Pretty + Cool Wedding Balloons ~ Wedding Ideas + Tutorials

I’d like to say a massive thank you to Summer Lily Studios for inspiring my post today. She tweeted asking where she might purchase round balloons. So after a little tinternet search I found out you can purchase them from here.

I must admit I’ve always been a little snobby about wedding balloon decor, thinking them unimaginative, cheap and tacky… but wedding balloon decor has had a super-cool makeover. Yes, balloons are back and they are chic-er than ever!

Here’s how to do balloons for your wedding day…

Firstly, purchase your round balloons in your desired colours and then get your craft on by making your own fringe tasseling! Vintage, pastel, pretty, modern or bold ~ there are no limits here, only your imagination.

These lace balloons are sooooo pretty, you can either apply the lace to the round balloons {filled with helium} or apply to the balloon and then pop for a hanging decoration. Check out this fab lace balloon tutorial.

It’s such a cute idea to include balloons in your creative wedding photos. I love the simplicity of the organza thread.

And the black lace on these geronimo balloons is totally glam!

Low on money for the flower budget? Attach pretty coloured helium filled balloons to your ceremony chairs.

Super cute idea: how about mini helium balloon wedding invites? Great for a more intimate number of wedding guests.
