Cheap Wedding Balloons

We have just created a special offer on our Belbal printed wedding balloons. There is currently plenty of stock so we should be able to continue this special offer over the next month or more but having said that this is a one off offer and when they are gone they are gone so if you have a favourite then it's probably better to grab them now why you can - before they sell out.


There are a range of different colours with an allover rose print as shown above. This pattern is also available in a clear balloon white the same white print and also pearl white and plum (burgundy) with a gold print.


Included in this wedding balloon sale we also have a lace print, dove print and a just married design shown to the right which has been a real favourite with brides.


The balloons on offer are not just the standard 11" balloon but also some clear 14" designs which are perfect for creating double bubbles because you get the same effect as using a 16" balloon but save money by using less helium. The 14" balloons are also cheaper than the 16" - you also buy them in bags of 25 instead of 50 for 16" - and with this terrific sale you can now get them even cheaper!



Then to make this even better the sale also includes some of the giant wedding balloons - the 3ft large round balloons which are absolutely perfect for making a statement or for creating a bursting balloon!


So don't miss out - get yourself a bargain on your wedding balloons now why there are still stocks available. You can find them all listed here.

Double Bubble Balloons - or a balloon in a balloon!

We often get asked how to make a balloon in a balloon. Well it takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it then it's quite easy.

You need a clear balloon, or a clear balloon with a pattern on, a solid colour balloon to go inside, helium, a balloon stick (a straw, piece of wooden dowel, a pen or pencil also works!) and a length of ribbon.

The clear balloon on the outside can be 11", or you can go for a 14" or 16" balloon. The bigger the balloon the more helium you will use but it will also float longer. The image shows a 16" balloon with an 11" inside.


Slip the 11" plain balloon over the balloon stick or straw and then insert this into the neck of the clear balloon. If you are using an 11" clear balloon you may need to wrap the balloon slightly around the straw so it fits easily through the neck. Adjust the balloons so that the necks line up.

Put the helium nozzle between the necks of the 2 balloons so that you are inflating the clear balloon and inflate it to between a half and two thirds of its capacity. Remove the nozzle, readjust the necks if necessary and then insert the nozzle into the plain balloon. As you inflate the balloon the outside balloon will also get larger. Remove the nozzle from the plain balloon, making sure to keep hold of the necks to stop the helium escaping, if necessary you can add a bit more helium to the outside balloon to size it correctly.

There are 2 ways of tying off the balloon. You can either stretch the neck of the outside balloon and tie it around the neck of the 11" balloon or pull the 11" balloon down so that the body of the balloon acts as a plug in the neck of the outside balloon then tie the neck around the neck of the outside balloon. I personally prefer the second method as the inside balloon always sits nicely and it is easier to tie the balloon and can even tie it directly onto the ribbon or tulle, the downside is that the neck is more unsightly but if you are using tulle this will hide that.

Either tie a ribbon to the neck of the balloon or use a length of tulle. The 6" tulle is best but if you can also cut the normal 12" tulle in half lengthways. I wouldn't recommend using tulle with an 11" clear balloon as it will add too much weight and considerably reduce the length of time that your design will float but it is ideal with either the 14" or 16" balloons.


NB. When fully inflated a 14" balloon holds twice the helium of an 11" balloon and a 16" balloon uses three times the amount of helium, so if using a 14" balloon then inflate the clear balloon to 11" before  inflating the 11" balloon, if using a 16" balloon you can inflate to 14" before inflating the 11" balloon.
