Preparing for a wedding celebration is one of the most important and exciting moments in life. You need to decide on the amount of holiday expenses, count the number of guests, choose the style of the event, find a photographer, host, etc. And, of course, the decoration of the wedding hall!
Beautiful balloons, bouquets of flowers, draperies – there are a lot of ideas! The options for decorating the hall with balloons are especially varied. Some 50 years ago there was nothing to choose from, but now one’s eyes are wide open from all sorts of types, shapes and colors of balloons.
What can you combine balloons with?
Perhaps, balls are one of the few decorative elements that can be combined with almost any material. So, what should you combine airy compositions with to get a wow effect?
- Textile materials. You can use both flowing tulle and heavy satin. The balls are covered with fabric or tails are made from the material, which gives the balls perkiness.
- Satin ribbons. Usually, balls are tied to ribbons and allowed to “float” freely, and various figures (hearts, stars, small pompoms) are strung on long ribbons.
- Fresh and artificial flowers. Both options in tandem with balls look luxurious. The choice between live plants and props is determined only by your desires and budget. The registration area and the banquet, in particular the newlyweds’ table and the wall behind it, are decorated with flowers and balloons. Small flower bouquets are attached to the base of the balls to decorate tables for guests. Moreover, they choose a contrasting palette of shades that complement each other.
- Paper decor. The duo of balloons and paper looks amazingly beautiful for wedding decoration. Photos will confirm this. For decoration, paper flowers of different sizes, Chinese lanterns, voluminous pompoms, paper fruits, hearts, etc. are used. The requirement for paper is standard - the color palette is consistent with the general style.
- Greenery. The combination of lush greenery and white balls is perfect! Nothing superfluous and at the same time extremely advantageous. This option is good for eco-weddings and celebrations in the warm season.
- Wicker baskets. When decorating a wedding, balloons are sometimes combined with small wicker baskets to decorate banquet tables, and large ones to create a corner in which you can take beautiful photos.
With a little creativity and patience, you can make your own balloon wedding decorations. This way you will save your budget and discover a new creative beginning in yourself.

Combination with other elements
If the decoration of the hall consists mainly of balloons, then an abundance of additional decorative elements will not be required. Most often they use bright paper pom poms for a cute design or fabric and ribbon for an elegant and formal atmosphere. If you also use single color LED string lights, you will get an even more vibrant and vibrant environment.
Balloons work best with fabrics and ribbons. Translucent drapery hangs on the walls, tablecloths are laid out on the tables, and chairs are decorated with blankets.
This is enough to create a harmonious design for a wedding reception. From the balls you can create garlands, hearts, rings and other figures that are placed at the table of the bride and groom, decorated with “swings” made of translucent fabrics.
Some elements are not suitable for creating a harmonious composition. For example, balloons do not combine well with fresh and artificial flowers, since they all simultaneously attract attention and “compete” in the decor. You can place just a few small floral arrangements on the tables or add green climbing plants to the ball chains.
How to decorate a wedding hall yourself
If you have chosen an economical option and decided to decorate the hall yourself, do not forget that you cannot do it alone. The first thing you need to do is find yourself a few reliable assistants who will go shopping with you, glue, sculpt, sew and draw whatever you say. After that, come up with an action plan together. Go to the restaurant where the celebration will take place, sketch out the layout of the hall and mark the tables, all the guests and the decorations that you want to see in all the details. If you find it difficult to imagine in your mind how to decorate a hall for a wedding, photos on the Internet and wedding magazines will help you make your choice.
Once you've chosen your decorations, it's time to purchase the materials. In principle, the materials used for this are the same as those used to decorate cars for a wedding. Therefore, by deciding to decorate your cars and banquet hall yourself, you kill two birds with one stone and save a lot. So, let's look at the main types of jewelry that you can make with your own hands.
Fairy lights. Interesting and inexpensive decoration. You can use absolutely any material: fabric glued to cardboard, colored paper, artificial and fresh flowers, lace and even sweets, if they do not threaten the guests’ outfits. Garlands can hang horizontally on the wall or hang vertically from the ceiling. To make the simplest but most effective garland, simply cut circles from colored construction paper, put them on a thread and secure their location with glue. If you hang several of these threads in the doorway, the appearance of the bride and groom will be especially solemn. You can also make voluminous garlands from thick paper or cardboard, or use multi-colored flags or ribbons.
