Balloon Cloud Wedding Decoration Ideas

Nothing says “party” like balloons. Brides who choose balloons at their wedding will not be disappointed. Balloons come in many colors and the pearlized colors that match a bride’s color scheme add a touch of elegance that matte colored balloons can’t match.

There are several balloon configurations that brides usually choose for their wedding. The balloon cloud wedding decoration and an archway are the most popular. The balloon cloud wedding decoration consists of three groupings of helium balloons connected with coordinating streamers.

The trick to this hanging decoration is the right amount of weight from the streamers and helium. It should hover over a table or area without hitting people on the head or sticking to the ceiling. The cloud formation is held in place with weights attached to the streamers. Favorite places for this decoration is over the gift table, cake table or guest book table.

A variation on the balloon cloud wedding decoration is the cloud columns that can frame a gazebo or other entrance for the bride and groom. Two large groupings of the balloons are at the top and two smaller groupings are attached midway down a swag. The swag for the balloon cloud wedding decoration can be made of tulle or gossamer material, coordinating paper streamers or ribbon.

A second variation of the balloon cloud wedding decoration is the formation of cloud columns. These clusters of balloons look like flowers and are attached to streamers that hang from the wall or ceiling. The best way to make this balloon cloud wedding decoration is to place four sets of four balloons on the streamer and weigh the bottom of the streamer with a weight so that it sets on the floor.


It is best to place these decorations behind the couple’s table or out of the way so that guests will not trip on the streamers. You want to accent the room with balloons and not cause a hazard.

One final version of the balloon cloud wedding decoration is the table decoration. The balloon cloud can be formed with four or six balloons and kept in place with a weighted streamer. These make for a festive atmosphere and the guests will want to take them home after the reception is over.

Remember not to combine the balloon cloud wedding decoration on a guest’s table with a candle or you may have a fire or balloons popping at your reception.

Ultimately it is up to the bride and groom to decide what type of balloon cloud wedding decoration or combination of decorations that they want at their wedding. The main consideration is not to have too many balloons that will trip guests or hover too close to the guest’s heads. You don’t want your guests to feel that the dance floor is a hazard or that overhead balloons are attacking them.

When in doubt ask other members of your wedding party for their opinion or work with your wedding planner to choose the right amount of balloons for your special day.
