One Custom Kit | 2 Ways to Make It
Classic garland
Use the included garland strip for a more even, polished shape. A good fit behind a cake table, over a gift table, or across the kitchen island.
Fuller organic look
Use the cluster method for a more layered balloon moment. This is the one I’d use when the backdrop is doing most of the decorating.

FAQ's
Can I assemble the garland days before the event?
Can I assemble the garland days before the event?
Absolutely - in fact, we recommend you do!
Since balloons for your balloon garland will be air-filled, they can actually last 5-7 days (out of direct sun and heat). We usually recommend setting up the garland 1-2 days before the event.
How long does it take to assemble?
How long does it take to assemble?
Good news: assembly is fun, and customers tell us daily that it's a lot easier than they expected!
Assembly may take 45-120 minutes depending on the size garland you order. We HIGHLY recommend using an air pump to speed up the process.

How do I hang my balloon arch?
How do I hang my balloon arch?
Command hooks are included with every garland kit. Stick the hooks to your wall following the directions on the Command package, then hang your garland from them.
Command products don't work on every surface, so check the package for which walls and surfaces they're made for before you hang.
If you'd like the garland to be free-standing, you'll need a backdrop stand or balloon arch frame, which is sold separately.
Are the balloons matte?
Are the balloons matte?
Most balloons naturally have some amount of shine to them. If you want your balloons to look extra matte, they will need to oxidize.
Oxidization occurs when the balloons come in contact with oxygen and sunlight.
We don't recommend leaving the balloons out in the sun (sunlight and heat can cause popping), but one easy technique is to blow them up early 2-3 days early. The longer balloons are blown up, the more matte they will become.
What are the balloons made of?
What are the balloons made of?
Our latex balloons are made from natural rubber latex.
Balloon safety: children under 8 can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. Adult supervision required. Keep uninflated balloons away from children and throw away broken balloons right away. Not for anyone with a latex allergy.