Flowers. Rarely is a wedding complete without fresh flowers. If you want to create a flower arrangement yourself, take the time to consult with a florist. Not all of the bride's wishes will be appropriate at the wedding. For example, people who know how to properly decorate a hall for a wedding will tell you that only dense buds are suitable for garlands and the ceiling, which will not cover the clothes of guests and newlyweds with pollen. Placing flowers in serving bowls is also a bad idea, as the buds may be treated with chemicals that prolong the life of the flowers but threaten the digestion of guests.
It is also important to choose the right flowers so that they are in the same color scheme as the overall decor, the bride’s dress and the groom’s boutonniere. By the way, the flowers left over from the decoration of the hall can be used later when creating a bride’s bouquet with your own hands
- Fabric decorations. Any designer knows that with the help of textiles you can incredibly transform any room in a matter of hours. This applies not only to tablecloths and chair covers, but also to drapery on walls, ceilings and an elegant tent for lovers of outdoor weddings. It is better to entrust such a complex procedure as draping walls to professionals, but you can make capes for chairs and tablecloths yourself. Just remember to stop in time: do not overdo it with frills, bows and other details, otherwise the banquet hall will look overloaded. Such accessories are more suitable for a children's room than for a wedding hall.
- Pompoms. Paper pom-poms have been used at weddings relatively recently. This is an original and inexpensive decoration that is easy to make with your own hands from paper. To decorate a banquet hall for a wedding, pom-poms can be hung by a thread, made into a garland, or placed on tables. This decoration looks very advantageous in photos and videos if you have chosen the right photographer.
Bedroom
Chandeliers in the bedroom interior play a special role in creating coziness, especially in a modern interior with simple and functional furniture. When choosing a lamp, you need to take into account the height of the ceiling and the size of the bed, the color of the furniture and walls. For a bedroom, a chandelier with adjustable light intensity is best.

Ways to decorate a wedding with balloons
Decorating a wedding with balloons is always a gorgeous and stylish option. There are many ways to use balloons in wedding decorations, and they all look very attractive and interesting. One of these methods is a chain. This decoration consists of balloons lined up in a row and as if forming a continuous chain. It can be arranged in the shape of a rainbow. In this case, you will get an interesting arch made of balloons, elegantly decorating the hall or table where the newlyweds will sit.
To decorate the table, you can make an original background from several such chains superimposed on each other. You can make a tunnel out of balloons, which will serve as a kind of passage for the newlyweds and guests to the place of celebration. The chain can also be used to decorate stairs by tying balls to the railings, as shown in the photo below. The chain is one of the simplest, but nevertheless very beautiful decorations made of balls, which you can even make with your own hands.
Another elegant wedding decoration is a garland of balloons. Unlike a chain, the balls in a garland are pressed more tightly and seem to be intertwined with each other. Very often, such a garland is used as a decoration for railings, and stunning airy arches are made from them. Decorating with flowers will add even more attractiveness to an already beautiful garland of balloons. The interweaving of balloons and flowers always looks very gentle and romantic. In addition, ceilings or walls are decorated with garlands of balls.
Very often at weddings you can find hearts symbolizing love. Such a beautiful design is also in most cases the merit of balloons. Making hearts out of them has already become something of a classic among wedding decorations. You can diversify this decoration with airy fabric, which in combination with balloons creates a rather gentle atmosphere. Balloons are also used to make figures such as swans or wedding rings.
Where to start decorating a room
Once the location of the ceremony has been finalized, planning the decorative elements can begin. The first thing to start with is choosing a theme for the decor and the main colors of the wedding. If the entire wedding is dedicated to a specific theme, then naturally the decoration of the hall will be appropriate. In other cases, you can select the style and colors that will match the location of the celebration.
After choosing a theme, we decide on specific areas that will be decorated for the celebration. Most often these are the following places in the hall:
- tables on which you can place vases or baskets of flowers;
- decoration of glasses;
- decoration of the restaurant space;
- small accessories that create the impression of a wedding (invitations, guest cards, napkin rings, etc.).
Purchasing decor for a wedding can be more expensive than ordering a banquet. However, most design elements can be made with your own hands by watching several thematic videos on the Internet. The bride and her bridesmaids can make glasses for the newlyweds, exquisite napkin rings and small boxes with gifts for guests.
