Over the years, balloons have remained an important, signature part of celebrations, but they have changed drastically. What used to be a few simple helium balloons on strings, or possibly some more detailed and decorative balloons, have become so much more. Within the past few years especially, there’s a chance that balloon art, beyond the level of balloon animals, has started to appear more on your social media feeds. Whether it’s for a baby shower, graduation, birthday party, etc., balloon art and even balloon arches have started to take over as a popular form of decorating. This introduces a new way to be creative and artistic, while also being flexible enough to be specifically tailored to the likes and desires of the loved one that is being celebrated. That being said, it makes sense that this beautiful balloon art is a no-brainer for those who are looking to celebrate a graduation. 1. Short Individual Number Columns and Celebratory Overhead Arrangement This arrangement may be smaller and more subtle in comparison to other options, but it has no problem announcing itself with a bang! The red and black theme throughout the platform and the main piece overhead is a nice contrast to the metallic letters and celebratory explosions. The year of graduation is arranged number-by-number on their own separate balloon platforms. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Extra Balloons (@extra.balloons) 2. Right Angle Partial Balloon Arch with “Congrats” Celebratory Balloon Banner This partial balloon arch has a rather elegant feel. The two main colors, white and purple, are the first thing most will notice, but the accents brought to the piece by the silver balloons hat are sporadically thrown into the mix, combined with the gold “Congrats” balloon banner blend nicely and truly bring the piece together.

Individual Graduation Year Balloon Twisted Columns This balloon arrangement is unique in the sense that it isn’t an arch the way that others may be arranged. Here, each number of the designated graduation year is supported by a column of multi-colored balloons that appears to be twisted. These colors can be chosen based on personal preference or to match the school’s colors.
