What moves the price
- Colours and finishes — chrome, printed or foil balloons cost more than standard latex in plain colours.
- Number of balloons needed — a full arch or garland uses far more balloons than a few bouquets, and each one is inflated and tied.
- Duration of the setup — a large installation built on site ties up the decorator for longer before the event.
- Complexity of the arrangements — themed balloon installations and arches take longer to build than simple bouquets.
- Hire duration and collection — a balloon display left up over several days, or collected late at night, adds to the price.
- Location of the event — a venue far from the decorator's base adds travel time, and large pieces may need extra trips.
