2. Get custom printed balloons and ask your guests to release them as soon as the rings are exchanged . This couple above incorporated 200 white balloons that were passed to the wedding party. As the groom went down on his knee, they all released the balloons in the air- and the best part the balloons were custom printed with the couples initials.

3. Balloon save the dates are the coolest thing ever. How about an invitation or a save the date card which has a custom printed balloon that your guests can inflate. ? Or an easier thing to do- on your pre wedding shoot get a bunch of pastel balloons. Then photoshop your dates over it. 4.  Stuff clear balloons with glitter and hang oodles of gorgeous ribbons and fabric tassles  Clear ,transparent helium balloons with bits of glitter inside and having long glittery ribbons and fabric hanging from them are so stunning and gorgeous. They are modern, they are chic and if you have a classy white and gold reception theme, these would be amazing! You could let them float up to the ceiling, or weigh them down by using a paperweight at the end of the string and just put them at different intervals. 5. Wrap Balloons in Organza fabric and use these as props for your Engagement. Take any balloon, wrap it in your favourite net, lace or organza fabric and you INSTANTLY have stunning looking props that you can tie to your chair and tables. This is gorgeous for a pretty , pastel engagement function and would make lovely photobooth backdrops as well.
