Balloon decorations take over flowers

Decoration can be done with any kind of materials for various occasions, but one sticks to the colorful and cheering flowers when it comes to organising a meeting or celebrating a wedding. Balloons are the latest catching up trend among the event management companies who are suggesting use of balloons for almost every occasion.

City now houses more than three event planners who exclusively deal with balloon decoration for domestic, corporate and wedding occasions. The trend of using balloons, pom-poms, and other hand-made paper and material crafts are impressing a large sector of the society. These pretty designs are wooing the young and old alike with instant appeal thus encouraging them to copy the same.

Pratap Puli, manager at Balloon Experts in the city speaking to The Hans India said, “Balloon decorations are not new. They are just ignored. But, it is fact that the trend is coming up in the city because balloon decoration is now not limited to just matching or combining two or more colors and placing them at every corner.

Balloons are now being set up in various forms with beautiful prints, shapes and colors to suit every theme and color code. Animals, houses, toys, vehicles, flowers, arches, and every figure can be now made through incorporating balloons according to sizes and shapes''.

Balloon decorations have gained importance across metro cities and has reached Vijayawada. Majority events across developed countries use balloons cause flowers come at a heavy price for them. “Earlier when there was no set-up of this service in Vijayawada, most of my relatives and friends contacted services located in Hyderabad to get the job done.

That is when we got to tell people about it who later came up with the services here'', said Durga K of Ramvarappadu, who depended on balloon decorations for first birthday celebrations of her daughter. Balloon decorations start from a minimum of Rs 1000 depending on the design one chose.

We get a variety balloons in printed format along with numbers and cartoon characters which can be ordered online or purchased, to do small arrangements for a simple party or gathering. There are tutorials in internet that help anybody to become professionals in this art, added Swetha.
