More than a balloon arch
A balloon arch can do much more than decorate an entrance — it can frame a launch, introduce a brand colour palette, create a photo opportunity or turn an otherwise empty area into something people immediately notice. From simple organic garlands to large-scale branded balloon installations, we design around your space, colours, event and objective, with delivery, professional installation and removal where required.
What are you trying to create?
Not every event needs the same shape — sometimes an arch is right, sometimes a garland works better, sometimes the brief needs columns, a tunnel or a full balloon wall. That's why we don't begin every conversation with 'what size arch do you want?' We start with 'what are you trying to create?' and recommend the right balloon treatment for the space.
Shapes and finishes
Organic balloon arches use different balloon sizes for a natural, flowing shape. Garlands run across a backdrop or frame signage without becoming the entire installation. Balloon tunnels create a walk-through experience guests physically move through. Chrome balloon orbs give a sculptural, futuristic appearance for beauty, fashion and luxury launches. Colour can be matched from brand guidelines, Pantone references or campaign artwork.
Combine balloons with the rest of your styling
We can combine balloon styling with a branded backdrop, shimmer wall or one of our photo experiences, designing them together rather than treating each as a separate hire — this works particularly well for Christmas parties, company anniversaries and launch celebrations.
Create an entrance people notice
A good balloon installation changes the way guests experience a space before they've even walked into it — it tells them they're in the right place, that something is happening, that this event has been thought about. Whether you need a clean corporate entrance, a branded product-launch installation or a full balloon tunnel designed around a campaign, we'll build the solution around the space.
Not every installation needs to be bright
Metallic and chrome finishes — chrome silver, rose gold, metallic copper — can make an installation feel more premium, mixed with matte colours for extra depth. Neutral palettes in white, cream, champagne or taupe can be highly effective for corporate launches, luxury events and beauty campaigns, creating a softer, more sophisticated installation than a bright party arch.
Professional installation, start to finish
A large balloon arch isn't simply inflated and placed in the room — our team may pre-build sections, transport equipment, construct framework, inflate on site and secure it safely before styling the final shape. Depending on your quotation we can handle design, balloon preparation, delivery, installation, venue coordination, de-rig and removal, so you don't need to arrange a collection van yourself.

Questions, answered
Balloon arch hire London FAQs
Can you match our company colours?
Yes. We can work from brand guidelines, Pantone references, campaign artwork or product packaging — exact colour availability depends on balloon manufacturers and stock, so send us your colour reference early if a precise match is critical.
Can balloon arches be installed outdoors?
Outdoor installations are possible, but the environment changes everything — wind, rain, heat and direct sunlight can all affect the structure and finish. Please tell us from the beginning if the installation is outdoors so we can plan and anchor it appropriately.
How long does setup take?
Simple balloon displays can often be installed relatively quickly, while large arches, tunnels, walls and brand activations require considerably more time — setup can range from approximately 60–90 minutes to several hours depending on scale and venue access.
What measurements do you need?
For an entrance installation, send the width and height of the opening, the space to the left and right, and a photograph of the area. For backdrops, also send the required width and height. If you don't know the measurements, ask the venue.
Can you install without fixing into venue walls?
Yes. Where venue fixing is restricted, we create freestanding installations using appropriate professional support systems and weighting — particularly useful for hotels, listed buildings and exhibition halls.
Can balloons be used for a reveal or celebration moment?
Yes. Balloon drops can be used for award wins, countdowns, product reveals or milestone celebrations, generally from around 100 balloons upwards — these need to be planned with the venue in advance to assess rigging, access and guest safety.
What types of balloon installations do you provide?
Organic arches, garlands, balloon walls, tunnels, bouquets, columns, centrepieces, helium balloons, chrome balloon orbs, drops and bespoke balloon installations.
Can you attach balloons to our existing backdrop, or combine them with a shimmer wall?
Often, yes — send photographs and dimensions of the backdrop so we can confirm the safest approach. Balloon garlands and shimmer walls are also a popular combination, and can include branded signage.
What happens if the weather is bad for an outdoor installation?
We'll advise on suitable installation options, but severe weather may make some outdoor balloon designs unsafe or impractical, and alternative locations or designs may need to be considered.
Do you provide cheap balloon arch hire?
Our focus is on professionally designed and installed event décor rather than competing purely on the cheapest possible option. If you have a budget, tell us — we can recommend what will create the strongest visual result within it.
