1.3K views · 44 reactions | I can’t stress this enough—always inflate your balloons before color matching! I learned this the hard way when I chose a paint color for a backdrop based on uninflated balloons. At first, everything looked perfect. The balloon shades and the paint swatch seemed to be an exact match, so I confidently moved forward with my design. But once I inflated the balloons, the color completely changed. The backdrop that was supposed to tie everything together now looked off, and the overall aesthetic wasn’t what I had envisioned. Here’s why this happens: When balloons are uninflated, the latex is thicker and more opaque, making the color appear darker and more saturated. But once you inflate them, the material stretches, and the color becomes lighter or even shifts in tone. Some colors become more translucent, while others take on an entirely different hue, depending on the brand and type of balloon. If you don’t take this into account, you might end up with a backdrop or other design elements that don’t complement your balloons at all. To avoid this, always inflate at least one balloon from each color you plan to use before making final design choices. Hold them up against your backdrop, table linens, florals, or any other key elements to ensure everything blends the way you intended. This simple step can save you from last-minute surprises and help you achieve a cohesive, well-balanced event design. Trust me—you don’t want to skip this! | Orlando Venue, Party Planner & Rentals
