Can you really have a PARTY without Balloons?
No... I didn't think so.
Gone are the days where balloons were reserved strictly for children's parties. With the Introduction of florals, organic balloon techniques, paper lanterns, greenery, shimmer walls and more we are seeing balloons utilised in a large array of celebrations from corporate events to birthdays, engagement parties, christenings and more.
I may be biased, (having originally started as a Balloon Decorator myself) but I am OBSESSED with the balloon decor trend. From balloon arches, to garlands, photo backdrops and more... I am here for it all!
So enough talk... Let me show you some of my favourite balloon decoration styles for your next event!
BABY SHOWER BALLOON DECOR INSPIRATION
For a unique baby shower we love the addition of props that we have seen emerging in the last few years. From oversized BABY blocks, to rocking horses/carousel props, teddy bears and even the sweetest little wardrobe! Nothing says "Welcome Baby" like a selection of sweet props.

KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY DECORATION IDEAS
Whilst props featured heavily in children's birthday parties the last few years we seem to be seeing more people moving towards adding lifesize cutouts to the decor instead. This is probably because it is much easier to source these, you can literally purchase an SVG File from etsy and print at your local printing store.
With the cost of living rising, this is arguably a cheaper option to having a lifesize Dinosaur at the party, with many families opting to spend the money on the entertainment for the party instead.

ADULT BIRTHDAY PARTY BALLON DECOR IDEAS
Shimmer walls, LED backdrop walls, Light Up numbers/Neon signs and Faux floral arrangements all featured heavily in adult birthday parties recently and we are loving all the different elements that we are seeing. Think Glitz and Glam! Oh and have you seen the giant balloon balls recently? So Classy!

BRIDAL SHOWER BALLOON DECOR INSPIRATION
Balloons and faux florals together have been a popular trend in bridal showers and hen's parties of recent years and we think it is a match made in heaven! We are also seeing the introduction of large bows (both real ones and cardboard cutouts), large letter props and open arch backdrops have also featured heavily.

CORPORATE EVENT BALLOON DECOR INSPIRATION
Think Balloon decor doesn't have a place in Corporate Events? You would be mistaken. From Organic Balloon Garlands to Classic Arches, Columns and more. We are seeing lots of Stylists opt to add a companies logo to the installations, whether that be as cardboard cutouts or on the balloons themselves! Light Up numbers/letters have also been popular with large balloon installations to really make them pop!
