Balloon Decor 101

Know Your Balloon Decor

Not sure what you need? Here's a quick visual guide to the four pieces we install most often.

Bouquet

A hand-tied cluster of helium balloons on a weight — perfect on the floor or table. Comes in a range of sizes.

Column

A vertical tower of balloons on a frame that flanks entryways or frames a step-and-repeat backdrop.

Arch

Most frequently an upside down U or upside down L shaped frame covered in balloons —typically the backdrop for photos or a doorway frame

Garland

A flowing, scarf of balloons in mixed sizes — to frame backdrops, hang on walls or fireplaces.

The balloon arch they created for our daughter's bat mitzvah was absolutely breathtaking. Every guest asked who did the décor.

Rachel K., Highland Park

Used them for our company's annual gala at the Marriott. The installation team was professional, on time, and the results were spectacular.

James T., Director of Events, Medline Industries

We've ordered balloon bouquets from North Shore for three birthdays now. Same-day delivery, always fresh, always perfect.

Amanda L., Winnetka

They matched our exact brand colors without even being asked. The attention to detail sets them apart from every other balloon company we've tried.

Michael D., Marketing Manager, Amazon Chicago

The organic balloon wall for our baby shower was beyond what I imagined. So many compliments. Worth every penny.

Christine P., Lake Forest

We booked them for our grand opening event in downtown Chicago. They handled everything — setup, teardown, and even stayed late. Incredible team.

Tom R., Owner, North Shore Fitness

Our wedding entrance balloon arch was the most photographed moment of the entire night. I'm still getting messages from guests about it.

Jessica & Mike W., Glencoe

Fast, reliable, and creative. We use them for all our client appreciation events. The team is always responsive and delivers on their promises.

Sarah G., Executive Assistant, Ulta Beauty

Ordered a custom balloon bouquet for my mom's 70th birthday. It arrived early, looked gorgeous, and made her cry happy tears. 10 out of 10.

Brian N., Evanston
