Are balloons tacky?

Not at all! those look cute. i love the idea of balloons for wedding photos - i had balloons for my wedding photos and as some decor for my ceremony

I think there’s a fine line between elegant and childish when it comes to wedding balloons. The inspo photo you posted is super cute.

I would normally say better for a bridal shower. But I’ve seen a few elegant designs, like the one you posted which makes the decor fun yet elegant! 🎈

Nope not at all! I think it's super cute especially because now they have all these wonderful new color combos! I would totally go for it! It probably won't even be expected which makes it even better!

Go for it! I think the picture you have is cute. In today's age, it doesn't seem like there are many rules you have to follow for what you can do with your wedding.

Love your inspiration pic. Found a few others you may like too (and wedding photos with a couple holding balloons and/or the wedding party holding them makes for adorable photos!):

We are doing a balloon wall for our photo backdrop. I think there is a fine line between tacky and elegant so I would make sure to choose a balloon garland company that specializes in higher end affairs. Heres an example of what we will be doing:

I love the ideas of balloons, but since I'm allergic to latex, they're a no-go for any occasion

We went to a 5k and kids were playing with balloons, and I felt like a jerk because I couldn't play

I personally hate balloons ..... if they r done right they look amazing though ..... I like the look not the noise they make .... I have a strange fear of balloons

I think that if it’s something you like, them that’s enough. What I do ask is that at the end of the night, someone make sure they’re disposed of appropriately and helium balloons are not released into the wild blue yonder.

TOTALLY WHIMSICAL I like it a lot!

I think it can be very cute when it is kept classy and not cheesy, your photo is proof of that. I like the ones with the lights and glitter in them, in some designs, too.

Do what you love!


Just have a lot of backups. We made a balloon garland for my friend's bridal shower and the balloons kept popping!

These are so cute!

God for it! I really like the look and the PP's balloon wall. You can pull it off.

I don’t think it’s tacky. Balloons can be done in a tasteful fantastic way. And balloons are happy. Who isn’t happy when they see balloons? All the photos you referenced look fantastic.

I love balloons! Totally not tacky, in my opinion. A wedding is a celebration, and balloons make celebrations so fun! I think if you use different sizes, textures and finishes, it can be so classy and fun.

I love balloons and don't think they're tacky, depending on how you arrange them. The picture you posted is definitely not.

Sadly, balloons are bad for the environment so I haven't used them in years and will not get them myself.
