Balloon decorations are a commodity at parties and special events in Singapore because of the colours they bring and the joy they elicit in you. Regardless of the occasion you’re planning for, balloons are the perfect decorative element to style your celebrations.

However, the huge range of balloon decorations can sometimes be confusing, which makes planning and decorating a tedious process. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! Check out this list of balloon decorations and learn how you can possibly style them.

 

1.Balloon Bouquets

Balloon bouquets are excellent pieces of decoration suitable for all sorts of events and occasions, such as a proposal, a birthday, a wedding or any other event. They come in a wide variety of sizes, colours and themes and are usually presented in a large bundle all by themselves.

You can choose between different numbers of balloons, different sizes and even customise the colour palette of your balloon bouquet. For a birthday party, simply customise your balloon bouquet in your favourite colour scheme, and place one of them at every corner of the room or at the entrance. For a proposal setup, simply placing one balloon bouquet at each side of the main proposal spot can do wonders to your setup. You can even pair them with some floral arrangements and a “will you marry me” banner for some extra romance.

 

2. Coloured Latex Balloons

Among balloon decorations, the most commonly used is coloured latex balloons. They are produced in a spectrum of colours and can be utilised for many different occasions, ranging from large event setups to small-scale and intimate ones, such as a proposal setup. 

Scattering a bunch of air-inflated latex balloons on the ground or allowing helium-filled latex balloons to fill up your ceiling space can help set the mood and make your space look cosier and more put together.

If you’re planning something and the decorations don’t matter too much, coloured latex balloons will work best for you. They are fun to play with and can even give your photos a magical touch.

 

3. Customised Bubble Balloons

Customised balloons are always a delight and are one of the simplest ways to decorate your party. Especially with clear bubble balloons, you can even personalise the text printed on them to cater to your occasion.

They are most suitable for very small-scale and intimate events, where you don’t need large and fanciful decorations, such as a birthday party with your closest friends and family, a proposal, or a bachelorette party. Pair them with a small and pretty backdrop or another balloon bouquet and your party is good to go. You can even customise the balloon and give it as a gift to someone.

 

4. Hot Air Balloons

Hot air balloons, not the ones that we fly in, are novel and adorable gifts great for company events, prize presentations and for sending well wishes to a new mother, someone celebrating a birthday, or to bid farewell.

While some of these hot air balloon gifts are simply decorative, many other hot air balloons can include a variety of gifts for different occasions, such as Korean snacks for a friend’s birthday, Ferrero rocher chocolates for a lover, and nourishment gifts for a new mom.

 

5. Character Foil Balloons

Time travel back to when you were a child with some adorable character foil balloons, where they magically bring a sense of fun and youthfulness to your parties. These balloons are made out of foil and printed with cartoon characters that are sure to flip a frown upside down.

Though character foil balloons are most commonly used at children’s celebrations and children love playing with them, they can be used at your own birthday celebration as well. Who wouldn’t want to feel like a happy-go-lucky kid again?

 

6. Helium Balloons

Helium balloons are a hot favourite amongst teens and adults. We all remember inhaling helium from balloons at the end of a party and laughing at our friends’ squeaky voices.

Balloon decorations filled with helium are amazing because they are able to stay upright during the event. They can be used to line the path to your proposal spot, fill the ceiling space, enhance the appearance of your dessert table or photobooth, and more. If you’re planning to decorate your space with coloured latex balloons, consider filling them with helium for extra fun.

 

7. Balloon Arch

Large balloon sculptures, such as a balloon arch, can be beautified with a variety of other decorative items such as floral arrangements, fairy lights, foliage and more. Due to the sheer size of these arches, their mere existence is enough to create a festive atmosphere.

They are most ideal for corporate events such as a grand opening, dinner and dance, or for use at weddings, where they can be placed at the front of the aisle where you’ll exchange your vows, or at the entrance to your wedding venue for your guests to bask in the festivities and vibrant colours.

 

8. Balloon Garland

Balloon garlands make for the perfect decoration in every celebration. They are highly customisable balloon decorations that are simple yet magnificent.

Create a centrepiece at your party with a large balloon garland filled with lush foliage and position it around your dessert table, or embellish the garland with confetti filled clear balloons for an extra sparkle and have it cascade down the sides of your photobooth.

Smaller balloon garlands can be created with smaller balloons the size of a fist. Couple it with light foliage and decorate tables with them.

Whether you’re planning to enchant your better half during a proposal or inject happiness into your party, you’re now well-equipped with the different types of balloon decorations to make the best decoration decision.
