Make your wedding decor Pop - Using Balloons for wedding decorations

Make your job easy by using balloon decorations for your wedding. You can give your wedding and reception a feeling of elegance or whimsy by using balloons in key areas. They are also great for drawing attention to your occasion and entertaining the children. Using them on the dance floor, ceiling, entrances, tables and archways will all add interest and excitement to your wedding decorations.


The Dance Floor

One of the most romantic things I’ve ever seen at a wedding is a couple taking their first dance among a field of iridescent balloons. Having balloon bouquets at varying heights around the dance floor makes the couples seem as if they are floating by on air. It really gives your reception a fairy tale feeling, especially if you use pearl balloon colors accented by silver or gold.

Scatter them along the floor if you wish, but realize that it will make for dangerous dancing and can be a bit much of a temptation for small children. However, don’t let that stop you from doing a balloon drop during your dance; just have a trusted friend ready to collect them before inviting everyone onto the dance floor.


The Ceiling

One great way to mask a not so great ceiling in a reception hall is to cover it with helium balloons. Of course you will want to make sure that you aren’t using the light fixtures (heat from lights and balloons don’t mix) and that you can get them down at the end of the night. You could choose to use balloon decorations for your wedding reception to decorate just a small area of ceiling such as over the dance floor. This can make it a more special part of the room and add color without adding too much cost.


Entrances and Tables

Mark the way to your wedding with balloons and signs. Place balloon bouquets instead of flowers by the entrances and on special tables like the cake table, gift table and guest book table. Use balloons with numbers on them to make finding the tables easy at the reception. The advantage of balloon decorations for your wedding entrances and tables is that it is an inexpensive way to add color and style to your wedding.



Archways

Balloon archways are an easy way to make your balloon decorations for your wedding have a fairy tale feel. If you want to get married under an arch of pearl balloons the experience can make you feel like a fairy tale princess and provide a great frame for pictures. Alternately you could put the archway at the beginning of the aisle which is another great place for your photographer to get great shots of you and your wedding party as they start down the aisle.

A balloon arch at your reception can also be a wonderful way for you to make an entrance as well as a great place to take photographs with your guests later in the evening. Make the archway near the dance floor and have your dollar dance under the colorful display. Balloon arches can be done professionally or have a skilled friend try his or her hand at making one.

Balloons decorations for a wedding are an excellent way to play with color and set the tone for your special wedding event. Accent the reception area with balloons to draw attention to special areas like the cake table or a display of photographs.

For your small guests consider having a clown entertain the children with balloon animals for an hour or two. Perhaps even send the children home with some of the balloons as a special favor. Using balloons can be fun and easy way to add flair to your wedding decor.
