“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.”

Before venturing into the world of wedding planning, I always thought of balloons as decor items—not props. Mostly, I had flashbacks to the ’80s (balloon arches, anyone?). However, I’ve learned they’re a creative way of adding just the right touch of whimsy. Whether one or many—they’re so effin’ cute!

I love that each BM has a “bouquet” of balloons instead of flowers:

Don’t you think they add such an unexpected playfulness? I tried to track down a round balloon for our engagement photos, but alas came up empty handed. Is anyone else considering using balloons or some other prop for their engagement photos?
Ohhh I got sooo excited when I saw this! Me and my FI used 5 red heart balloons in some of our engagement photos and they turned out amazinggg! I would highly recommend using balloons! We would have used them in more photos but unfortunately, the blew away 
I love balloon pics…they seem so whimsical! We used big round white balloons as props in our wedding pics. They are some of my favorites!
Balloons! I’ve been pining over the same photos since we got engaged…..they’re ridiculously charming and i’ve been looking for an excuse to have a bunch of heart shaped ones at our reception 
I say go for it tartlet!
I think I want to include a helium balloon in our photobooth. Maybe a Smiley face one, or a just married, we’ll see what’s available at the dollar store that week.
Love it! Have to share my favorite wedding balloons: http://www.jesihaackweddingsblog.com/2010/07/wedded-whimsy/ (they’re behind the dessert table)
I love balloons but unfortunately Mr E doesnt so no balloons for us! I love your inspiration pics and heart shaped balloons are my fav
@Miss Panther: Ahhhh! This wedding is full of awesome! Thanks for sharing the link, Panther.
We also came up empty handed for our epics, but I just confirmed that our florist for the wedding will be able to get some for us. Here’s my fave Balloonlicious Wedding: http://thenicholsblog.com/2009/12/01/sarah-jaime-married/comment-page-1/
I love the way that they line the aisle! Ohh! And that all the balloons are blue, except for the pink one on the bride’s chair! Totally my inspiration!
We loved balloons too and included them in our engagement photos! We are in Texas and found the giant balloons in a pack of 5 at Party City. We even tied a smaller balloon to our dog’s harness sp he could join the balloon fun. They came out so cute! Too bad we didn’t get photos of us releasing them though…at one point we tied them to a car bumper – but as we took other photos they blew away!!!
Ohmygosh! The only thing cuter than these photos is the quote at the top! I wish wish wish we would have had balloons on our epics!

Mrs. Tartlet, Rochester, MI Age and Occupation: Age & Occupation: 27, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Medical Student Engagement Date: May 2, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: The Royal Park Hotel About Me: I'm an exuberant gal from the Midwest with a penchant for Neuroscience and anything sparkly. I'm not afraid to poke fun at myself, and I'm a believer that given the right pair of shoes, a girl can conquer the world. While an interest in the sciences threw Mr. Tartlet and me together (again, and again, until it finally stuck), we share a love for many things---food, video games, car dancing, food, bad puns, travel, did I mention food?---that ultimately led us to where we are now, less than five months from becoming Mr. and Mrs. We're planning a laid-back, romantic, garden-inspired affair with organic and quirky touches that reflect our love for the unexpected!
