2. Select Your Colors
The foundation of any themed balloon garland is the color palette. Colors are key when it comes to setting the tone for your event. Start by selecting colors that are consistent with your party theme.
The theme or occasion will greatly influence the color choices of your balloon garland. For example, if you’re hosting a tropical luau, opt for vibrant hues of turquoise, coral, and sunny yellow. For a Gatsby-inspired affair, opt for classic black, gold, and silver.
Pick out balloons in your chosen color palette to create the base of your garland. The key is to choose colors that evoke the mood and atmosphere you want to create.
3. Add Decorative Accents
Now it’s time to get creative! Think about how you can incorporate elements of your theme into your balloon garland.
This could include decorative elements like paper cutouts, banners, or even small props that are relevant to your theme. For example, a woodland-themed baby shower you can incorporate faux greenery, pinecones, and miniature woodland creatures into your balloon garland.
For a tropical vibe, add in some fun pineapple or flamingo-shaped balloons. For a Gatsby theme, consider adding in strands of faux pearls or glittery accents!
Accents can be large or small objects that will give your decorations that extra flare. Check out our accessories here!
