For a woodland wedding, foliage would be a lovely addition, while pampas grass would work beautifully at a bohemian celebration. Your wedding theme will largely determine what else you might like to add to your balloon wall.

Once all of your balloons are attached to the wall, you can play around with decorative extras.

If you want something large and statement,you could cover an entire wall in foam board. If your venue aren’t keen on you attaching things to the walls, you may wish to hang a piece of wire mesh from the ceiling instead. Then attach the foam board to the wall using double-sided gorilla tape. Next, create the shape of your balloon wall using pieces of foam board.
