When planning to celebrate any event at home, be it a child’s birthday or a meeting between a mother and her baby from the maternity hospital, in addition to food and a festive program, you should think about how to create a festive atmosphere by decorating the room. And here affordable and elegant balloons come to our aid.
In this article you will find some interesting ideas on how to beautifully decorate a room with balloons and thereby create a festive mood for both the guests and the hero of the occasion, because both children and adults are partial to balloons!
Now let’s look at specific examples of creating various figures and compositions from balls.
History of twisting
Bouquets and crafts from balloons are created using a special technique - twisting, one of the areas of aerodesign. Translated from English, twisting is translated as rotating, twisting; in relation to balls, it literally means modeling shapes. In this type of creativity, special latex products are used. They are heavier than regular balloons, so even if they are filled with helium, they will not float. Modeling can be monosyllabic - from one ball and multi-component.
Creating figures from rubber and latex balloons began not so long ago, but already in ancient times the Egyptians and Aztecs modeled the silhouettes of animals from cleaned intestines. This is evidenced by rock paintings and hieroglyphs in ancient pyramids. With the development of chemistry and the invention of round balls, they were initially used for twisting. And in 1912 they created the first cigar-shaped elongated ball. Already by the 30s of the last century, magicians were playing them in numbers for circus performances. By the end of the 20th century, twisting turned into a mass hobby, communities, organizations, and training courses appeared.
But the wide distribution of this type of creativity today leads to the fact that it can be practiced everywhere and by completely unprepared people. Specific physical abilities are not required for classes, but you should stock up on a set of basic knowledge and suitable materials.
Aerodesign classes develop creative abilities, logical thinking, and help develop spatial modeling skills, so they are suitable for adults and children.
DIY fruit balls
It is best to decorate children's and themed parties with improvised fruit. Instead of helium balloons, it is better to take regular ones and hang them on a fishing line in the form of a garland. For example, to create a watermelon, simply draw light lines on a green ball. Bunches of grapes can be made from small purple balloons (fill the balloons not completely and tie them in the form of a pyramid, secure the printed leaves on top). For strawberries, red balls are suitable, on which you draw dots with black paint, and attach paper leaves to the tail. Hang all the fruits in random order on the fishing line.
Types of balls
Before you make a bouquet of balloons with your own hands, you need to learn how to figure out what materials to choose.
Balloons differ according to several criteria.
By form:
- round;
- elongated (sausages);
- curly;
- links (balls with tails, thanks to which the resulting figures can be connected into a common composition).
According to the material from which they are made:
- rubber (the most popular and budget option, used for decorating a room, making figures and bouquets);
- vinyl;
- foil (they look very beautiful, a color image is applied to them, they are durable and retain their original appearance for a long time);
- plastic (the most durable, hypoallergenic).
To make a flower with your own hands, you usually need round, elongated rubber balls and links. Now that we have looked at what a bouquet can be made from, let’s move on to the master class.
How to make 3D flowers
What you need: 5 white and yellow balloons, 1 red, 3 green twist balls, 4 green balloons.
Flower modeling process:
- First we inflate white balloons, followed by yellow ones, only smaller in size, about half the size. Red should be the smallest - this is our middle.
- We connect the white balls together to form petals, and do the same with the yellow ones.
- We put the yellow balls on the white ones and connect them with thread, attaching the red core to the petals.
- In order to make the stems, we inflate the balls for modeling and twist them together like a rope.
- Fill the green round balls with air and connect them in a circle. This is our flowerbed, and at the same time the base of the flower that will hold it.
- We put everything together - we connect the stem with the flower to the flowerbed.
- Additionally, you can decorate it with bows, toys, serpentine, and sparkles. You can create several flowers and collect them in a bouquet.
Color spectrum
Decorating a wedding with balloons needs to be thought out in advance in terms of choosing colors. There are a lot of options, and it is necessary to make a choice in favor of a specific one based on the style of the hall chosen for the celebration and the personal preferences of the young people. In some cases, it is worth taking into account the color of the bride and groom’s outfits.
For a wedding, decorating the hall with white balloons, which can be combined with pink, blue, silver and other shades, is ideal.
General points
So, first of all, you need to decide on some points and only after that choose specific solutions. First, a general concept is thought out, for which the following are important:
- color palette;
- idea (it must match the rest of the design - dress, cortege, etc.);
- integration of decorations into the interior of the selected room.
