How to Decorate Balloons Without Using Helium?

However, there is one problem when decorating with balloons. That is the high price of "helium gas" used to make the balloons float.

While balloons themselves are easily available at 100 yen shops for an affordable price, helium gas to float them is expensive no matter where you buy it.

If you request balloon decorations at a wedding venue, the cost for helium gas is additional, quickly bringing the estimate to tens of thousands of yen...!

Though colorful balloons floating can be cute, if you need to save money, casually requesting them becomes difficult,

which is a dilemma that many brides face regarding balloon decorations.

But! If you decorate with balloons without using helium, that problem is solved.

This time, I will introduce ways to decorate with balloons cutely without using helium gas ♩

Try proposing this method to your planner and consult if it can be done affordably＊

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #1: Stick Them on the Ceiling

The first idea I'm presenting is to stick them directly on the ceiling using double-sided tape or clear tape!

By directly adhering them to the ceiling, they will appear to be floating even without helium gas, which is the key point◎

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #2: Spread Them on the Floor

A cute idea is to place inflated balloons directly on the floor in a scattered manner!

It can create a romantic atmosphere like being on top of the clouds ♩

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #3: Hang Them from Strings

Another idea is to hang the balloons from the ceiling using strings＊

The balloons will sway slightly with even a little breeze, making it look like they're actually floating◎

Here’s the view when they are hung with fairy lights.

They also look cute when hung with tulle,

or hung with a flag garland like a sports day for a lively and cute atmosphere＊

If you hang only heart-shaped balloons, you can create a romantic decoration suitable for weddings♡

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #4: Stick Them on the Wall

Instead of the ceiling, there's also the idea of sticking them directly on the wall◎

You can cover a wall completely to create a balloon photo booth,

or by adding strings and ribbons to numerous balloons, you can capture vibrant photos as if they are floating♩

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #5: Balloon Arch

If there’s an arch for flower decorations at the wedding venue, having a balloon arch can also be glamorous♡

It is often more affordable to decorate with balloons for a fuller effect compared to flowers ♩

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #6: Decorate a Structure with an Arch

This is a slightly advanced technique, but the idea is to prepare a base for the arch and decorate it with lots of balloons＊

It is recommended for conservatories or gazebo decorations,

or to adorn the entrance doors ♩

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #7: Decorate a Tree

There’s also the idea of decorating the wedding venue's symbol tree or wedding tree with balloons＊

You can hang strings with lots of balloons like a garland or suspend them like ornaments on a Christmas tree for a lovely effect ♩

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #8: Incorporating Balloons into the Main Table Floral Arrangement

Mixing balloons into the main table floral arrangement is also a fresh and fantastic idea!

Not only will it enhance the visual appeal, but it is also more cost-effective than using floral arrangements＊

Balloon Decoration Without Helium #9: Using Balloon Props

Using "balloon props" that come with sticks allows you to hold them or place them in vases, making them great for photo opportunities♡

The "bubble balloon" with baby's breath can have custom text added, making it perfect for weddings＊

They do not deflate for about a month, so you can keep decorating even after the wedding ♩
