You may be wondering how to use balloons to make your event great, which is why we have put together a guide to our 5 top tips to make your balloon display stand out, and bring your most elaborate balloon displays to stunning reality.

Mix Balloon Sizes in your Balloon Display

Any visual display you are putting together must be engaging and attractive. A balloon display is no different!

This is why we are so passionate about all our balloon displays here at Party Save Smile, and giving you the chance to put together a balloon display to wow your guests.

We are visually engaged with objects that have a certain level of creativity in place, as often, looking at the same thing in the same exact composition gets boring. An important element of creating an eye-catching balloon display is using mixed balloon sizes and layers, which can be done with a number of our balloons including our chrome balloons and themed balloons.

Mixing balloon size and layers will ensure you never allow your balloon displays to be boring again, as mixing various sizes can add interest and value to your balloon display. Allow layers of smaller balloons to come out from a central, larger balloon for a more fluid flow to your display.

Coordinating the colours in your DIY Balloon Display

Balloon size is not the only factor to contend with. Don't forget, balloon displays look great with colour and making sure your balloon display offers a coordinated colour display is just as important as the balloon size in making your display look visually appealing.

An easy way to ensure your colours are coordinated is to plan out the décor you are going to use at your celebration and organise your balloon display colours to match. Visually balloon displays are very impactful, but often they are not the only decorations at an event meaning if you get the wrong colour palette, even the greatest balloon display might look underwhelming or just lacklustre!

When you want to create an eye-catching balloon display, you want it to stand out as a piece all its own, but if it does not blend with other colours for the party, the centrepiece may look out of place.

Pick out a pack of coloured balloons focused on one of two colours for your display, and then think about the co-ordinating colours, so that your balloon arch or helium balloons bouquets can mimic the other colours at the event.

Consider various shades of the same colour for your display or contrasting colour combinations to create bold visual decorations.

Give your Balloon Display a Theme

Every party needs a theme, and a balloon display should be no different!

When you are creating eye-catching balloon displays, you want your theme to be emphasised. Choosing a theme does not have to be difficult, it could be a simple colour or something more specific, for example, a child's birthday party may have a mermaid theme or animals theme.

Theming your balloon displays adds just a little extra level of extravagance to the party, and whilst most people are not artists by trade, a great themed foil balloon should do the trick and make your balloon display look great! Adding in a few touches to your balloon display to showcase the theme is relatively easy. For instance, if your theme is all about superheroes, add their emblem to the balloon display to keep everything in keeping.

For best results, and for those who lack the artistic hand for drawing and painting, here at Party Save Smile, we think latex balloons are an easy way to go that extra mile without causing any unnecessary stress. They are a great choice for making your DIY balloon display look amazing.

Personalise your Balloon Display

Themed balloon displays look great, but when great is not quite enough, and you need to bring the wow factor to the party, you cannot beat personalisation.

If you’re in need of a balloon display at a birthday party or for balloon table displays, a personalised touch to the décor will take you a long way.

Personalised balloon displays, such as our personalised bubble balloons, are great for adding the name of a person or company and help to bring the focus of the display to what the personalised message is for.

Personalised balloons can make the birthday boy or girl feel extra special on their day, or if it is for a brand it can help guests remember companies names, not to mention help your brand stand out and impress customers or business associates. Our corporate balloon options can help your business stand out from the crown at your next event.

Having a personalised balloon display is a great way to add a little personality to your event and emphasise the reason why everyone is at the party. Personalisation is a key ingredient in making any DIY balloon display uniquely your own, so get a little creative and bring a personal touch to the party through your balloons.

Spare Balloons for your Balloon Display

We have left the most obvious tip until last, but having spare balloons at your party is the most important one of all, and often the most overlooked tip of them all…

Make sure you have some spare balloons! Our balloons are all of the highest quality, but as with everything, things do go wrong. The more balloons you need for your display, the more chance of you making an error, putting a balloon in the wrong place or one letting you down.

To complete your balloon display, you are going to need the right number of balloons, what if you encounter an issue or make a mistake? Well if you have some trusty spares, you can just work around the issue, but without spares, the display becomes a whole lot more difficult!

A top tip that balloon experts don’t often let you in on is that they always carry spares! Why? Well they can make mistakes too! A balloon professional makes wonderful balloon displays, and so can you, but when the amount of balloons in the display is scarce due to improper planning, your display is less likely to give that wow factor you’re after.

Unfortunately when balloons are stretched and pressurised, the slightest mistake can cause balloons to rip, tear or pop, even the best balloon professional has had this happen!

Whether you are working on a unique balloon garland or a helium balloon display, make sure you have extra balloons to go around. If you end up with extras, why not try your hand at decorating some other part of the party with balloons, after all, you can never have too many balloons!

So there you have it, some top tips to set you on your way to creating your next balloon display, or even your first! If you find yourself endlessly combing the internet for balloon displays, why not give it a go yourself and try something a little different!