I would like to say a few words separately about the choice of color.
For decoration with balloons, the ideal, and therefore most popular, solution would be to use only two contrasting colors. For example, white with red, pink or purple.
A more complex and time-consuming option involves using several colors from the same range. For example, white, milky, orange, yellow, sand. A darker and more saturated version is four to five shades of the same color. It should be remembered that the color scheme of the jewelry must exactly match the outfits of the newlyweds in order to avoid dissonance .
Party for young people: ball in a ball
Proper room decoration is half the success when planning a holiday. Bright balloons under the ceiling are guaranteed to lift your spirits and put you in a positive mood.
This room decoration idea is suitable for a youth party, New Year's Eve.
- We lower a small colored ball into a large transparent one using an expander and carefully inflate it inside. Tie and leave in a large ball. Repeat 2 more times - with balls of other colors. Thus, 3 bright balls should fit in a large transparent ball.
- Next, we inflate our large balloon with helium.
- We tie streamers or rain, garlands, etc. to the tail.
For 10-12 sq/m, for the full feeling of the holiday you need at least 15-20 of these ready-made balls.
Idea: walls with balls!
Both children and adults are all crazy about balloons. So, by choosing this method of decorating a room, you will definitely cheer up everyone present!
For this you will need the following materials:
- 160Q latex balloons (use a mix of different colors: orange, yellow, pink, purple, green, light green, blue and white),
- hand pump for inflating balloons,
- scissors, tape, double-sided tape.
Follow these steps and you'll soon be admiring the colored ball powder on your walls:
- Divide the ball into 6 equal parts by tying knots on it.
- Using a pump, inflate the first part of the balloon until you get an inflated sausage, tie a knot at the end. Then trim the inflated part of the balloon as close to the knot as possible. Then do the same with the next part of the ball, and so on until you get six small balls.
- Cover the knots with tape so they don't stick out.
- Repeat the first three steps until you have hundreds of colorful balls.
- Attach the balls to the wall with small pieces of double-sided tape.
This decoration is perfect for an original party or photo shoot. And don’t forget to stock up on enough sweets, since the appearance of the room will definitely encourage you to eat something tasty.
Here are some more great ideas for decorating with balloons.
Sky in balloons - a surprise for children
This option for decorating a room with balloons is suitable for children's parties, a baby's birthday, as well as for creating a festive atmosphere, for example, on New Year or Children's Day.
To surprise your little ones, the surprise should be prepared in advance - preferably at night, while they are sleeping sweetly (and soundly).
- We buy multi-colored mother-of-pearl balls of different shapes.
- We put it on through a helium tank.
- We tie beautiful ribbons.
- We release the balls to the ceiling.
It is important that there are a lot of balls!
If you have enough time and have the desire, you can decorate not only the nursery, but also other rooms in the apartment.
Ghosts
For them, it is best to use white opaque balls, but for Halloween, orange ones that imitate a pumpkin will also be appropriate. Making such a cute ghost is very simple - all you need is the ball itself and a black marker or felt-tip pen. Even a child can draw a ghost’s face, and how much pleasure a child will get from the very process of creating such a festive decor.
For greater realism, we attach long paper strips to the bottom of the ball - you get ghost clothes.
Balloon fountains
I like these decorations the most, since the effort required is minimal, and the structures turn out to be large and very noticeable. If you make them at a height of 170-200 cm, it feels like there are columns in the room. You can also attach one ball to a weighting agent (usually this is also a ball slightly filled with water). And tied together on ribbons of different lengths, the balls form an incomparable fountain. Like that:
spring-cleaning
Thorough cleaning of the children's room and the entire house should be done immediately before the baby returns from the hospital. It is necessary to rearrange the furniture, remove dust, including on the leaves of indoor plants, wash the plumbing, and wipe the floors.
If the style of the future design requires rearranging pieces of furniture, this should also be done in advance, so that nothing later distracts from the creative process. Finally, you need to thoroughly ventilate all rooms of the apartment.
Garlands of balloons
Just like garlands made from flags, flowers or photographs, you can also make a garland from inflatable balloons. Even a child can cope with this task - you just need to thread the tails of the balls and string them on a thread or rope. A large needle like a gypsy needle works well for this purpose.
