🎈 10 ft of organic garland uses roughly 150–200 balloons — about an hour of hand-tying per 10 feet.

🌈 The perfect arch is about twice as wide as it is tall — like a rainbow. We'll help you size yours.

🧪 Mini 5" balloons are the secret to that fluffy, cloud-like texture in organic designs.

💡 Tip: an organic garland looks best when it's a little "random" — clusters of minis tucked between 11"s and a few 16" accents.
