Nothing says “party” like balloons. Brides who choose balloon cloud wedding decoration 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 decorating ideas that brides usually choose for their wedding. Balloon clouds and archways are the most popular wedding balloon decorating ideas. The balloon cloud wedding decoration consists of three groupings of helium-filled balloon clusters connected with coordinating streamers.
The trick to hanging balloon clouds is the right balance of weight from the streamers and amount of helium. Each helium balloon cloud 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 balloon cloud decorations are over the gift table, cake table or guest book table.
A variation on the balloon cloud wedding decoration idea is the cloud column that can serve as balloon decors for gazebos or entrances 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 this type of balloon cluster arrangement 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 balloon clouds look like flowers and are attached to streamers that hang from the wall or ceiling. The best way to make these balloon cloud wedding decorations 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.
When decorating a wedding hall with balloons like these, it is best to place the balloon cloud decorations behind the wedding 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 wedding balloon table arrangements. Balloon clouds can be formed with four or six balloons and kept in place with a weighted streamer. These wedding balloon table arrangements 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 balloon cluster arrangements 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 balloon wedding decorating ideas or work with your wedding planner to choose the right amount of balloon cluster arrangements for your special day.
