"What's It Called When All the Balloons Are Different Sizes???"
If you've started planning a birthday party, baby shower, wedding, corporate event, or any celebration in Pittsburgh, you've probably come across two very different balloon decor styles: classic and organic.
While organic decor has definitely become the more popular and trendy option - especially for private events - classic decor is still a staple in corporate and school events and is here to stay. That's why The Cheerful Balloon specializes in both styles.
So what’s the difference—and which one is right for your next event?
Let’s break it down.
What Is Organic Balloon Decor?
Organic balloon décor is the modern style you see everywhere right now on Pinterest, Instagram, weddings, baby showers, and luxury events.
Not only does this style use balloons of different sizes to create a more dynamic shape, the flow of the structure itself tends to be more natural as well, creating depth and texture to a space.
What Is a Classic Balloon Decor?
Classic balloon decor features uniform balloon sizes arranged in precise patterns. This style was the start of balloon decor and therefore tends to evoke a more "old-school" vibe.
Classic balloon decor is all about that clean, structured look. Think precise arches, columns, and shapes that are perfectly put together. It's polished, precise, and professional.
Organic or Classic - Which One Is Right for Your Event?
If you...
- are looking for modern, trendy décor with upscale vibes
- want décor that works with and enhances the architecture of the space
- dream of a BIG "WOW" moment for your guests
- have a more robust budget*
You’re probably looking for organic-style balloons.
If you..
- prefer clean, crisp lines and uniformed structure
- require freestanding decor (cannot be attached to walls, etc.)
- are working with a limited amount of space for your event
- need to spread out your budget*
You’re probably looking for classic-style balloons.
A Note About Budget...
Traditionally, classic decor is going to be a more cost-effective choice - especially if you need to spread out a budget across multiple areas.
Why? Because Organic Balloon Decor require almost 3x the materials and labor to achieve the look.
