What is a balloon column?

A balloon column is a freestanding tower of balloons on a weighted base. It adds height and color while using only a small square of floor, which makes it the go-to choice for narrow entrances, classrooms, hallways and busy lobbies. Columns work alone, in pairs on either side of a doorway, or in long rows that guide guests through a space.

Need something that connects overhead? See our balloon arches.

Balloon column styles we build

  • Spiral columns: colors that twist up the column. Clean and bold for schools, universities and brand colors.
  • Organic columns: mixed balloon sizes for a fuller, softer look.
  • Jumbo-topped columns: finished with an oversized balloon or a foil star for extra height.
  • Number and letter columns: foil numbers, class years or words at the top.
  • Themed columns: candy cane, pumpkin, champagne and other seasonal designs.

Where balloon columns work best

What affects the price of balloon columns

Every quote is custom. These are the things that change it:

  • Number of columns and how tall they are.
  • Style: organic columns use more mixed sizes than a classic spiral.
  • Toppers: jumbo balloons, foil stars, numbers and letters.
  • Indoor or outdoor: outdoor columns need secure support planned for the spot.
  • Setup window and access at your building.
  • Distance from our Belleville studio.

Questions

Balloon Columns FAQ

Something else on your mind? Send us your event details or call (201) 300-5153.

How tall are balloon columns?

We size each column to the room. The spiral columns we built for the Kean NJCU Open House in Jersey City were 7 feet tall. Tell us your ceiling height and where the columns will stand.

Can balloon columns go outdoors?

Yes. Outdoor columns need secure support, which we plan for the spot. Mark your event as outdoor on the quote form so we can plan for it.

Balloon columns or a balloon arch: which should I choose?

Columns suit narrow entrances, hallways and rooms with limited floor space. An arch connects overhead and makes a bigger statement over a doorway or stage. Many events use both.

Can you match our school or brand colors?

Yes. We work from hundreds of Sempertex colors and can match most school and brand palettes closely. Send us your colors or a logo.

Can you add numbers, letters or stars?

Yes. Columns can be finished with foil numbers, letters, stars or an oversized balloon.

Do you deliver balloon columns to New York City?

Yes, to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx and Queens, as well as North Jersey within about 20 miles of our Belleville studio.