You can attach such garlands both to the wall and to the window or door. By playing with different colors and sizes of balloons, complementing them with other elements, you can create your own unique masterpiece and decorate your beloved child’s birthday with it).
Flowers and butterflies
Similar figures can be easily created from small balls. At the same time, for a flower to look really elegant, all its petal balls must be the same size, so you will have to practice a little in inflating the balls evenly)
A composition of several such figures looks the most original and elegant. You can highlight an entire wall in the room for this decor or decorate the background of a candy bar with it.
And this video shows how you can create a whole bouquet of daisies yourself:
Ice cream
A great idea if you are planning a Frozen themed party, and this option for decorating a room would also be appropriate for a birthday. It is better to inflate the balloons with helium so that they fly to the ceiling, and it is better to take the lightest paper for the caps, aka ice cream cones.
Cherries
If you want to know how to beautifully decorate any room with balloons, then you should carefully consider the recommendations in this article. In the next case, you need to take red and burgundy balloons, but you can inflate them in the usual way, without resorting to helium.
You will also need glue, thread or wire and green paper for the leaves. The finished berries can be collected into a garland, or hung apart on furniture or curtain rods.
Tuchka
For younger children, the version of such a cloud, and even with droplets, will be very interesting.
Take the balls in light colors, or maybe blue. You can get creative and make a colored cloud, and then make droplets to match it. At the autumn festival in the kindergarten, such clouds will definitely not go unnoticed.
This option is also suitable for a party in the style of Winnie the Pooh, as well as Masha and the Bear.
Bows - flowers
Any girl will definitely appreciate such a decoration for a celebration in the style of a princess, Barbie, or fairy.
For each ball you just need to attach a more interesting, more magnificent decoration. The balloons, of course, are inflated with helium, but you can also place them on a stand.
Make a volumetric figure
The big number will not only remain as a keepsake, but will also become the central photo area of the party. Detailed master classes on how to make numbers for a birthday - 10 lessons
Instead of fireworks and fireworks
Another budget option that helps decorate a room with balloons. For the birth of a child or for a children's party, such decor can be dangerous! Make sure that no one present is startled by the bang.
Take colored confetti (see how to make it at home above) and then carefully fill the balloons. Inflate a latex toy and hang it from the ceiling from top to bottom. The best solution would be to take transparent round balloons so that guests can anticipate the festive fireworks. Give each person present one sharp object, observing safety precautions. At the most important moment, it is important to burst the balloons so that the confetti can be sprinkled with festive fireworks.
Decorations for the table and candy bar
When planning how to decorate a room with balloons with your own hands, don’t forget about the holiday table. Balls on stands will look most advantageous on the table. This way they will be more noticeable and won’t take up much space.
Balloons covered with tulle or chiffon look very elegant; compositions made of balls, complemented by small decorative elements such as bows, flowers, and butterflies, will look just as nice.
Such compositions will add an elegant touch to the festive table, and little guests will not remain indifferent to such non-standardly decorated balls.
Glowing balls
Option for New Year's parties, children's evening parties, school discos, etc.
- We purchase glowing bracelets, sticks or special mini-flashlights (they are usually sold in stores with fireworks and balls) according to the number of balls (it is better to take flashlights that glow in different colors).
- We lower a switched-on flashlight into each ball through an expander.
- Then we inflate it with helium, tie it and release it to the ceiling.
- Such “fireflies” under the ceiling in the twilight immediately create the right mood.
Cherries
Another delicious thing made from balloons. Unlike the previous option, here you can not inflate the balloons with helium, but inflate them yourself. The main requirement is that the balls must be red or burgundy so that cherries can be seen in the finished composition.
You will also need green material from the props, preferably paper - for creating leaves, thread or wire, and glue for holding the elements together.
You can make a garland from these cherries, or simply attach them to walls or furniture. Bright berries will not go unnoticed!
Volumetric figures made from balloons for birthdays
No matter who the birthday person is - an adult or a child, you can prepare various figures from balloons to celebrate his birthday. It’s enough to think a little about the theme of the holiday, add a little imagination, and you can make anything out of balloons. Due to the variety of colors, shapes and sizes, balls are widely used in the manufacture of three-dimensional figures.
For a children's birthday, ready-made foil figures of various cartoon characters or those made from balloons inflated with helium are suitable. Little guests and the birthday boy will also enjoy compositions from flower bouquets, as well as animals made from balloons of different colors and sizes fastened together.
