Will these balloons ruin my wedding?

Which balloons did you go for in the end?

If you have them on the ceiling how will the venue get them down for clean up? Sounds like you’re going to leave them with a bit of a ball ache

And so is constantly arguing with people who have a different opinion to you. Don’t act that way if you can’t expect it back. You really do love to argue. Poor thing.

Very concerning that you’re this invested.

Do you ever consider why you’re reacting this way? To actually go to the trouble of searching out and commenting, because you can’t be told you’re wrong?

It’s really quite odd behaviour for an adult.

Habit of arguing 🤭

One of my teens got a load of these for their birthday party and they were shite.

Balloons like that should be banned imo. And not because they’re a tacky as fuck.

No unfortunately I wasn't aware actually. Perhaps governments should ban helium then, rather than relying on the public informing each other and expecting individuals to self limit it. It's sold in thousands of shops, most of the general public are unlikely to know there's a shortage because it's literally everywhere.

I imagine the OP could get a similar look without the use of helium though if she really wants the balloons.

It’s the sort of thing that was in about 5 years ago, so are trying to tell u tactfully that people will think the same, and not a look that they wish to promote their venue.

OP if the balloons aren't going to work for the venue, could you look at LED curtain lights instead? There are loads of different styles which would likely be less problematic for the venue, but still give you some statement lighting? We put them up in our garden sometimes, which means attaching them to the kitchen window for a small part of the run, we use command hooks for that bit which are strong enough, and don't leave any damage behind when you take them down.

Tacky, OP. Sorry.

Surely when they start popping, that will ruin the mood, keep making everyone jump! Some people absolutely hate balloons when they pop.

Goodness if you are ‘allowed’ them and you would like them (it’s your Wedding) …then have them (I think they are very pretty) !
congrats x

Balloons are just an awful idea all round- tacky, terrible for the environment. It's a big fat no from me.

Genuinely don't understand how balloons are still a thing..

If the room will look like that, you don't need the balloons, they will spoil it.

You don't need a Texas summer for balloons to pop. We've had them pop in the garden on an April UK birthday

Well the venue hadn't actually said no so get them if you want OP

If you want a ton of them at ceiling level who is taking them all down and clearing up afterward? You or the venue? I can certainly see how it would add lots of time and effort to the clean up for somebody.

Are the balloons recyclable OP? Otherwise you'd be adding to all the plastic waste.
Maybe the venue has a robust sustainability policy?

Would you consider other alternative attractive decorations / fairy lights ?

What a dramatic title. The naff balloons, or lack thereof will not ruin your wedding. Presumably you are marrying the love of your life, unless they are also a balloon, or constructed from balloons, no?

They look awful and tacky

Ex events manager here, have run many historic venues. These will not be popular no, as they cause such a headache to remove.
My experience of these in the summer is that 30% will fail to stay high enough/light up.
You will then inevitably lose “the vibe/vision” you are going for.
You will also need a vast number to create the effects you’re seeking, which is very labour intensive.
Without several hundred of these, in even an average sized banqueting room, the final outcome is often poor/disappointing to the Bride and looks lost in the room.

I would highly recommend exploring professional lighting companies who can work in tandem with your florist etc to flood the room with uplighters and similar.
Also, if you do go for the balloons, be prepared for a hefty dismantling & disposal fee.

Regardless-I hope you have a dresm on the day- with or without balloons 🎈

Broken bits of balloon are a choking hazard for children under about eight - which is worth planning for if you've got child guests.

Warn your guests - there may well be some who have latex allergies or phobias. I do have a phobia of bursting balloons so may not be the best person to comment but I think the random unexpected loud noises are probably jarring to a lot of people, so think about where you're putting the balloons to reduce the chances of people bursting them - near the ceiling is a good choice on that basis (but I see others saying the heat there might burst them).

If you're going for the very dark space for dancing, consider where else your elderly guests might go / where people can go to take a break.

If they are made of latex, that much latex in one room would make your wedding a complete no go for people latex allergy… just them being there can be a trigger… but if they burst the ‘latex dust’ is expelled into the air causing much heightened risk of reaction…

Is this really worth going bridezilla over?
