What could be more whimsical than giant round pastel balloons on your wedding day!? I am absolutely gaga over these cuties! They add such a wonderful air (no pun intended!) of innocent sophistication to wedding day decor. You may be asking: why GIANT balloons? Why not just regular balloons? There is a big difference (again no pun intended) between plain old party balloons and giant round balloons. They are statement pieces, more special than average balloons, and your day should be anything but average. Imagine walking into a reception space (indoor or outdoor) and seeing normal balloons, what comes to my mind (please don’t be offended) is that I just stepped out of a wedding and into a prom or sweet sixteen party. Now, imagine walking in and catching a glimpse of a few adorable over-sized balloons sprinkled here or there, wonder and curiosity are sure to ensue.
Tassel garlands and giant balloons go hand in hand. They are impeccably stylish and are perfect for your sparkly, fun-filled day! Here are some images for reference.
Tassel garlands are great for stringing balloons or perfect for hanging over your dessert table, or both! You decide 🙂 It’s not hard to make them yourself (find a great D-I-Y step by step guide here http://www.thetomkatstudio.com/howtomaketasselgarland/), or if you are not the crafty type you can purchase them on Etsy from these adorable shops.

These jumbo balloons don’t have to be all dolled up to be splendid, they also look great with a simple string tied around them. This more understated look suits them well because of their bold appearance. Be careful when/if you are going to purchase these balloons for yourself, read descriptions carefully as you may end up purchasing a regular balloon with a more oblong shape or a mylar balloon. You might try searching for giant balloons, round balloons, or over-sized balloons. Here are a few places that sell them:
Koyal Wholesale sells these them in pairs for $10.98, check out their color choices here: http://www.koyalwholesale.com/c1422/big-balloons new.html&zenid=f3b53036ee4e181c1e73c5a963bcaa10