Balloons, due to their shape, are very versatile. By adding a couple of strokes with markers, you can make many shapes and funny faces - cats, fish, mice and much more. Regardless of the age of the birthday person and guests, so-called balloon fountains look great in the room where the celebration is taking place. To create them, a larger ball is placed in the center, and smaller balls are attached to the sides at different heights. These air fountains usually use helium balloons of the same color scheme. Such compositions, placed in a festive hall, look very stylish and harmonious.
Funny faces, minions
Happy holiday - funny faces made of balloons! A smile in a balloon will certainly make a child smile in return. Maximum positivity with a minimum of effort, because anyone can draw such a cheerful face.
Well, in the case of a minion it’s even simpler - it’s a ready-made foil ball. This is how we smoothly move on to the next point...
Balloon toys
Many of us have been to the circus and watched in fascination as a clown in a matter of seconds before our eyes turns long narrow balls into amazing, kind little animals. Hands flash, twist, twist, twist, etc. Ale-op! A fun souvenir for everyone who wants it. We invite you, friends, to learn this simple art yourself, and your new skill will bring you and those around you a lot of pleasure.
Modeling from balloons or twisting sausage balls into various figures is called twisting. Balloons can be twisted into almost any shape. The most popular: animal figurines, flowers, hats and jewelry. Funny balloon figures are an excellent holiday gift for both adults and children - they always bring smiles and joy.
Garlands without using glue
Even a child who knows how to use scissors can make such a decoration, since the pattern is very simple. You will need: A4 paper (calculating one sheet of paper for 4 elements of the garland), scissors, pencil.
The order of assembling the garland:
- Cut a sheet of paper into 4 even pieces.
- Take one part, fold it in half (across), and then in half again (also across).
- Draw with a pencil the shape you will use to cut out.
- Cut out the shape and carefully unfold it.
- Connect together the individual elements of the garland (as shown in the picture), alternating colors.
- Hang the garland.
We offer you several alternative designs for this garland.
What types of photo zones are there?
It is very important to come up with an interesting and beautiful design for a photo zone made of balloons. Of course, the very fact of the presence of balls in the photograph will significantly improve its appearance, but for a full-fledged, good photograph it is necessary to place the balls in the right places. Let's look at different types of design, starting with the simplest and most banal.
- Arch. The most common option for decorating a photo zone with balloons is to arrange them in the form of a kind of arch, inside which the main characters of the photo will be located. There are two ways to go. So, if there is any strong background, then you just need to glue balls in the form of a hemisphere to it. But if for some reason it is impossible to use this method, you can resort to making a frame from wire or aluminum rods.
- Wall. An even simpler design idea is to make a wall made of balls. The point here is to create the entire background of the photo from balloons. At the same time, it is possible to show your imagination, for example, using balls of contrasting colors, you can “draw” with them some simple image or write some word or phrase.
- Garland. This idea may be similar in essence to an arch. Moreover, with a little effort, you can combine these two types of design into one, thereby creating an even more interesting photo zone. So, the essence of the garland is the alternate use of balls of different colors. This type received the name “garland” due to the general rule for creating such a photo zone: you need to choose one main color, and insert balls of any colors into it at the same interval. Everything is the same as in a real garland: the common “wire” is usually black or gray, and all the “diodes” can be of completely different colors. A variation of this design is the so-called multi-sized garland. Its essence is to use balls not only of different colors, but also of different sizes. Moreover, it is not necessary to observe symmetry: in some cases you can deviate from this unspoken rule. To mount the garland, you can resort to using various tapes and frames.
- Square. This design option is also worth considering. A square frame is constructed from the balls, inside of which there can be anything in the background. This arrangement of balls can be used as a kind of photo frame.
There are other types of photo zones made from balloons, which are more difficult to make. But they are used quite rarely, mainly at large events.
It is important to know that very often the design of a photo zone is made from foil balloons.
These balls are brighter than regular ones and have a number of visual differences.
General recommendations
When thinking about how to decorate a room with balloons for your child’s birthday, or for some other significant event, try to plan the decor concept in advance. The main thing here is not the number of elements, but their skillful combination with each other.