Surprise Balls
Surprise balloons can be very interesting decorations. Their peculiarity is that in a large balloon there are many more small balls, and with them streamers and confetti, which will begin to fall on lovers and guests, as soon as this huge balloon is pierced. Such a magical decoration is undoubtedly a must-have for any wedding.
Creativity is an important part of wedding design and is always encouraged. Therefore, if ordinary balloons seem boring to you, you can replace them with foil balloons in the shape of the bride and groom, hearts, swans and other various shapes that match the style of your wedding. Such balloons are guaranteed to look original, very cute and funny.
It would seem, what could be so unusual about balloons? However, it’s worth showing a little imagination, and now the classic decoration for any holiday will become an unusually beautiful and original design for your wedding.

Classic
Made of latex, usually round or oval in shape, in a single color. Using these balls, figures, arches, patterns, and garlands are constructed. This is the basis and main material for creating interesting compositions.
Figured balls
In most cases, for weddings they are presented in the shape of a heart. Usually red, pink, white or gold. They are placed as a separate composition in the form of bouquets and fountains.
Helium balloons
They have any shape and appearance. They are inflated with a special gas - helium, so that the balls float under the ceiling. Decorators make interesting strings that connect the ball to the weight. Several balls are placed in this way, forming interesting combinations.
Foil balloons, or mylar
Made from special materials: fusion of layers of polyethylene and surface metallized coating. They are particularly durable and come in a wide variety of shapes.
LED balls
Small batteries with diode light bulbs are placed inside the ball. They shine from two to seven days. This depends on the power of the battery placed inside. At the request of the young people, they select light bulbs that glow in different colors. Products with LEDs are also called neon, but this is one concept. An incredibly touching moment will be the launch of glowing balloons on your wedding evening.

Balloon decoration for a wedding - an affordable and versatile type of decoration
There are many options for wedding hall decoration. Before making your choice, familiarize yourself with the main types of compositions. It will be easier for you to imagine what you want and explain it to the decorator.
In most cases, when decorating a wedding, the following compositions are used:
- chains of balls;
- Garlands;
- hearts, rings, swans;
- bouquets of balloons on the table;
- floor bouquets;
- racks;
- arches and gazebos;
- ceiling decorations;
- surprise balloon or confetti balloon;

- giant balls.
To make your wedding composition look impressive, arrange each of its elements thoughtfully and carefully.
There are three main zones in the decor:
The central table of the newlyweds is the place where all the attention of guests, photographers, and video operators is concentrated. Therefore, direct all your efforts to designing this particular area.
Behind the main heroes of the occasion, a large composition is placed in the form of one or two hearts, wedding rings, swans, and arched compositions are constructed. It is worth thinking about combining balloons with fabric, ribbons, and flowers.

Guest area and dance floor. There are many solutions for decorating this area. The most common is the placement of so-called fountains or fireworks on guests’ tables. Consider the length of the thread; the balls should not block the visibility of guests.
Attach aerial garlands above the ceiling. Place one or more surprise confetti balloons on the dance floor. Pop one during the first dance of the newlyweds, the rest are for guests. Having helium balloons floating freely on the ceiling is definitely an interesting solution! Add LED elements there and get an incredible effect. And the composition “bride and groom made of balloons” will swing funny under the influence of air, creating the illusion of a dancing couple.

Master class on how to make a heart out of balloons for a wedding with your own hands
The process of creating a wedding heart from balloons on your own will give you a lot of pleasure. And creative work will further unite the newlyweds as a future family.
Before you start work, think through the details. How and where will the structure be located? What color, what size? Will it be one or two hearts? Place it schematically on a sheet of paper. As an example, place one large heart behind the young ones, and place bouquets of helium balloons with hearts on the sides. Select mounting option. If it is without a frame, then you need to very painstakingly set the heart shape so that everything looks symmetrical. For a structure with a frame, it is enough to tie the balls with strong threads. To make it you need:
- balls (the number depends on the size of the frame);
- wire (no more than 3 mm);
- scotch;
- threads
Manufacturing process:
Use wire to create a heart shape. Bring the edges together and secure well with tape. Do not skimp on the number of skeins to avoid the collapse of the entire structure at the most inopportune moment. Start making ball joints. They are called “fours”: inflate two balloons, fasten them with a rope, then attach another pair. It is most convenient to connect when inflating, tying them together without thread. Inflate in such a way that they do not push each other out, but also tightly touch the edges. Prepare about forty of these parts. Sometimes it turns out even more. After making the connections, proceed to attach them. Take the first pair of fours and place them on the base so that the wire runs through the middle of the ball joint. Scroll a couple of times to secure. Repeat the action. And in this way place all the parts of the connections
Pay attention to symmetry. Straighten the balls in the desired direction.

