These photos were taken just a little over 2 hours apart. The first photo shows the balloon garland immediately after setup, and the second photo shows what happened after sitting in direct sunlight and heat.
Not all balloons are created equal. Balloons purchased from Amazon, Party City, or other budget brands are often not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures and direct sun. Heat can cause balloons to oxidize, dull in color, soften, wrinkle, deform, and even pop much faster than professional-grade balloons.
For outdoor events, I always recommend:
☀️ Setting up as close to event time as possible
☀️ Providing shade whenever available
☀️ Using high-quality professional balloon brands designed for outdoor installations
☀️ Understanding that direct sunlight and extreme temperatures will affect the appearance and lifespan of balloons
As decorators, we can create beautiful designs, but Mother Nature always has the final say! 🌞
This is why I want to educate my future clients on what to expect with outdoor balloon décor.
Thank you to my amazing client for trusting me with this beautiful “A Baby is Brewing” setup! 🤎🤍💛
