When it comes to balloon garlands, the style you choose can completely change the vibe of your event. Two of the most popular design styles we offer are Color Block and Mixed balloon garlands—but what’s the difference?
While both create a beautiful balloon moment, they have very distinct looks. Whether you’re planning a sleek, modern party or a playful, vibrant celebration, understanding the difference will help you pick the right fit for your space, theme, and photo ops.
Let’s break it down—visually and simply.
Mixed
A mixed balloon garland blends your chosen colors throughout the entire design. Instead of grouping each color, they’re evenly scattered—creating a fun, balanced mix that feels soft, full, and a little whimsical.
Color-Block
A color-block balloon garland uses balloons of the same color grouped together in sections or “blocks,” creating a bold, striped effect. You’ll see each color clearly separated, making the design feel polished and intentional—even if the shape is free-flowing and organic.
🗒️ Quick Tip:
No matter which style you choose, we typically recommend 2–4 colors to keep things visually cohesive while still giving your design depth and dimension.

So, Which Style Fits Your Vibe?
Deciding between a color-block or mixed balloon garland really comes down to the look and feel you want for your celebration.
- Color-block garlands give a clean, bold impact — perfect when you want your colors to stand out in a big way (think school spirit, brand colors, or a more polished theme).
- Mixed garlands bring a playful, effortless charm and are perfect for adding a pop of personality to just about any party.
