What is fringe?

Fringe is a decorative element that consists of strips of lightweight material, such as paper or fabric, that hang from the ceiling. This creates a cascading effect that enhances the visual appeal of a space. The colors and textures are completely customizable to your event.

Fringe can be made from various lightweight materials, including paper, fabric, or plastic. The choice of material can influence the overall look and feel of the decor.

What is the lifespan of balloon decorations?

Balloon decorations can last anywhere from several hours to a few days outdoors, depending on the type of balloons used and environmental factors, such as heat and sun exposure. Indoor balloon decorations have a longer lifespan and can last weeks, up to months inside. We recommend scheduling your installation close to your event time for the best results.

Can I use balloons outdoors?

Yes, balloon decorations can be used outdoors, but they require special attention. Heat and sunlight can cause balloons to expand and pop, so it's best to limit exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Are your balloons biodegradable?

Yes! We strive to use eco-friendly products whenever possible. All of our latex balloons are high-quality, biodegradable balloons, but we encourage proper disposal to minimize environmental impact. We also encourage our clients to think about resell/ reuse of their balloons so that they be used more than once prior to disposal.
