How much does a balloon arch or garland cost?

Balloon arches and garlands are everywhere at parties right now, and one of the first things people want to know is what they cost. There is no single price, because every design is different. Here is how the pricing works and what shapes the number.

How balloon decor is actually priced

Most balloon work is not priced as a flat fee. It is priced by size, and the two most common ways you will see it quoted are by the foot for a garland, or as a package for a full arch or backdrop.

That is why nobody can give you a number over the phone without a couple of details. A garland running eight feet along a dessert table and a garland climbing a twelve-foot backdrop are the same product and very different jobs.

Here is what you can figure out before you ever ask for a quote:

• Measure the space you want covered, in feet.
• Decide whether you want it framing something, like a doorway or a photo area, or flowing along a surface.
• Pick your colors.
• Know whether you need it delivered and installed, or you are picking it up.

Those four answers are enough for us to give you an exact price the same day you ask. And if you have a number in mind, say it up front. We would rather design something beautiful that fits your budget than send you a quote that does not work for you.

The main things that affect price

Two balloon setups can look very different and cost very different amounts. These are the biggest factors:

• Size. A small garland for a dessert table uses far fewer balloons than a large arch that frames a doorway or backdrop.
• Design style. A full, organic look with mixed sizes and layered colors takes more balloons and more time than a simple, classic line.
• Colors and finishes. Specialty colors, metallics, and accents like greenery or florals add to the look and the cost.
• Delivery and setup. Having your decor delivered and installed on site is a convenience that adds to the total, and it makes a real difference in how polished everything looks.
• Location and timing. Travel within the Denver and Aurora area and your event date can play a role too.

Garland or arch, which do you need?

A balloon garland is a flowing cluster of balloons that can drape across a backdrop, run along a table, or climb a wall. An arch usually frames a space, like an entrance, a stage, or a photo area. Many celebrations use a mix, with a garland behind the cake table and a larger arch as the main focal point.

How to get the most for your budget

You do not need to fill an entire room with balloons to make a big impression. A little planning goes a long way:

• Pick one focal point, like a cake table or photo area, and make it beautiful.
• Share your budget up front so the design is built to fit it.
• Coordinate your balloon colors with your cake and theme for a put together look.
• Let us handle delivery and setup so everything is ready and stress free.

When you tell us your vision and your budget, we design something that looks full and put together, not skimpy.
