What we build

Three ways to garland it

Every garland starts with your colour palette and the feel you're going for, then we take it from there. We work in balloon grades built to hold their shape for the length of your event, and we install on-site so the garland arrives ready, not deflating in a box.

Garlands are popular as the centrepiece for birthdays, engagement parties, baby showers, graduations and corporate launches, and they pair naturally with our other styling, florals, table settings, and signage, if you want the full look rather than just the garland.

01

Organic clusters

Loose, flowing balloon clusters that drape over an arch, staircase or entrance.

02

Marquee-style garlands

Structured garlands built to frame a number, a backdrop or a step-and-repeat moment.

03

Freestanding balloon walls

Standalone balloon walls for photo moments, launches and step-and-repeat backdrops.

How it works

From colour brief to install

01

Tell us the brief

Share your date, venue and colour direction through our planner or over WhatsApp.

02

We build close to the date

Sizing and placement are confirmed for your space, and we build near your event date so the balloons are at their fullest.

03

We install before you arrive

We're on-site ahead of your guests, so the garland is ready and waiting. Pricing depends on length, density and where in Cape Town the install is, you'll have a clear quote before anything is booked.

FAQ

Common questions

How far in advance should I book a balloon garland?+
For weekend dates in peak season (school holidays, December, Valentine's week) we'd suggest 2-3 weeks' notice where possible, though we do accommodate shorter timelines when our schedule allows, message us with your date and we'll confirm.
Do you deliver and install, or do I collect?+
We install on-site for garlands, since balloon structures travel poorly once built. We'll arrive ahead of your event start time to set up and won't leave until it's exactly right.
Can you match our exact event colours?+
Yes, send us your palette, a Pinterest board, or even just a swatch, and we'll source balloon shades to match as closely as possible.
Do garlands hold up outdoors?+
They do, within reason, we'll flag if wind or direct sun on the day is likely to shorten how long a garland holds its shape, and advise on placement accordingly.
