Event Decoration Ideas - Balloon Decorations

Although balloons are usually associated with children's parties and other family and in-house events, they can become a serious tool in decorating such big ventures as corporate parties, office events, tradeshow booths, weddings and anything that comes to mind. Balloon decor is one of the cheapest, fastest (both to install and to dismantle) ways to make any event fun and attractive. In addition they are biodegradable!

Often you can put your own decorations around the office. The simplest is just putting a few balloon bouquets here and there. For a more serious touch consider inviting a decoration team. Here is what to expect from them.

Basic Balloon Decor Elements

Bouquets
Bouquets are the simplest way to decorate a party no matter big or small. They are often displayed in banks or stores. No matter what other elements you use to decorate and event a few balloon bouquets will also be there.

Arches
An arch-shaped construction made with air or helium balloons. Spiral balloon arches are very attractive and are best outside or inside a large room to allow guests go underneath. You can also place an arch on stage. Arch fountains are light and go across the whole banquet or concert hall to give a lot of embellishment without taking up any of the room space. Often fountain arches are combined with balloon pillars.

Pillars (Columns)

	Pillars or columns are vertically shaped constructions. They decorate the event without taking up any ceiling space. They are often combined with arches for more interesting effect. Pillars can be made with helium or air balloons. Helium pillar does not need any vertical support because the balloons are light and pull themselves up. However if you need to place the pillars outside consider using air balloon construction which is attached to a vertical support. The reason is that the wind might be misplacing the unsupported helium balloons and the desired vertical shape will be lost.

Balloon Drops and Releases
Graduation Balloon Drop

One effective way to excite your guests at most important part of the event. They are the best in a high ceiling room. The balloons hide behind a net hanging under the ceiling. At the very important moment the net opens up and hundreds of bright light balloons start falling down. The balloons might be stuffed with candy or other interesting things. Be careful to place such an attraction in a high ceiling hall. If the ceiling is low you might want to spend the decor money on a few extra bouquets or smaller pillars. The reason is that in a room with low ceiling, the net holding the balloons will be easily noticeable - the element of surprise might be lost and visual effect might also be diminished. On the other hand, right after the drop the ceiling will stay empty with just the net hanging down and there would be not much other decor left in the room.

Balloon Walls
Balloon walls are a good way to display any sort of message to your guests. It can display the name of the birthday person, company logo, an important date or anything else you can think of. In an explosive wall all balloons explode at the same moment providing extra excitement to the event culmination.