Where and when are they used?
When describing a photo zone made from balloons, one cannot miss the scope of its application. Of course, it is very important to understand in what cases it will be appropriate and in what form to use it. In most cases, photo zones are used for birthdays, and to decorate the holiday for people of all ages.
As a rule, in such places there are necessarily three-dimensional numbers indicating the age of the birthday person.
Sometimes you can decorate this photo zone with words of congratulations. This can be done using colored paper, fabric or cardboard.
A photo zone for birthdays is a very popular option not only for big holidays, but also for celebrating at home. Using blue, white, green and purple colors, you can create a photo zone for boys, and red and pink shades for girls. The place for a photo shoot can also be decorated for various children's parties. For example, these could be matinees or other similar events at which taking a photo as a keepsake is a never-ending tradition.
A wedding is also an event where a balloon photo zone is often used. As a rule, such places always stand out from the rest with their brightness and interesting design style. And this is not surprising - many people want to take beautiful and memorable photographs for their wedding.
Photo zones are also made for other events, for example, for friendly parties, for alumni reunions and much more.
Budget wedding hall decoration: ideas, photos
If you are interested in decorating your room on a budget, but at the same time doing it tastefully, there are several options:
- Decorate the room with paper pompoms. Paper pompoms are suitable for decorating the newlyweds' table, photo zone, tables for guests, and they can also be attached to the ceiling. The colors of the pompoms will play an important role in the decoration: bright ones will make the wedding rich, warm and delicate shades will emphasize tenderness and romance. A huge advantage of decorating a room with paper pompoms is the ease and convenience of such decoration.
- Candles will help to evoke a magical atmosphere. The more candles, the better. To keep candles from going out, you can place them in vases or glasses.

Hallway
A chandelier in the hallway interior emphasizes the coziness of the home and, with the right choice of light intensity, draws attention to the decoration and also expands the space. It should be small and ceiling-mounted, repeat the geometry of the room and be made of simple transparent materials. If the ceilings are high, then you can choose a classic-style pendant lamp with several lamps.
If the corridor has stone or plaster wall decoration, then you can choose a lamp in the form of a lantern; if the corridor has wooden panels, then the option with wooden decor from the same type of wood is perfect.
In the photo, white walls, glass panels and a small light shade fill the hallway with light and make it visually larger.
Choice of colors
The bright multi-colored balloons that we are used to seeing at children's parties are not suitable for a wedding hall. Wedding decorations should look elegant and harmonious. To achieve this, choose the right color scheme according to the wedding concept. Two or three colors are enough, for example, pink and white, lemon or light green. If the accent color predominates in the decoration of the entire room, use it for the balloons.
Decoration with ordinary balls
Regular balloons are made using latex material - they are the cheapest and usually have an oval shape. It's best to fill them with helium so they float above the ground. Tie the balls together in a few pieces or let them hang towards the ceiling - this decor for the hall will look amazing.
Foil balloons with helium
This type of balloons is stronger than latex ones, so they will not spoil the celebration with an unpleasant bursting sound. They are made in the shape of a variety of shapes - hearts, flowers, letters, numbers and even people. Thanks to special materials, these balls look beautiful and original.
Illuminated balls
A creative idea for decorating a wedding hall is illuminated balloons. This unusual type of decor is just coming into fashion. The glow effect is created by built-in LEDs and batteries.
Using balls for modeling
The decorator will help you make unusual decorations for the design of the room using modeling balls. They are long, oblong “sticks”, by tying them in a special way, the master can create different figures, for example, bouquets of flowers or an arch, as in the photo.
Panoramic balls
One side of this option is transparent, and an image is applied to the other from the inside. You need to hang them so that the picture is visible to guests.
