Both options can look beautiful. The right one depends on the design, the venue and how long the decor needs to last.
Air-filled balloons
Air-filled balloons are the foundation of most garlands, arches and backdrops.
- They stay inflated for days, so they suit installations that go up early.
- They hold up well outdoors and in warm rooms.
- They can be sculpted into shapes and attached to frames.
Helium balloons
Helium balloons float, which makes them ideal for ceiling clusters, centerpieces and bouquets.
- They add height and movement to a room.
- Latex helium balloons usually float for a day or less, so timing matters.
- Heat and direct sunlight shorten their life.
Which one fits your event?
| Design | Best choice |
|---|---|
| Garland or arch | Air-filled |
| Backdrop or balloon wall | Air-filled |
| Ceiling clusters | Helium |
| Table centerpieces | Helium |
| Outdoor installations | Air-filled |
Combining both
Many designs use both: an air-filled garland for structure and a few floating clusters for height. Tell us about your venue and your timeline and we will recommend what will look best and last through your event. Start a quote request whenever you are ready.
