Versatile Options With Balloon Wedding Decorations
Balloons were fun when we were kids—Now this blast from the past is a
class act in decorating for your wedding.
Since balloons come in a variety of shapes, colors and textures, they
are a versatile wedding decoration that sure to have guests talking.
Weigh your options
The most commonly used helium balloons are made of plastic or latex,
making them twistable. Matte balloons are the standard plastic balloons,
that when expanded displays bursts of unadulterated color.
For those brides looking for something a little more dressed up, they
may want to consider a pearlized balloon. Pearlized plastic balloons
have a light coating, which make the colors appear to sparkle in certain
lighting.
Another eye-catching option is mylar —note that foil balloons are not
bendable, since they are made from polyester and not plastic. However,
the shiny foil material adds a bit of glam to any occasion and everyone
deserves to feel like a star on their wedding day!!
Plastic and mylar balloons come in many prints and wedding specific
graphics. While these are nice additions to the bridal shower, they are
not suggested in use for wedding decorating, unless part of any overall
theme.
If you’re looking for something a bit more unique, look into different
shapes; hearts and stars create a tastefully balanced elegant and fun
wedding balloon decor.
A Few Ideas
As a bride, it’s often hard to remember that simple items can go a long
way with a little imagination.
Balloons are one of the simplest wedding decorations that can be
incorporated into many elegant and complex pieces.
The wedding arch is a grand
display made of balloons and placed outdoors during the ceremony,
reception or inside any large room that can accommodate. White matte and
pearlized balloons are commonly used for the wedding arch, but don’t be
afraid to experiment with a little color.
Pastel may add that additional softness to a spring wedding. Also, the
wedding arch can be made with mylar balloons, creating a dazzling
display. For the undecided, using predominately matte balloons with a
few mylar placed throughout may give you the balance you’re looking for.
In addition to making a big entrance with an arch, balloons also make
fabulous centerpieces. Some of you are probably skeptical how a simple
balloon can turn into a wedding centerpiece without bordering on tacky.
Plastic and latex balloons can be twisted into amazing shapes.
Along with tulle, lace and ribbon, balloon wedding decor can make
beautiful topiaries. Small mylar balloons on sticks can be poked through
styrofoam wreath to create a ring around a pillar candle coaster. There
are professional stylists that are skilled in this craft. If your
looking for an affordable alternative to flowers, this may be worth
researching.
A final tip that’s my personal favorite balloon wedding decoration—a
balloon release! This can be a few different was. Outdoor weddings
sometimes like to incorporate a release of balloons as part of the
ceremony.
However, please be aware that mylar balloons are especially hazardous to
the environment and run the risk of tangling on near by power lines.
Check with the town or county regarding any possible restrictions.
Alternatively, many couples opt to do the balloon release as part of the
reception; either midway into the night or at the very end of the night.
Dancing through white balloons strings to the final song of the evening
is very romantic.
Indoor wedding balloon releases also can be done as a drop, where the
balloons are not or partially filled with helium and released from the
ceiling at an appointment time—no string required. Putting special notes
or tokens inside the balloons can also make for fun surprises. Either
way, beautiful balloon wedding decorations are a sure way to end the
evening on a high note.
