{wedding trends} balloons

Wednesday, January 12, 2011


There's a right way and a wrong way to do everything. Balloons are up in the category of "well... if they're done right they're not so bad" category for me.


{this is a great example of why i'm not a huge fan of balloons at weddings. unless they're arranged sparingly and tastefully, you end up with a hot mess like this.}

But Google tells me that I should give wedding balloons a second chance. A little search gave me this:

& I was all like SHUT UP because really? Who doesn't just LOVE those photographs?

So I dug a little deeper:

What do you think? Yay or nay? I'm all about the balloon trend now. They're such pretty little props!!

I think they're great if done right. The photos you found are gorgeous! I love the idea of using bright colored balloons in engagement shoots. They're so fun! If they make sense with the theme you're trying to pull off, why not? I also think it depends on the couple, and if it fits with their personalities.

I'm not normally a fan of balloons either, but just yesterday clipped this image http://stylemepretty.com/gallery/photo/120304 as potential inspiration for my wedding photographer - something so fresh and pretty about it, and many of your picks too

I love those big round balloons! They have more of a unique character than regular balloons. I think balloons are a fun addition if done sparingly.

I love them if done right as well although there's been SO many engagement shoots with them lately they're becoming a little too common. However I do love the whimsy they bring to it.

Wow - I love these pictures, and yes, I always had bad thoughts about balloons as well!

Haha...I was a little taken by surprise by the first image cuz I thought it pretty horrid. But then I read what you wrote. ;) The other collection of images are BEAUTIFUL! Love the last one on the bridge.
