A balloon garland above a table, an arch at the entrance or balloons throughout the venue: we will prepare them in the colours of your party, First Communion, business opening or birthday at home. We assemble every garland on site, whether at a venue in Gdynia, new premises in Przymorze or a garden near Kościerzyna.

Example balloon garland sets
From a single garland above a table to balloons throughout a venue: four sets showing what we can prepare. We adapt the garland length, colours and number of helium balloons to the space and occasion.
Garland above a table or entrance
One garland behind the cake and gift table or around the doorway where guests arrive. It is enough to make a venue or living room feel festive from the moment you enter.
- An organic garland above a table or around a doorway
- Balloons in several sizes, from small to large
- Colours matched to the tablecloth, cake or invitations
- Wall or frame mounting, depending on the space
Best for: Families who want to transform a restaurant room or living room for a birthday, christening or First Communion.
Ask about this set: Garland above a table or entranceBalloon arch at the entrance
An arch above the entrance to a shop, café or restaurant on opening day, or around the doors to a party venue. Guests walk beneath it as they arrive, making it the first decoration they see and photograph.
- A balloon arch above the entrance or around the doorway
- Balloons in your brand or party colours
- A sign with the business name or the day's message
- A weighted base to keep the arch stable outdoors too
- Installation before opening, at a time agreed with you
Best for: Shop, café and restaurant owners on opening day, and families who want to welcome guests at the venue entrance.

One colour palette throughout the room: a garland in the main focal point, columns at the entrance and balloon bouquets on guest tables. This suits a large venue where a single garland would get lost.
- A garland above the main table or stage
- Balloon columns by the entrance or dance floor
- Helium balloon bouquets on guest tables
- Helium balloons at ceiling level, where the venue allows them
- Foil numbers or letters by the guest of honour's table
Best for: Families and businesses hiring a venue for an eighteenth birthday, anniversary, birthday or company party.

A smaller set for a flat or house: a short garland and balloon bouquet that fit in the living room without blocking the way.
- A short garland above a table, sofa or fireplace
- A helium balloon bouquet beside the cake table
- A foil number or name lettering within the bouquet
- A few balloons in the hallway or birthday person's room
Best for: Parents and birthday celebrants hosting in a flat, a house with a garden or at a holiday plot.

These sets are a starting point rather than a fixed price list: we tailor each one to your date, venue, colours and number of guests, and you can combine elements from different sets.
Ideas for balloon garlands and arches
A white and gold First Communion garland
A garland in white, cream and gold with a few clear balloons works well for a First Communion. It looks festive above the cake table, and the light colours complement the white Communion robe and photographs with the whole family.
The shop window and doors on opening day
For a business opening, the garland can frame not just the doorway but part of the shop window, making it visible from across the street. A classic, regular arrangement in brand colours is easier to read from a distance than an organic one. A smaller garland above the counter makes a good addition inside.
Balloons with fresh foliage
As florists, we can weave eucalyptus or ruscus branches into a garland. Greenery softens the balloon colours and connects the garland with the table flowers, making it particularly suitable for garden parties and bright, natural interiors.
A garland along stairs or a balustrade
In a house with a mezzanine or a venue with stairs, a garland can run along the outside of the balustrade, leaving the handrail clear. In photographs, the balloons then frame the birthday girl as she comes downstairs to join her guests.
A garden pergola or fence
For a garden party, perhaps at a lakeside house in Kashubia, a garland can be supported by a pergola, gazebo or fence without a separate structure. Air-filled balloons cope better with a day outdoors, and their colours last longer in the shade.
Organic or classic garlands?
An organic garland has a loose, irregular shape: balloons in several sizes and colours form something like a branch, with small balloons filling the gaps between larger ones. A classic garland is even along its length and follows a repeating pattern, such as stripes or a spiral. Organic arrangements more often suit parties and close-up photographs, while classic ones work well for opening arches that guests need to see from a distance.
In both cases, the final shape comes together on site. We join balloons into clusters, attach them to a strip or frame and decide where to make the garland fuller or narrower once we are beside the wall, doorway or table. This ensures its length and arrangement suit your venue.
Helium indoors and outdoors
Helium is needed only where balloons should float: in bouquets, with foil numbers or beneath the ceiling. We fill garlands and arches with air because a frame or wall holds them in place. Helium escapes from small balloons faster than large ones, and foil balloons retain it longer than latex ones, so we suggest larger or foil balloons for bouquets. At home, place the bouquet away from radiators, fireplaces and windows with strong sunlight.
Outdoors, wind pulls at bouquets and tangles ribbons. By the sea, for example on a terrace in Orłowo or in a garden in Jelitkowo, it can be windy even on a warm day. Cold has an effect too: helium balloons shrink and droop in low temperatures, then regain their shape in warmth. For garden parties, we therefore suggest air-filled garlands and arches, while weighting helium bouquets and placing them somewhere sheltered.
What determines the price of a balloon garland?
Length and density have the greatest effect on a balloon garland's price: a short garland above a table is a different job from an entrance arch or balloons throughout a venue. Your choice of balloons also matters: standard latex, confetti balloons, foil numbers or helium bouquets.
The location matters too: whether the garland will hang indoors or stand outside, the ceiling height and how much installation time the venue allows before the party. We therefore price every decoration for your specific date and venue.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a balloon garland cost?
We quote every garland individually because the price depends on length, density, balloon types and whether it includes an arch, columns or helium bouquets. Send us the date, venue, colours and approximate length of the table or wall where the garland will hang. We will reply within 24 hours with a proposal and quote.
Will you assemble a garland outside the Tricity?
Yes, we can bring balloons to a venue in Kwidzyn, a business in Puck or a garden near Tczew, for example. Travel from our Gdańsk studio is charged separately, with the cost included in the proposal alongside the garland quote from the start.
What is the difference between a balloon garland and an arch?
A garland usually hangs above a table or runs along a wall, which supports it. An arch stands on its own frame with a weighted base, so you can walk beneath it or place it in the middle of a room or in front of an entrance.
Can you attach a garland to the venue wall?
We agree the fixing method with the venue or owner in advance, as not every place allows items to be stuck or hung on walls. Where wall fixings are not allowed, we suggest a garland on a freestanding frame.
Are balloon bouquets filled with helium?
Yes, we usually fill balloon bouquets with helium and weight them so they do not float away or tip over beside the table. If you prefer no helium, we can create a bouquet on sticks or a small air-filled balloon column.
Can you create a balloon arch for a business opening?
Yes. We will create an arch in your brand colours and schedule installation so everything is ready before you open the doors. Send a photograph of the entrance and we will choose a size to suit the doorway and shop window.
