Exploring Organic Balloon Décor Styles

Organic Balloon Craze: Not Just a Passing Trend

Some thought that the organic balloon craze was just a fad, destined to fade away. However, the trend has remained strong since its emergence around 2015. It's difficult to say who started it, as rumors circulate that it was someone outside of the balloon industry. For veteran balloon professionals, it was a hot topic, with some doubting the appeal and longevity of the style. After years of creating precise designs, the organic balloon trend challenged the status quo.

Mastering the "Organic Style" in Design

It can be difficult to fully understand the "organic style" in design, and if I'm being honest, there are some organic decor designs that I love and others that I don't care for at all. Would I consider myself an expert in organic design? Definitely not. However, I do enjoy the process of creating an organic design and find it to be a rewarding experience.

I believe that many balloon artist learn to develop their own organic style, as there is no exact method. They have a formula that they like to work with to ensure they get the desired look time and time again. And for those without a formula, many struggle to get a good result, as creating good organic decor is not as simple as it seems! 

So what is Organic Décor?

Organic decor It is best described as balloons that are styled to attempt to mimic the beauty in nature. when a piece has organically or randomly sized balloons placed throughout, it adds an elegance within the design that comes together and helps set the mood of an event space.

However, organic décor is not achieved by simply using a range of different sizes of balloons. It is a combination of intentionally sized sized balloons that have been arranged to create a natural flow whilst also ensuring that the principles and elements of design have been applied to ensure that the design maintains rhythm, balance and harmony.

Why is Organic Decor so popular?

It’s very much like fashion, and it remains a top trend.

It has been popularised by social media, and you see many celebrities and influencers with organic decor on their Instagram accounts.

Structured Organic Decor

For those who are new to the world of organic décor, structured organics can be a good first step. It can also be a great starting point when making structures for organic balloon walls, ceiling clouds, topiary, puffed hearts and other designs.


Structured organics is when we use a classic décor style structure and add more balloons to the design to create an organic look to it.

Organic décor, can be either straightforward, using limited variations of balloons and balloon sizes, or much more complicated with elaborate styled frames and many balloons inflated to varying sizes!