Balloons
Self-blowing balloons will surprise everyone present. Their mechanism consists of a special device with pumps to which balls are attached. At the right moment, for example, when a couple sits down, someone presses the start button - all elements are filled with air on their own.
Balloon figures and inscriptions
Classically decorating a hall with balloons means creating a variety of shapes and inscriptions. It all depends on the imagination of the newlyweds and their preferences - the decor can be two rings, huge swans, a crown over the heads of the bride and groom, or any other elements symbolizing the love of the couple. The inscriptions can be original or classic - with wishes of happiness to young people.
Chains
Balloons made in the form of a chain look elegant: they will add solemnity to both a wedding in an inexpensive restaurant and a chic banquet hall.
Fairy lights
A large garland behind the newlyweds or balloons collected in it and stretched across the hall will become a stylish decoration for a banquet.
Arches
Balloons arranged like an arch are a wonderful decoration for a wedding venue. This element can be placed at the entrance so that everyone from the threshold feels the beauty and solemnity of the event. Also, large numbers of arches can be located throughout the hall on the way to the main table of the bride and groom.
Surprise Ball
This decoration element is suitable for various wedding competitions: arrange balloons with notes and gifts inside in the form of a panel. The winner of the next drawing must burst it and get his prize.
Wedding floristry: traditions and modernity
Since ancient times, marriage ceremonies have been decorated with flowers, emphasizing the solemnity of the moment. In Ancient Greece, the bride and groom were showered with scarlet rose petals to enlist the protection of the goddess of love Aphrodite, and wreaths of fragrant myrtle and laurel were placed on the heads of the newlyweds, with oak and olive branches woven into them, symbolizing prosperity and well-being.
In the era of the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance, weddings of the nobility were celebrated on a grand scale, stocking up on flowers in advance. There was often a shortage of material, and along with living plants, dried and artificial flowers were widely used. Some techniques of florists who decorated noble weddings are still relevant today.
- Classic European seating involves installing one volumetric composition in a tall vase or on a stand in the center of each table.
- The most massive composition is placed on the podium, which will serve as a center of attraction. Most often, rectangular, asymmetrical or flowing patterns are found, less often - interesting variants of rounded shapes.
- If guests are seated at one long table, several miniature bouquets are placed along the center line of the tabletop.
In the East, other traditions of decorating wedding halls have developed. In China and Japan, they preferred asymmetrical compositions with tree-like and potted flowers, and in India, walls and ceilings were decorated with luxurious extended garlands, which were assembled by hand from flower heads and branches.
Traditional wedding decorations in Latin America are rich in color and bold color combinations. Against the backdrop of a riot of tropical colors, combinations of blue and crimson or bright yellow and light green look surprisingly organic.
One of the main decorations of the Mexican marriage ceremony is a finely woven flower garland in the shape of a lasso, which the newlyweds throw over each other as a sign of the indissolubility of the marriage bond. The bride throws the lasso first, then the groom.
Note that in practice, preparing a wedding hall has long been no longer limited to observing traditions. Thematic decoration, focused on the interests and tastes of the newlyweds, is in trend. Expressing the individual style of a couple in the design of a room and telling a love story in the language of flowers is an incredibly ambitious task worthy of a true master!
Launching wedding balloons into the sky is a significant and beautiful ritual
The newlyweds of the world know a huge number of ways to launch “bright spots” into the air. Come up with your own. Figure out when the right moment will happen. Will this happen in bright daylight? Or in the evening, when sky lanterns bring more emotions?
The most spectacular thing will be the launch of luminous balls in the dark. An unforgettable sight will open: a bright flying cloud cutting through the night sky. And under the ceiling of the banquet hall they also look romantic and beautiful.

Of course, it's worth thinking about quantity. And who will release the balloons: young people, each guest, or will it be the launch of balloons from the net.
What do newlyweds say when they release balloons into the sky? Most likely, vows of love and fidelity
It is important that the words spoken come from the heart and are sincere
Old-fashioned rituals have been replaced by another new-fangled trend - launching the bride’s surname into the sky on balloons launched with one’s own hands, as one of the symbols of parting with girlhood and entering into family life. What could be more exciting if the bride takes her husband's last name? Attach a sign with the bride's name to the balloons or order a stamp on one large balloon. Launch this symbol with your bridesmaids.
