Wedding Reception Decorations Balloons

Balloons will add a certain level of depth to your wedding day, turning virtually any hall into a festive scene! When decorating with balloons, think up, down, and everywhere in between. Balloons can swirl around the floor, creating a whimsical dance floor. They can fall from the sky, surprising and delighting guests. They can decorate doorways, pedestals, tables and so much more. You can even add very small balloons into bouquets for a splash of extra color and detail!

Go Pro

For elaborate décor, don’t do it all yourself! A balloon decorating company can do wonders for you – and it’s often surprisingly affordable! What can a professional do that you can’t? If you love the look and feel of balloons falling on the dance floor from the ceiling, they can arrange this for you using a professional balloon net. They can create amazing “exploding balloon” arrangements, which will thrill your guests and be the perfect special effect during your first dance. Balloon sculptures, centerpieces, arches, and topiaries are all possibilities: in your wedding colors, of course!

Do-It-Yourself

If you’re on a tight budget, you can decorate yourself using balloons in many different ways! They are inexpensive, and when adorned with ribbons and other touches, they can look gorgeous! If you’re planning to use helium balloons, keep in mind that you’ll have a limited amount of time to pick them up, transport them (which can be difficult!), and arrange them. The last thing you want is to enter a reception room full of deflated balloons! You can use non-helium balloons as pew decorations, doorway and table décor, and have them free-floating on the floor for a party atmosphere!

Cloud like Results

Use white balloons to create mounds of fairy-tale like clouds! Have white cloud-shaped topiaries made out of balloons, hanging high above each table to create an enchanted ambiance. Add touches of light blue and silver, and have stars hanging down to create a real sky-like interior!

Functional Beauty

Balloons can serve a function beyond simply looking grand. Consider using arches of balloons to show guests where the dance floor begins and ends. Showcase a table with your gust book by showing it off with enchanting balloons. You can use balloons to cover up any eyesores such as electrical boxes, unnecessary doors, or other flaws in your venue. Make your head table really stand out by having a backdrop of balloons behind you.

Outdoor Elegance

Balloons aren’t only for indoor celebrations! Take them outside – have a beautiful arch created to show off where your aisle begins. A combination of ribbon and balloon clusters can create a walkway to guide guests to the seating area. Balloon releases, though romantic, are not good for the environment so try to avoid any fly-aways. The ultimate outdoor balloon? A hot air balloon –ready to take your guest for an air-borne spin while you sneak off for your photo shoot.

Balloons can be a surprisingly stunning and stylish addition to any sort of wedding – from a small garden affair to a large urban reception! Choose colors that compliment the rest of your decor, make sure you’ve got a good plan of action in terms of set-up, and enjoy your day!
