideas for Weddings and Events
Remember when you had birthday parties at your house as a kid and your parents would buy balloons to tie to your mailbox? Well, balloon decor has come a long way since then!
Instead of simply serving as colorful markers to let your friends know they had the right house, balloon decor can wow your guests and set the tone for your entire event.
We love getting creative with balloon decor for our client’s parties. Keep reading for our top six balloon ideas for weddings and events!
Balloon Arch
Balloon arches are our most in-demand balloon products! We create custom arches for every event so that our clients get exactly what they want. There’s so much you can do with a balloon arch.
Just like the old balloons tied to the mailbox, a balloon arch is a great way to mark the entrance of your venue (but it obviously looks way cooler!). It also makes a stunning backdrop for your DJ booth or live band.
For our couples, a balloon arch is also an amazing ceremony arch. You can keep it simple with all-white balloons or coordinate them with your color scheme. We also love adding in other elements, like sprigs of greenery, to dress them up! After the ceremony, they make a gorgeous backdrop for your couple portraits.

Balloon Garland
We know what you’re thinking, but yes, balloon garlands ARE different from balloon arches. Garlands don’t have the same arch shape, so they are installed differently and can serve a different purpose than an arch.
Garlands can be as big or small as you want. They make great decor for plain or unsightly walls at your venue. We also love using them to spruce up stairwells.
Our couples often want them installed behind the dessert table or sweetheart table at their weddings. Whatever you decide to do with your balloon garland, it will take your event up a notch!
Custom Mylar Balloon Letters
Want to spell out your last name, brand name, or special message in balloons? Mylar balloon letters make it easy while looking gorgeous! You can request a simple mylar balloon garland with the letters by themselves, or you can incorporate mylar balloons into your balloon arch or garland.
We love the endless customization options that mylar balloons provide. They make stunning “just married” signs for your send-off!
Jazz Up a Photo Booth Backdrop With Balloons
Booking a photo booth for your wedding or event? Make it more fun by adding balloons to the backdrop! We can attach a small balloon garland to the backdrop or hang mylar letters. Another fun idea is to have individual balloons on hand for your guests to use as props!
Adding balloons makes your photo booth more memorable, and they make the photos pop. Plus, we can incorporate other elements into the balloon garlands, like custom neon signs.
Custom Balloon Wall
Why stop at a balloon arch? A custom balloon wall makes a powerful statement, and let’s be honest, they look so cool! A full balloon wall can sub in as an amazing photo booth backdrop.
You can also use a balloon wall in the same way you would use an arch, i.e. at your venue entrance, behind your DJ booth, dessert table, wedding altar, etc.!
We love creating custom balloon walls because the options are endless. You can go all out with colors and create a rainbow wall, or you can keep it minimal and elegant for black tie affairs. We can also mix and match balloon sizes for visual intrigue. Trust us, your guests will be blown away by what we can create for your wedding or event!
Jumbo Helium Balloons
Jumbo helium balloons are all the rage and for good reason! Even by themselves, they make amazing decor. We love using stand-alone balloons strategically to decorate a space.
For example, you can use them on your tables as a fun centerpiece or tie them to the back of your chairs. If you’re having an outdoor event and your venue has a big lawn space, you can install them throughout the lawn to spruce it up.
You can also use standalone balloons with water features! We love anchoring jumbo balloons in pools for a really cool water display (it can also deter guests from getting in the pool if you aren’t using it for your event!).
