Balloon Décor Planned Around Your Venue

Begin with the area you want to decorate: the couple’s seats, a welcome sign or the table where the guest of honor will open gifts. Knowing where the balloons will go helps us shape the display around that part of your celebration. The balloons need room around that activity, including the furniture and people who will share the space.

Wedding Celebrations

At a reception, a balloon garland can follow one side of the sweetheart table or frame a welcome display. A curved arrangement around the cake area brings the colors into that part of the room. Share a photo of the setting with its furniture in place, or send the table and chair dimensions. For a display behind the couple, the seated view matters as much as the view of the empty room.

Bridal & Baby Showers

Decide whether the display will sit behind the guest of honor or around the refreshments. A seated backdrop needs space for the chair and anyone joining the photographs. A dessert-table arrangement needs to leave the serving area within reach. Bring your invitation, theme or chosen colors into the conversation. Those references help us discuss a balloon design that belongs with the other decorations you have already selected.

Photo Backdrops

Tell us whether photographs will feature a couple, a seated guest or a larger family group. The space left between the balloons needs to suit those pictures. A balloon arch can frame a standing group, while a garland along one side leaves more of the background open. If the backdrop includes a name or date, show us where it will sit. The lettering should remain visible once people step into the frame.

Why Couples and Shower Hosts Choose Wilhelmina

The finished display needs to work while guests are seated, moving through the room and taking photographs. We consider those uses alongside the style you want.

Colors connected to your plans
Share references from your invitations, linens or flowers. We use your palette to discuss balloon shades and combinations for the display.
A layout suited to the setting
We plan the arrangement around the area it will occupy. Let us know about venue restrictions on attaching décor to walls or fixtures.
Room for the people in the picture
Tell us who will use the backdrop and whether they will be seated or standing, so the design can leave space around them.
Setup timed to the celebration
We coordinate delivery and installation with your schedule. Share the venue’s access window and the earliest time the display is needed for photos or guests.

Send us your date, venue and the spot you would like to decorate. Include a room photo, your color references and any table or chair that belongs within the display. Let us know when the venue opens for setup and when photography begins.
With those details, we can discuss the arrangement and prepare an estimate for your celebration.

Wedding & Shower Balloon Décor FAQs

Which celebrations can you design for?

We create displays for weddings, bridal showers and baby showers. For birthdays, graduations and other family occasions, explore our private event balloon installations.

Yes. Send a palette, invitation image or fabric reference so we can discuss suitable balloon colors. A visual reference is more helpful than a description such as “dusty pink,” which can mean different shades. We’ll help you compare the shades and choose a combination that suits your celebration.

Our recommended booking lead time is 30 days or longer. If your celebration is closer, send the date and venue details so we can check whether the schedule allows a shorter-notice installation.

Heat, sunlight, sharp edges and handling can affect their condition. Protected indoor balloons may last as long as a month, although their appearance can change during that time.

For helium-filled balloons, typical float times are 24–48 hours for standard 11-inch sizes and 48–72 hours for jumbo sizes. Tell us if the display needs to remain after the celebration; we cannot guarantee its lifespan following delivery.

Our delivery area includes Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Sheboygan and Washington counties. If your venue is farther away, send the address so we can discuss travel. Delivery fees begin at $20 and vary with the installation.

Send your date, venue address, display ideas and any useful photos through the estimate form. We respond within 24–48 hours to check availability and discuss the details. A formal estimate follows once the requirements are clear. Accepting the estimate and booking terms allows us to issue your invoice.

You receive the invoice by email and can pay using a major credit or debit card. Full payment reserves your event unless we agree to a deposit arrangement for an advance booking. An agreed reservation deposit is non-refundable and is deducted from the event’s final balance.

Color Guide

Please be aware that photos from inspiration sites such as Pinterest and Etsy can have heavily edited photos and or custom made colors. If you are looking for an exact color shade, we would be happy to help with a custom color blend.
