Let’s dive into my favourite’s
If your party needs a little extra flair? Why not consider using giant balloons? These oversized balloons are a fun and unique way to really add the wow factor to your event. They come in various colors and sizes, and can be used in many ways. My personal favorite way is to use them as fabulous table decorations like below.
Whether you choose to use them as decorations, photo props or just purely for the fun of it, giant balloons are sure to make your party one to remember.
Jumbo latex balloons come in 2 sizes 24 and 36 inches and are made with thick latex. They typically float with helium for around 2-3 days. Things to bear in mind are because of their size they do take lots of helium to fill so can work out expensive. You can achieve this same look without using helium and instead using balloon stands and filling the balloons with air.
Looking for an easy table decoration? A classic table centerpiece is a balloon bouquet, balloon bouquets are affordable and easy to set up, as they don’t require much time, skill, or materials to make.
These party staples are made with latex balloons that are filled with helium and generally float for around 8-12 hours.
So pretty! These beautiful designs are made by wrapping sheets of tulle around a large air-filled confetti balloon and securing it with a ribbon, these are placed on balloon stands so no helium is needed. They make a lovely addition to a christening or wedding.
They will typically last around 2 weeks.
Night fever, night fever! These LED balloons are a great addition to evening parties, sure to wow your guests. These light-up balloons are mounted onto balloon stands and will typically last for around 2 weeks with the lights lasting for around 8-12 hours.
A balloon garland table runner is a creative way to decorate your party table. It is a mini balloon garland that runs along the center of the table, creating a colorful and eye-catching centerpiece. They are easy to make, versatile and they create a lasting impression.
These are made the same way you would make a balloon garland using air-filled balloons no helium is needed, but you would use small balloons, 5 inches or 7 inches would be the ideal size. (note if you wanted to add floating balloons like the picture below you would need helium for those).
These balloon designs are such a popular choice as table centerpieces and there is a good reason why, they are just super fun and eye-catching.
These small mini balloon garlands can be a little time-consuming to make, but once made, they would last for many weeks.
Instead of having balloons on the table why not opt for a hanging decoration? These stunning ceiling balloon garlands look amazing suspended over tables, sure to elevate any event space and look amazing in your photographs.
These are made exactly the same way you would make a balloon garland and are attached to the ceiling with rope, although very grand these are relatively cheap to make with optional flowers and foilage making a nice addition to the look. These would look nice for around 3-4 weeks.
Add a touch of glamour and charm to your party with these big floral balloons.
These are made with 24 inch latex balloons that are filled with helium and a pink floral vine tail added.
These will last for approx 2 days, these can be made helium-free by using balloon stands instead and would last weeks..
All-white decorations are a chic and elegant way to create a stunning party. Popular for various occasions including weddings, christenings, baby showers and engagement parties.
These personalized feather balloons make a eye-catching table decoration. These are made using deco bubbles and filled with feathers and helium. As deco bubbles are plastic rather than latex they float for around 2 weeks. Custom vinyl wording can be added but will start to bubble and lift after a couple of days as the balloons slowly deflate.
These can be made helium-free by using balloon stands and a cheaper bubble balloon which are Bobo’s perfect for air-filled designs but in my opinion not great for helium.
Multiple confetti balloons grouped together make a beautiful display, adding charm and sophistication to your party space.
These stunning balloons are made with prefilled confetti balloons that are filled with helium and will float for approx 8-12 hours.
