Don’t be afraid to ask multiple people for quotes and information about your vision. Finding someone who communicates on a level you connect with will enhance your experience and get more clarity between you and your vendor.

Be open minded with your budget
One tip would be to be open minded with your budget when it comes to balloon decor. Understanding that it’s so much more to this job than just blowing up balloons. As a balloon stylist our clients are expecting quality work from us which means that we have to provide quality materials which are pretty pricey. It’s our time, labor and our creativity to provide a quality installation to make each event magical.

Do you want your balloons delivered?
Clients have the option of either getting an arrangement delivered and installed or the option of a ‘Grab & Go,’ which means the arrangement is prepared and ‘ready to hang’ but the client picks it up and installs on their own with the help of instructions to-go.

Do your research
When seeking balloon decor for an upcoming event, if you know where you would like the balloons to be installed, having measurements, photos, and/or video is helpful to move the process along efficiently so a quote can be provided.

Because garlands are not measured by linear foot, you may order a 20ft garland but that doesn’t mean it will be 20ft long. It means there will be 20ft worth of garland to account for length and body/thickness. If the garland was 20ft long, it would essentially be thin with no shape or thickness. For example, if you order a 20ft garland, it may actually be 16ft long with other 4ft being distributed throughout the garland to create thickness and the organic look.