Goodbye girlhood. And balls
Balloons are perhaps a relatively inexpensive and traditional way for the bride and groom to decorate their wedding celebration. The event will create the illusion of airiness, and a variety of compositions will place those present in a soaring atmosphere.
Preparing for work
A spider web ball is a budget decor made from colored threads with your own hands. There is nothing complicated here - even a baby can do it, with just a little help from his parents. With the help of ropes, laces, threads, and other improvised means, real masterpieces are made in literally ten minutes. The finished “webs” are decorated with smaller balls, paper flowers, ribbons, and various figures. When there are a lot of them, whole garlands and plot compositions are created.
Necessary materials, tools
Tools and materials you will need:
- threads – knitting or sewing;
- balloons must be round;
- wallpaper glue or PVA;
- cup or container for glue;
- some water;
- scissors;
- needle;
- tweezers.
Threads can be taken in any color or white - the finished ball is then spray-painted. Floss, wool or regular sewing threads are suitable. It is better not to use office glue - it does not “hold” the threads well.
The better the thread fibers are twisted, the stronger the structure will be. Sugar syrup is also added to the glue for greater strength.
Basic technique
Step-by-step description of making a thread ball:
- inflate the balloon, but only enough so that it becomes round;
- glue is mixed with water to obtain a homogeneous consistency;
- the threads are dipped in glue, but not all at once;
- as an option - the thread is threaded into a needle, the bottle of glue is pierced, the thread is pulled through it, saturated with glue;
- then the thread is wound randomly around the ball;
- when enough has been wound, the thread is cut, the tip is tightly secured with glue;
- the ball is hung or placed on a tray - after 10-20 hours, depending on the thickness of the threads, it will dry completely;
- to speed up the process, you can dry the structure using a hairdryer - this will take no more than an hour;
- when the ball has already dried and hardened, it is peeled off from the frame with your hands, pierced with a needle, but if it has dried too much to the threads, it is separated with tweezers.
When you plan to make a lot of thread balls, you don’t have to pierce the air balloon - you can just let the air out of it and carefully remove it without damaging it.
If the inflated ball is pre-smeared with any rich cream, the threads will lag well behind the base and you won’t have to tear it off with your hands.
Decoration, painting of balloons
How to decorate a ball-web as usual:
- painted from a can or by hand;
- pasted over with rhinestones and sparkles;
- embroidered with beads, bugles, sequins;
- decorated with pompons, tassels;
- decorated with knitted elements.
For uniform coloring, acrylic from a spray can is suitable - you can use several colors at the same time. They also paint by hand with acrylic paint and brushes - this is a little more complicated, but you can depict stripes and multi-colored tints. Shiny elements, beautiful plant seeds (beans, lupine), paper butterflies, dried flowers, twigs are glued to the surface using PVA glue. Beads, beads, beautiful buttons, textile ribbons are sewn on with thin threads.
Dessert balloons for the belly celebration!
If you are planning a large feast, a birthday, or a children's party, dessert balloons will definitely lift everyone's mood and appetite!
This option for decorating a room with balloons, with some modifications and modifications, can be used, for example, on Easter, New Year, March 8th.
How to prepare our “desserts”?
- We inflate large white balloons with helium.
- We print sheets with a “waffle” background, roll them into cones and secure them at the bottom of the balls with double-sided tape. Naturally, it is better to glue the tape from the inside, so as not to spoil the overall appearance of the “ice cream”.
- We pass the ribbon down directly through the hole in the cone (don't forget to leave this useful hole).
- Next, the “ice cream” can be released to the ceiling or tied with ribbons to the cutlery - let the dessert hang above the table.
Whatever your heart desires
I’m not suggesting dressing the bride in a dress made of balloons, I just want to show that the possibilities of modern aero designers are endless. By the way, you can not only decorate the room, but also weave a whole airy panel that will replace the walls in the open gazebo.
Bathroom
Lighting in the bathroom interior has a practical and decorative function. With it you can create a stylish and original bathroom decor.
In the photo, the author's model of the chandelier allows you to add a special personality to the bathroom interior.
Volumetric structures made of balls
Original three-dimensional figures made from balls are a trend that once became fashionable and has not lost its relevance to this day.
Some people call specialists to create these decorations, others sculpt aerial sculptures on their own.
They are relevant for any event. You can create a garden of flowers for a children’s party, a forest of aerial Christmas trees for the New Year’s holiday, children’s favorite cartoon characters, etc.
