How to Choose the Right Balloon Arch for Your Event

Balloon arches are a classic for a reason! They create fabulous entrances, beautifully frame a speaker or other focal point, and invite photos. But how do you decide what size balloon arch you need? Read on to learn when and where to use small, medium and large balloon arches at your DMV event!

1. SMALL BALLOON ARCHES

A small balloon arch is approximately 8' high and 10' wide. Inside, it looks best in a space that has a 10-foot-high (or higher) ceiling. It's the right size arch to put over a small walkway or path, to frame a standard six-foot rectangular registration table, or provide a photo spot for a small party.

2. MEDIUM BALLOON ARCHES

A medium arch is a little more size flexible. It can be made narrower and taller, or wider and shorter, by placing its "feet" closer or father apart. A medium balloon arch is most often set up as a 10' high and 12' wide balloon arch. It's the right size balloon arch to frame ballroom doors, create a photo spot for a team of coworkers at a corporate event, or decorate a stage. It's our most popular arch!

3. LARGE BALLOON ARCHES

Soaring ceilings and large spaces, like one of Amazon's warehouses, or the Washington Convention Center, call for a large balloon arch or extra large balloon arch, which start at 11'h and 16'w. These balloon arches are best suited for indoor events!
