Wedding Wednesday :: Classy Balloons


While Well Registered focuses on wedding registries, each week we feature some of our favorite wedding day inspirations and tutorials. This week we're inspired by balloons.  Balloons as wedding decor can be a bit scary - in our opinion they can get tacky quickly.  But if done right, balloons can provide great visual interest by adding some height to your wedding decor.  Like paper, streamers, and yarn, we like balloons because you can buy them in a wide variety of colors to suit your wedding day palette. 




We love these oversized white balloons.  If you're timid about using balloons in your wedding decor, we suggest to stick with white, round balloons as pictured in this photo by Glamour.  





You could also add pops of color with balloons as seen in this photo by Martha Stewart Weddings.  To get balloons to hang correctly, simply place a marble or small weight in the balloon before filling with air.





This is another example of how to add height to your wedding decor by hanging balloons from the ceiling (or tent).  You could add vines among the balloons to add more interest.




White balloons are very versatile, but we especially love them in this gorgeous outdoor wedding.  See, balloons aren't always cheesy decor! 


Would you use balloons in your wedding decor?

My sister used balloons for her wedding reception, and I think the thing that looked the classiest with those was the ribbons hanging from the ceiling.
