Balloon Arch Ideas: 7 Styles For Your Party
What Is A Balloon Arch?
A balloon arch is a structure built out of balloons which is used to welcome guests to an event, spotlight a doorway or add some style to an occasion. Like a classic arch, the balloons tend to be in a curved structure, going from the floor up to the ceiling and back down to the floor.
Types Of Balloon Arch
There are a few different types of balloon arch that you can expect to see.
Single Arch
These arches are made up of a line of single balloons and are often referred to as a “String of Pearls”. The cheapest of the styles as it uses the least amount of balloons, the single arch design is mainly used for indoor events.
Double Arch
The double arch is as it says, it’s a balloon arch which has two adjoining lines of balloons to create the structure. A simplistic style, but one that works well as an entrance arch for a room.
Packed Arch
A classic design which features packed balloons in a spiral, block, random, zig-zag or many other styles.
Organic Arch
Very popular these days, the organic arch style will make up the majority of our list. A mix of multiple balloon sizes and colours, plus it can be packed full with other accessories such as plants or flowers. Not always in the classic shape, this style can actually be more of a balloon structure rather than arch. It’s great for all events and can be used as entrance pieces or just as a feature arch for a display or bar.

Create a truly unforgettable party piece with this giant blush balloon structure. I love the variety of sizes on show here with the wonderful hit of sage green and the more subtle grey and nude shades.
The golden leaves added created a stunning effect and the shape of the balloons is very unique compared to other arches.
Nude Apricot With Dried Flower Garland

Plenty of balloon garlands make up this design, with a range of small to large sizes and the beautiful Apricot colour throughout.
A real statement party wall piece, it climbs high and turns the side of your room or garden into quite the feature!
The dried flowers and grass bring it back to nature a little and also sync in perfectly with the gorgeous colour scheme.
Butterfly Pink And Purple Archway

Hot and vibrant is the name of this balloon arch. It’s got all the colour I love to see and the little butterflies are incredibly cute.
A perfect mix of sizes, I also love the transition from purple to pink to white meeting at the top of the archway.
This works amazingly as an entrance for your garden party or perhaps on your front door.
Blue And Yellow Entrance Pillar Wrap-Around

For the grander of venue entrances, this style is a great way to show off your front porch.
Wrapping the pillars with an array of wonderful colours will light up your party for your guests and make them jump out. The wrap-around design is fun and adds a unique look to the rather simplistic beige pillars.
Pink Flowers Inverted L Shape

I absolutely adore this balloon arch idea for multiple reasons. First up, the colour scheme is amazing with the wonderful faux roses and peonies incorporated into the balloons.
Next is the shape. The inverted L shape completely transforms what would normally be a plain entrance into a garden. As you walk through it, it’s like the ceiling above the doorway doesn’t exist. No plain white ceiling, just a sea of mesmerising pinks, stepping into a wonderland.
Pink And Sage Organic Garland Arch

This organic arch has all you need for a perfect display piece. It’s got a great mix of colours, from your soft pinks to your natural greens to your warming yellows.
The variation of sizes adds amazing texture to the look and helps encapsulate the party wall just right.
Whether it’s showing off a new baby or celebrating a big birthday, this style is a must have idea.
Pink Flower Circle Arch

Unlike other balloon arches, the circle approach really helps to draw eyes to the focal point of the display.
This example shows off the birthday message, but you can have whatever it is you’re celebrating. With the balloon structure this way, it helps draw attention to the meaning of the party and will look incredible in photos.
The pinks are stunning and the flowers with natural grass keeps it close to nature but still playful.