We bring to your attention the simplest version of a three-dimensional figure - flowers:
- We will need: latex balloons (green, yellow, white), threads, ribbons and wire, a hand pump and, of course, a good mood.
- Inflate 5 white balloons, which will be flower petals.
- We tie them together, fastening them with threads or wire, so that the petals look in different directions.
- Now we inflate 5 yellow balloons 2 times smaller in size (or simply inflate them not completely). We also connect them and create the core of the flower.
- We connect the petals (bottom) with the core (top).
- Inflate the red balloon and secure it in the center at the top (this will be the “pestle”).
- We create the stem from elongated green balls. We put on several long “sausages”, weave them like a rope and attach them to the base of the petals.
- At the base we place 4 large green balls connected to each other (for stability), and on top of them – 4 small green balls. This will be a “flowerbed”.
- Now we connect the stem to the “flowerbed” - our flower is ready.
- You can decorate it with serpentine, sparkles, etc.

Children's
A chandelier in a nursery can be made in the most unusual form, but you should definitely pay attention to the environmental friendliness of the materials; they must be non-toxic and not emit a smell when heated. If the interior design is made in neutral colors, then the lamp can be of the brightest color. It can also support sea, pirate, space and other themes.
The photo shows a classic chandelier. A children's themed room in a classic style creates comfort for a little princess.
Decorating the hall with balloons
The most economical in terms of money and time, but a very fun and bright option, would be to decorate the wedding hall with your own hands with balloons. Balloons can be chosen in any color; they can easily be used to make unusual bouquets and garlands that can transform any room beyond recognition.
Air balloons
Both adults and children love balloons. They are perfect for creating a light, romantic decoration for a wedding banquet hall.
You should decide on the color scheme in advance; it is best if these are two primary colors. Balls can be of the most varied shapes - hearts, stars, flowers, doves. If played correctly, they will help create an original festive interior. The main thing is to buy high-quality balloons that will not burst before the celebration begins. Make sure that the balls are the same size and ensure they are securely fastened.
Balloons inflated with helium look wonderful, floating under the ceiling in the form of interesting compositions or figures. It is better to tie them not with threads, but with mother-of-pearl serpentine or silk ribbons, which will hang with beautiful airy springs.
It would be nice to decorate the dancing area with a large ring of balloons. And the French arch, a symbol of eternal love, can be installed above the bench for the newlyweds. The French have a sign: if the newlyweds pass under such an arch, their marriage will definitely be happy and full of love.
Volumetric balls made of threads
Volumetric balls made of threads look very sophisticated at a wedding party. They can be used in closed banquet halls and at outdoor ceremonies, and they are made very quickly and simply:
- Inflate the balloons to the required size.
- Prepare a sticky mixture of 1.5 cups of glue, half a cup of starch and a quarter cup of water.
- Take the threads and, dipping them into the adhesive mixture, tightly wrap the ball over the entire surface.
- Let the product dry for 24 hours, and then pierce and remove the ball.
You can hang these balls from the ceiling or make interesting compositions for tables, complementing them with flowers and candles. And if you hang voluminous balls on a garland of bright (not heated) light bulbs or simply on chandeliers and under the ceiling, you will get an incredibly romantic and warm atmosphere.
Kitchen
Chandeliers in the kitchen interior add coziness and create a family atmosphere. It is best to choose small lamps mounted near the ceiling with a simple design, this will facilitate maintenance and emphasize its practicality.
In the photo, a crystal chandelier and a glass table create a single dining area. The unusual placement of the lamp attracts attention and makes the kitchen original.
The lamp can complement the interior or stand out with an unusual design. It can be placed in the center, or above the dining table. Don’t forget about additional lighting above the work surface; additional lamps should not conflict with the chandelier.
In the photo, a simple hanging lamp looks simple and functional. It is easy to care for and keep in order. It is more of a decoration, since the lighting function is performed by spotlights and lighting above the work surface.
More, more balls!
An option that will delight both kids, romantic girls, and, probably, even many young mothers.
You can use it for a Jubilee, a wedding and a wedding anniversary, a children's party, Retirement Day, any significant date - for example, a celebration of receiving a diploma or being awarded a Badge of Distinction.
