Anyone using Balloon Decorations?????

Well, this is the best looking balloon centerpieces I could find. Honestly, I don't like them much. All other ballon centerpieces looked like a birthday party or bridal shower

In My opinion... I would tell her No... unless she shows you something amazing... and go with your original idea. Otherwise, here is some other ideas.

I love the white balloon centerpiece i have terrible allergies and so does my son so i have been trying to figure out what kind of center pieces to use,these are great ideas thanks for sharing.

If I had to choose it would be the white balloon centerpiece!

I agree with Hayley C. I am not a fan of the ballon centerpiece. I had thought of using balloons to release instead of the throwing rice or blowing bubbles as we exit, but that is the only way that I considered balloons.

Keep in mind that sometimes balloons can slowly deflate and begin to "sag" as the night goes on. You don't want saggy centerpieces before you even cut the cake. Just a thought.

I was at a bridal show on Sunday and I saw a lot of balloon decorations and they were beautiful. I am thinking about using them because it would be more cost effective than flowers.

I could never use balloons! I HATE the sound of balloons popping!

I like the ones that Haylee C posted.

At one point, I thought about using lighted balloons for our reception. However, every picture I looked at reminded me too much of a kids' birthday party. We ended up using paper lanterns instead.

I agree with 2d! Paper lanterns is a very nice alternative. Plus with latex allergies, balloon popping will can of dampen the mood. Will there be children there? They see balloons and get to popping.

I really like balloons and thought of using them but decided they aren't really for a wedding. I did see one picture of a bride with balloons that I really liked, let me see if I can find it.

I have been to weddings where silver mylars were used to decorate the DJ area. It wasn't my style, but it was rather pretty. There isn't a sagging issue with mylars, but then again, I dont think you could do centerpieces shown with mylars.

I personally have never seen balloon decorations i like. ill just keep it at that!

Steer clear of balloons. It's very high school dance-ish looking. There's nothing breathtaking about them at all.

We cant have balloons... but I guess I didn't want balloons. The venue has vaulted ceilings with roof dormers. I guess a lot of balloons have got lost up there lol.

A lot of cities have regulations about releasing balloons.

Ewww ... personally I'm not a fan of balloons at the wedding reception, to me it's going to look to much like a birthday party or like a bridal shower ... doesn't quite fit in with my vibe of Autumn Enchantment ... but you could always do silk flowers for those that are allergic to the real thing surrounded by votive candles (flameless if need be) on circular mirrors.

My mother had a big garden wedding back in the early 70's. The garden was in full bloom so they used yellow and white balloons to add a personal touch. The pictures are really nice. I would not use them as centerpieces.

Balloon decorations totally remind me of prom. tell your wp no, your ideas sounds much prettier and will definitely fit with your theme.

Balloons quickly start to look like a child's birthday party...the last wedding I shot where they had them, the kids started taking them down and sucking the helium out of them. It got out of hand pretty quickly.

Flowers CAN be expensive, it's true...but you can do a lot with twigs, branches, moss and greenery. I've also seen Chinese paper lanterns and upside-down paper parasols looks really beautiful - very cost effective. You can do better than balloons!
