What’s everyone’s favorite, old-time-classic party decoration? Balloons, of course! No matter the intimate event you are hosting – wedding dinners and baptisms to birthday parties and luxury proposals, balloons are an excellent addition to any event, they always offer a happy-inspired wow factor for your guests and elevate your celebration!

A classic party symbol, balloons are fun and colorful, adding a playful touch to any venue; be it a large outdoor space, a yacht or even a private suite; not to mention that they can help pull together the whole look of your event. Although balloons are such a common decor piece, there are so many twists that can transform simple balloons into the most unique feature of your next event.

From balloon garlands, balloon walls to fun arches, the list of creative ways to incorporate balloons into your special celebration is endless, not to mention the large variety of textures you will find. With so many options to choose from, we’ve gathered some of our favorite balloon decor ideas that will take your party to the next level!

Balloon Garlands, Arches, Walls & Ceiling Installations

If you want your event to make a lasting impression, then go for massive ceiling installations, gorgeous balloon garlands draped from the ceiling or wall. For events with a main entrance, you can also use garlands as arches to mark and highlight the entrance. Put them over the mom-to-be while she’s opening presents at the baby shower or over the couple at the wedding ceremony. Make it an impressive focal point at the photo backdrop or dessert table. Create bundles of color explosions, Ombre gradients, white clouds or bubble effects! Incorporate neon lighting which is the latest trend at any event. One thing is for sure, your guests will be in awe!

Add Confetti

What better way to add some glam and sparkle to your event than with confetti? You can either dip colored balloons in gold, silver or colorful confetti, or go for confetti-filled clear balloons. If you’re planning a micro event like a gender reveal party, or birthday celebration, we suggest filling balloons with blue or pink confetti and popping them for a fun surprise announcement.

Personalized Balloons

Put a special message or image either inside or on the balloons and make them uniquely perfect for your event. For example, put the name of the baby-to-be at a birthday or  baptism, or a special date or love note for a luxury proposal or anniversary party. What a unique personal touch!

Dress In Fabric

Wrapping balloons in fabrics such as satin or tulle perfectly blends the magic of the balloons with class and sophisticated romance. For a clean aesthetic, opt for pastel colors, but if you prefer a more dramatic look, then go for bold and daring combinations.

Incorporate Flowers & Greenery

Flowers and greenry are a sure way to create a fresh ambiance for your event. Weave them into balloon arches, hang them in floral strips from high helium balloons or include them in a balloon bouquet. A beautiful touch of greenery is always essential, especially for rustic or boho affairs.

Balloon Chandelier

If you’re looking for a truly unique and majestic centrepiece for your event, then colorful balloons hanging over your table as a chandelier will surely impress your guests. Drape long flowy fabrics or install fairy lights on the ceiling and create a fantasy-like setting. This creative and imaginative idea will also be an ultimate conversation starter for a lovely dinner party setting. Take it up a notch and include marble, metallic and chrome textures!

There’s no doubt that balloons can bring a happy and personal touch to any event, turning it into a most unforgettable experience for you and your guests. If you’re not sure how to incorporate them at your next event, get in touch with us and we promise to push our creative boundaries so that we design something exceptional for your special day!

According to color psychology, colors have qualities that trigger certain emotions. Assuming this is true (according to science it is), then the colors you choose for your event are of the highest importance when it comes to enhancing your guests’ experience.

No matter what kind of bespoke intimate event you’re planning, be it an engagement, a baptism, anniversary or a party, your color palette can either make it or break it. What are the ‘rules’ of choosing your event colors? They can be aligned with the latest trends but should also reflect your unique style, and of course there are many other factors to consider! To help you out, here are some tips on how to make the best color decisions for your next event.

Get Inspired By Your Setting

When choosing your event’s colors, one thing you should definitely keep in mind is your venue. You don’t want your color palette to clash with the overall setting of your event. If you have your heart set on a specific palette, go with a venue that employs neutral colors. Natural elements, like wood and stone and earthy tones go with just about any color. If you have an outdoor venue, consider incorporating the colors of the natural surroundings into the palette to keep the outdoor vibes flowing throughout. Keep your eyes open to find anything that can spark inspiration, from a vintage Persian rug in your venue’s dining room to the view of the ocean and the crimson red sunset.

Remember Your Priorities

Apart from the venue, there are other details you need to consider before choosing your colors. For example, if you’re dreaming of having purple orchids on your birthday, it would be a sin not to do so just because they don’t match with your event’s color scheme. If you have certain flowers or accessories you absolutely want to have at your event, make sure to choose a color palette that enhances them and makes them stand out.

Pick In-Season Colors

Just like your wardrobe, your event’s color scheme can be inspired by the time of year. If you’re hosting a Christmas party, for example, you may want to stick with winter colors such as white, ice grey, or red. On the other hand, if you’re throwing a spring or summer party, pastels and bright colors like pink and yellow are perfect! Fall colors can include oranges, browns, maroons, bronze, and other warm shades. This, however, doesn’t mean you should stay away from colors you love, just because they are not in season. Of course, there are colors that can be used year-round, such as invigorating yellow. And last but not least, another important aspect you should consider is texture. For example, bright fuchsia is considered a summer color, but velvet fuchsia curtains would be ideal for a luscious winter wedding!

Keep The Color Wheel In Mind

The color wheel is the main tool to use when it comes to figuring out what colors look good next to each other. Typically, colors that go well together are ones that are opposites because they pair coolness with warmth. Think deep purple with bright yellow for example, or orange with turquoise. Another winning combination is one main color with a color directly next to it on the color wheel, such as yellow with melon orange.

Consider The Emotions Of Colors

We already mentioned color psychology and the effect colors have on people’s emotions. When deciding on your color palette think of the emotional responses associated with certain colors. Red, for example, the color of passion, can excite your guests, increase arousal levels and blood pressure, while violet is linked with spirituality and is said to reduce stress and foster an inner sense of calm. What vibe do you want to create for your special day? Do you want to put your guests in a relaxed frame of mind by using baby blue or are you going for a dramatic bold atmosphere that is better resonated with an emerald green?
