What people are saying...
"Thank you very much for the wonderful balloons! They looked amazing and made the party extra special".
Mrs Caley, Stafford
Traditionally, balloon decor (arches, columns, garland) has been created using balloons in a uniform way; for example, the same size and type of balloon put together in a structured way. Organic decor is quite the opposite, using a mix of balloon sizes and types, built together in clusters to create beautiful displays.
This style of balloon decor is becoming increasingly popular and you can see why. It can be used in so many ways – for example; to decorate entrances or staircases, to create a backdrop, as a feature next to cake tables or photo props, garland for table decor or to create stand alone arches and columns. Other materials are often included in the design – for example; foliage, flowers or pom poms.
Considerations
If you’re thinking about having some organic balloons at your event, it’s worth giving some thought first of all as to where the balloons will be positioned. A lot of the designs (for example the half arches and garland, shown below) do not need to be built on a frame. However, they are not completely freestanding and so need just a few fixing points to secure the balloons to. These don’t need to be super strong, just enough to be able to secure the balloons, to prevent them from falling over. Examples of fixing points could be light fittings, nails or hooks in the wall, pipes on the wall – basically anything that you can wrap some wire or string around. Alternatively, if the balloons are to go next to a smooth painted wall, we could use removable hooks – however, we would ask that you agree this with the venue beforehand to make sure that they are happy for these hooks to be used. It’s also worth checking that the balloons won’t be positioned too close to a radiator or anything else that might cause them to burst. We would recommend that you arrange to have a quick look around the venue prior to booking to establish where the balloons could go.

Frames
We also have a selection of frames that can be used with your organic balloon designs and we continue to add to this collection. All of our frames are treated as a hire item, which means that we ask for a security deposit at the time of booking. This is fully refundable on safe collection (or return) of the frame.
Large circle arch
Made with a white metal frame, this circle arch is approximately 3m x 2.5m.
It can be completely covered in balloons, or partially covered, like the design opposite. You can use all latex balloons for this design or include other types of balloons and accessories, such as foil balloons, confetti balloons, foliage or pom poms.
This frame is only suitable for indoor use.
Rectangular frames
All sorts of wonderful designs can be achieved with these rectangular frames. They can be decorated with a small amount of balloons or you can really go to town with the design. You can also use the frames to hang things on - for example seating plans, other decoration or personalised plaques. See our Pinterest board to see more ideas for different designs using these frames.
Suitable for indoor use only.
Traditional arch shape
Our arch frames come in the following sizes:
- 2.3m (W) x 1.75m (H)
- 3m (W) x 2.5m (H)
- 5m (W) x 2.5m (H)
- 7m (W) x 3.5m (H)
Suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Please note: whilst all the frames can be used outdoors, only the two larger frames are completely weather resistant; they are freestanding and won't be blown over by the wind. The two smaller arches need to be secured to something to prevent them from blowing over. This isn't usually an issue if the arch is being positioned outside an entrance, for example, where there are usually some fixing points to secure the arch to.
Square wooden frame
This is a new frame that we have added to our collection and are looking forward to creating some beautiful backdrops with it! It is a wooden frame, painted white, approximately 2m x 2m.
The frame can be decorated with trails of organic balloons. It can also be used to hang things from - for example; material backdrops, lanterns, streamers and other decor for themed parties and events. The possibilities are endless!
Suitable for indoor use only.
Hoops
These circular white metal frames make great table top displays. Available in three sizes; 120cm, 100cm and 80cm in diameter. Personalised plaques can also be incorporated into the design, as shown on the image opposite.
Suitable for indoor use only.
Heart and circle columns
These columns make great photo props, as well as adding to the decor.
Available in a heart shape, as shown opposite, or a circle shape. We can create all sorts of designs using this frame for all occasions.