- We inflate the balloons (you can use regular air) in huge quantities. Immediately stock up on a pump - you simply don’t have enough strength to inflate so many balloons.
- There should be so many balls that they fall on the person who opens the door to the room - that is, from floor to ceiling. The surprise is, of course, labor-intensive, but effective!
- Well, the second option: an avalanche. It is suitable for rooms with high ceilings. We fix a wide net under the ceiling and fill this “hammock” with inflated (air!) balloons. At the right moment, one of the guests tears off the net, and the balls fall on the guests like an avalanche.

Decorations on the ceiling
Most often, they simply release a couple of hundred helium balloons with beautiful ribbons to the ceiling. In the photographs I have selected original solutions for decorating the ceiling in the wedding hall. You can make a circular chain of lincolun with helium, and place balls with paper hearts on ribbons in the center of the circle. A very bright decoration, you must agree! On the right is a circular two-color garland.
Here's another great idea for a series of wedding photos “in the clouds.” Pink and white balls cover the entire ceiling and floor... Incomparable!
How to decorate a hall with balloons for a wedding: decor options
Balloons are a traditional wedding attribute. Nowadays you can find many varieties of balloons of all colors and shapes. There is no clear answer to the question of how much it costs to decorate a wedding hall with balloons. It all depends on the number of balls, the complexity of the composition and, of course, the cost of the balls themselves. You can decorate chairs and tables with balls, make a heart-shaped composition out of them and attach them to the wall, and you can even make “ball rain” by hanging small silver balls from the ceiling on threads of different lengths. In general, do whatever your imagination tells you.
Regular latex balloons filled with helium are a classic option. Helium easily lifts them to the ceiling, so you can simply attach the end of the ribbon to a chair or table, and your floating decoration is ready. You can make compositions and figures from small balls. This is the most economical option that will never go out of style.
- Foil balls are more expensive, but they are much stronger, brighter and have more variations. You can order balloons with names, words, images and even photographs of the newlyweds.
- Large volumetric figures made from balls are quite popular now. A figure is created from many helium balloons, at the base of which a weight is attached. If the wedding takes place outdoors, then when the wind blows, the figure begins to “walk.”
- Glowing balloons are another original novelty. Such balls will not only decorate the room and surprise guests, but will also help create the necessary lighting.
When decorating the hall, remember that the balloons should not interfere with guests dancing or eating. The abundance of balls on the tables can create discomfort. Therefore, it is better to focus on decorating the ceiling, walls and chairs. Covering the floor with balls is dangerous, and the table is neither practical nor hygienic.
Simple garlands of balloons will help you decorate your wedding hall inexpensively. If you want to prepare a surprise for guests or newlyweds, write wishes, poems and other pleasant words on pieces of paper and put them in a balloon before inflating. At the end of the celebration, everyone will be able to take home a nice gift.
Chandelier to match the interior style
Classic
Options in the classics are most represented on the lighting market and have many decor options. Classics are characterized by smooth lines, versatility, glass and crystal, often imitating candelabra and candle holders in their forms, recalling their origins. They are appropriate in any style and do not go out of fashion, so they are a win-win choice and a good investment.
In the photo, a pendant chandelier and sconces in a classic style form a single composition in a luxurious beige living room. Gold color, glass, corduroy, stucco and gloss are appropriate only in spacious rooms.
Modern style
Chandeliers in modern interiors tend towards minimalism and practicality. A simple ornament or geometry, without suspension, in neutral colors creates a laconic image of the room.
High tech
High-tech interiors are characterized by chrome surfaces, simple geometry and minimalism. Shiny surfaces of steel, nickel, cubism and clarity are suitable for lighting in the kitchen and hallway.
Modern
Modern lamps in the interior are made of different materials and their weaves. This could be a traditional classic chandelier placed in a cube made of wire, or an ordinary lamp in a ball made of threads or wicker.
In the photo, the chandelier with white shades is a classic choice, goes with all shades and will suit any interior.
Loft
Loft chandeliers in the interior can look very diverse, because this is a style free to express imagination. Most often this is a geometric design with lamps inside, ordinary rectangular shades, simple lamps on wires.
Provence
A Provence chandelier in the interior can combine the base of a classic lamp with a frame without lush decor and glass accessories. Wooden and metal elements and a worn effect will bring the interior closer to the desired style solution.