If you are decorating a room where little children will have fun or where a newborn will be brought, use a limited number of inflatable balloons and pre-ventilate the room, because such balloons are a source of unpleasant odors. It’s better to complement the balloons with some neutral-smelling decoration, such as paper decoration, or give preference to foil balloons.
To ensure that the balls retain their appearance until the end of the celebration, try to protect them from sudden temperature changes. Also, do not inflate them to the maximum size - this will shorten their service life.
At the end of the festive feast, you can distribute the balloons to the little guests - let them rejoice, play with them or take them home.

What can be added?
The idea of decorating a photo zone with balloons is excellent in itself. But in some cases this is not enough, and the place for a photo shoot looks sluggish and uninteresting. In order to correct this, you can resort to various additional decorations.
- The first thing that comes to mind is to use holiday rain. For example, this material can be used to make a background for filming. Due to the ability of rain to reflect light over its entire area, the background will shimmer, which in many cases looks appropriate and elegant. The option of designing a photo zone with rain is often used by professional filming companies.
- Another idea is to decorate the photo zone with baskets of flowers. This technique - adding colors - is used in a variety of areas. As a rule, flowers in baskets are hung on a ball rim, thereby creating a more cozy atmosphere. Moreover, it is not necessary to use the basket and flowers together. So, artificial specimens can be wrapped around balls without using baskets. On the other hand, the baskets themselves can be used in another way, for example, decorated beautifully and hung in a photo zone.
- Don’t forget about the banal additions that are used everywhere: fabrics, furs, lace, multi-colored paper and cardboard, foil. By using your imagination, you can find suitable places to use them in your photo zone.
- When creating a themed photo zone, you should use various decorative items: various toys and figurines. But this must be done in moderation.
Compositions and stands
A wedding, anniversary, anniversary, graduation, new product launch or other significant event requires a more substantial decoration of the hall than single balloons. Various volumetric compositions are best suited for these purposes.
Depending on the complexity of the work, as well as the final result, volumetric compositions come in 2 types:
To create three-dimensional figures, a hand pump or special equipment that inflates the balloons with helium can be used.
Panel
Today, not a single holiday is complete without a special photo zone. An interesting solution would be a panel of balloons. Against their background, each photo will turn out dynamic and with real live emotions.
The panel, which was decided to be decorated with balloons, can be decorated in different ways depending on the theme of the celebration. The most popular and beautiful options include:
In order for the picture to turn out unusual, but at the same time logically complete, the person who is photographed must pick up one or more balloons. Even after a while, looking at such photos will lift your spirits.
Most often, compositions of this type are found at weddings. Arches are installed behind the husband and wife. This will help create a festive atmosphere during the wedding celebration.
Another common reason for installing a balloon arch is the opening of a new store or other facility, such as a cafe or restaurant. The decor will emphasize the solemnity of the moment, and will also attract people’s attention to the new point.
Where and when are they used?
When describing a photo zone made from balloons, one cannot miss the scope of its application. Of course, it is very important to understand in what cases it will be appropriate and in what form to use it. In most cases, photo zones are used for birthdays, and to decorate the holiday for people of all ages.
As a rule, in such places there are necessarily three-dimensional numbers indicating the age of the birthday person.
Sometimes you can decorate this photo zone with words of congratulations. This can be done using colored paper, fabric or cardboard.
A photo zone for birthdays is a very popular option not only for big holidays, but also for celebrating at home. Using blue, white, green and purple colors, you can create a photo zone for boys, and red and pink shades for girls. The place for a photo shoot can also be decorated for various children's parties. For example, these could be matinees or other similar events at which taking a photo as a keepsake is a never-ending tradition.
A wedding is also an event where a balloon photo zone is often used. As a rule, such places always stand out from the rest with their brightness and interesting design style. And this is not surprising - many people want to take beautiful and memorable photographs for their wedding.
Photo zones are also made for other events, for example, for friendly parties, for alumni reunions and much more.
Cloud
Another decoration option for a baby shower, because in translation “shower” means “shower” or “rain,” which means a cloud with drops will come in handy.
Choose white or light blue balls for the cloud if you want to achieve realism, but no one forbids you to build a bright, fantasy cloud. The main thing is that the color of the “droplets” matches the color of the “cloud”.
Also, such a cloud is suitable for a birthday party in the style of Masha and the Bear or Winnie the Pooh - to recreate the atmosphere of the forest. And the clouds would also be appropriate for a matinee in kindergarten in honor of the autumn holiday.
