Weddingbee boards

When I was in high school and attended prom, I can remember tons of ballons scattered about the dance floor.  It was a cool decoration and kind of gave the idea of dancing in the clouds.  Do you think this idea would be good for a reception, or would it look childish and cheesy?

I was wondering the same thing! I've seen pictures somewhere of other couples using balloons and it looked simple and beautiful! But I'm not sure how I would pull it off without it looking cheesey.

I know that while I was working in Michigan, they had a company that did beautiful parties with balloons (and made it look classy and not cheap). Maybe there's a balloon or party company near you that could show you some pictures and ideas?

I hate to say this but unless you do it right, the risk is very high that the balloons will cause the wedding party to look very tacky. I saw photos of a wedding once where the couple used red balloons to decorate the event but it ended up looking like a birthday party. If you must - try to (1) get metallic balloons or balloons with a shimmer/shine, (2) if you are having long tables, you can consider getting giant balloons (i.e. balloons which are as big as 3-4 normal balloons put together) - I saw this in snippet and ink before and it was quite a nice effect - the bride had white giant balloons stretched out at intervals along the long table, (3) if no (2) is not easily available, then your must bet is probably to use it as a centrepiece by bunching them together as 3-4 balloons and tying them to the floral centrepiece.
