What Is an Organic Balloon Garland?

An organic balloon garland is a free-flowing arrangement of balloons in different sizes, shapes and sometimes finishes. Unlike traditional balloon arches (which tend to be symmetrical and structured), organic garlands are intentionally asymmetrical — they follow a more natural, cascading shape that feels modern and high-end.

The garland can be mounted to a wall, freestanding, or even suspended. And while the look is effortless, the execution isn’t – especially if you want it to last through the entire event.