How to decorate a hall for a corporate event or wedding with balloons
Nowadays, all kinds of stands, arches or floor structures made of catchy inflatable products are often replaced at events with floral decorations, the price of which significantly hits the budget. And that’s all because decorations made from balls take up less space and can be easily rearranged. Compositions made from balloons can effectively transform even those rooms in which there is not much space. For example, if you moved the celebration of an event to your home, this does not mean that the room will not look beautiful and presentable.
Of course, many different options for combinations of balls can be placed in the hall of a restaurant or cafe. In addition, entrepreneurs who open a new store or establishment often try to buy such products. Moscow is a city where businesses develop in an intensely competitive environment, so bright advertising is a way to stand out from the rest. The price of aerial compositions is quite affordable, so they often become an inexpensive advertising tool in the hands of entrepreneurs.
Decoration with balloons: creating an unforgettable ambience (68 photos)
Today, balloons can be used to create an interesting and memorable holiday atmosphere. They are ideal for indoor or outdoor decoration. Today, balloons come in different models, shapes, and colors, making them suitable for both children’s and adult events. A similar composition of balloons for a birthday, anniversary, wedding or other important event will become an original decoration of the room, and will also create a feeling of lightness and general positivity.
Decoration of the assembly hall in an educational institution
Various events are held in the assembly hall: competitions, quizzes, New Year's performances, concerts. The largest room available to the educational institution is allocated for them. Some types of meetings cannot do without additional decor, for example, a graduation party in kindergarten, the last bell at school.
To do this, it is advisable to use different balls. With the help of these elements you can inexpensively decorate a room, hide its shortcomings, turning them into advantages. A helium arch is often placed on the stage, numbers symbolizing the year, the name of the group or class are hung, banners are installed, and compositions are made in the form of a bell.
You can decorate it with a variety of colors. Gold, white, and red shades are often used. Balls located on the walls and in the middle of the hall may contain interesting inscriptions and a schematic representation of students. For the thematic decoration of the first of September, products in the form of school supplies are used.
Ideas with photos
Regular
Traditional balls are oval spheres made of a mixture of rubber and latex. Depending on how much you inflate them, they will become more or less round.
There may be ordinary air inside. Then the inflated decorative element will calmly lie in place, without trying to fly away anywhere. Or helium - in this case the ball will strive upward towards the ceiling. By the way, buying a can of helium will cost much less than the agency’s services. Depending on the volatility, it is worth choosing the rest of the design. For example, ordinary accessories will beautifully form garlands on tables, walls or an arch. You can tie them in small bouquets and secure them in the center of the table.
Helium balloons can either be released freely so that they hang under the ceiling, or secured at the desired height using weights. A very gentle option is a ceiling dotted with pastel light balls, like clouds.
Ribbons hanging down are decorated with polymer clay hearts, fortune scrolls, or small sweet surprises are tied to them.
Making a balloon figure on the ceiling is another great idea, but securing it is not that easy.
Foil filled with helium
Metallized film makes jewelry more durable than latex counterparts. In addition, foil balls do not have to be round. Heart, swan, crown – there are a wide variety of shapes. Usually such figures are filled with helium, and if they need to be secured not under the ceiling, they are tied to columns, tables, chairs, or weights are attached.
A very interesting solution, both cute and funny, is to create dolls of the bride and groom from foil balloons, smaller or even full-length. This decorative element will wonderfully decorate both the podium and the hood of the wedding procession.
Idea! Large unusual figures made of metallized film are ideal for a themed wedding. An inflatable pirate, gangster or palm tree looks unusual, bright and immediately puts you in the right mood.
Backlit
Balloons can play a supporting role in creating fabulous lighting. This is achieved using the most common LEDs - colored or standard. The former are best used in large transparent spheres, while the latter look great in matte balls. To make the glowing balls look more advantageous, the general lighting must be dimmed. Such elements are very effective in nature, after sunset, and at the very end of the holiday they can be released into the black sky.
Modeling
Long and easily bendable modeling balls are an excellent option for creating the most unexpected compositions. You can use them to make a cartoon image of the newlyweds and place them on a table or in the center of the room. A bouquet or a whole flowerbed of flowers, or any other figures: from angels to doves, look no worse. An interesting solution is to use balloons. As the name suggests, they inflate themselves when you press a button remotely. Colorful clouds suddenly appearing behind the newlyweds will certainly cause everyone's delight , especially if such a mini-performance is staged at some important moment - the first kiss, dance, important toast.
