## What Is a Balloon Garland?

A balloon garland is a long string of balloons tied together in short sections and draped around doorways, ceilings, arches, tables, or walls. Balloon garlands are one of the most popular types of balloon installations today, driven by the rise of social media and the demand for photo-worthy party décor.

## Why Balloon Garlands Are Popular

- Budget-friendly way to create a major visual impact
- Can stay intact for several days
- Suitable for birthdays, weddings, graduations, anniversaries, corporate events, and more
- Create organic, lush looks that are highly photogenic
- Used by celebrities, influencers, and everyday hosts alike

## What Balloons Are Used for Garlands?

Most balloon garlands use latex balloons in a mix of sizes — from 5" mini balloons up to 36" jumbo balloons — creating an organic, layered look. Any balloon colors can be used to match the party theme: bright assorted colors for birthdays, metallic or pastel hues for weddings and upscale events.

## How Much Does a Balloon Garland Cost?

Professional balloon decorators charge approximately $12–$60 per foot. A 10-foot garland can cost $120–$600 when hired out. A DIY approach dramatically reduces this cost.

## How to Make a DIY Balloon Garland — The Fastest Method

The easiest, fastest, and most professional-looking DIY method is to use a balloon garland kit with a reusable balloon decorating strip (rather than fishing wire and hot glue, which is messy and difficult).

**8 Reasons to Love the DIY Balloon Garland Kit:**

2. Can be created a few hours before the event
3. Stays inflated for up to several days
4. No fishing wire needed
5. No hot glue gun required
