i love the colored balloons with the sun behind it! very pretty effect! the only kind i tend to shy away from are the 2 color balloon arches. personally, it reminds me of prom or the 70s. or a 70s prom. But, to each his/her own, you know?
yes this is very pretty but seeing balloons like this so close to the water makes me worry. balloons fly off and pop and the rubber can be very dangerous to wildlife who might think it is food. not very eco-friendly i don't think.
@ Anonymous: Thanks for bringing the environmental considerations to the forefront! I didn't think about the balloons flying off and into the water. Yuck.
This is really lovely! The sun behind the balloons add a nice dramatic effect to the whole decor. I just hope when these are used, they don't accidentally pop because of the heat. I agree, this could pose a threat to birds also. Thanks!

We're the kind of people who would rather be outside than in. We drink mostly water. A lot of it. We're the kind of people who put on costumes at Halloween and drive around town delivering brownies (with bows) to friends and random people in the service industry. We cook four nights a week and eat out three. We're passionate about making the world better, and we spend lots of time actually trying to do it.

I've never met a balloon that I didn't love.

Balloons are so fabulous though!
love it. hands down.
my first thought was also "not eco friendly" so... my values would never let me do it, as pretty as it may seem