A huge ball - and it can be up to half a meter in diameter - will easily become the center of the composition, around which smaller balls will gather.
Panoramic accessories, transparent on one side and with a pattern on the inside, will also add freshness to any decor.
Figures and inscriptions
Small balloons, filled with helium or ordinary ones, are perfectly assembled into a variety of shapes. They can be mounted on the wall of the presidium, laid out on tables, or hung from the ceiling.
Classic options - one or two large hearts, swans intertwined with their necks, crossed rings. You may well come up with other interesting figures that will reflect the history of your couple. Let it be a symbol of your joint hobby, something that echoes the theme of the wedding or reminds you of the place where you met. As for the inscriptions, they can be completely traditional - “Advice and love”, the names of the newlyweds, a common surname - to unexpected, even mysterious phrases that only the two of you understand.
Advice! It is best to make letters and numbers not from ordinary balloons, but from foil ones. In this case, you can be sure that the inscription will not be deformed due to one or more bursting or deflated elements.
Chains
Chains of balls hanging above your heads make any room look like a fairytale castle. This is a very convenient solution when you need to divide the hall into several zones - for dancing, for relaxing, for eating.
The chains can be plain, transparent, multi-colored, and no one bothers to add a second layer above or below, creating the illusion of a weightless wall. This option is perfect for decorating a podium. Also interesting are the bright thin chains that stand with their legs on different tables and seem to encourage guests to communicate with their neighbors and have fun until they drop. At the end of the ceremony, the decorative element is easily disassembled into its components - and it is these balls that can be launched into the sky for good luck.
An original idea for a contest with balloons: create a special chain of balloons with small sweet surprises. Each guest pops any balloon they like and receives their prize.
Transparent large balls hanging around the room at different levels will create the feeling of festive soap bubbles. It makes a great backdrop for photos and is also a fun interactive element. But make sure that the balls fly above the level of the countertop and do not get dirty with food.
Fairy lights
Non-flying garlands are easily attached to almost any surface, and look great both on walls and on tables, railings, and columns. Plain or consisting of several intertwining shades, they can become the main element of the decor or a bright, bold, unexpected accent that dilutes the main color.
An excellent solution is to play not only with color, but also with the texture of the balls , for example, alternating matte with smooth or transparent.
Arches
This decorative element looks very touching, gentle and airy. The arch can decorate a banquet hall or an outdoor area. In the latter case, however, it must be carefully secured.
An interesting option is several arches forming a tunnel through which the young will pass. In addition to several angles for the photographer, such a structure will add a fabulous feel to any room and divide the room into several zones. If you want to surprise those gathered, why not make an arch out of helium-filled balloons? She will literally float, leaving only tails of satin ribbons on the ground. If necessary, it can be easily moved to the presidium, to the street or to any other place.
The arch does not have to be of a standard shape. You can experiment with swan figures, a giant heart, even vertical columns with satin ribbons stretched between them.
Surprise Balls
Inside the large ball you can place other smaller ones, or confetti, streamers, or small candies. Typically, such a design element is used to burst it at the most solemn moment and shower the happy newlyweds or guests with pleasant bonuses. This can be done at the end of the ceremony, during the dance, or at any other suitable point in time. You can burst the balloon with an ordinary pin - in this case, entrust this important task to the toastmaster or best man.
Idea! If you want to surprise your guests, use a detonator with a remote control. A balloon that bursts on its own will delight everyone without exception, and in addition, it can be hung right up to the ceiling.
Air bouquets on tables
Unlike real flowers, such a decoration will definitely not cause allergies in any of the guests, will not wither by the end of the evening and will be much cheaper.
To create a flower bed, use thin long modeling balls or regular round ones, not inflated too much. If desired, you can create a wide variety of buds, from daisies to tulips, but remember about moderation - too much variety of colors rarely looks elegant.
Baskets for latex floristry can be either real, wicker, or made from the same modeling balls.
It should be comfortable for guests to talk at the table, they should see each other , so use either low horizontal compositions, or, on the contrary, helium balloons hanging above the table and only satin ribbons hanging down.
