Tips for a pro-looking Christmas garland
- Check reds side by side before ordering. Reds vary a lot between brands, from bright cherry to deep wine. Our Real-Life Latex Colors tool shows the inflated shades next to each other.
- Mix sizes for depth. Combine large rounds with 11"/12" and 5" fillers. The brands size a little differently: Tuftex 17" vs Sempertex and Kalisan 18", and Kalisan 12" vs 11".
- Use chrome as the accent, not the base. A few Mirror or Reflex balloons scattered through the garland catch the light.
- Order the whole palette at once. Shades can shift slightly between production batches.
- Houston Decembers can still be warm. For porch or outdoor installs, set up close to the event, keep the garland in shade, and finish with a balloon shine spray. More in our guide to balloons in Texas heat.
When should I order Christmas balloons?
Order by early December for most events. Popular reds, greens and chromes sell fast during the holiday rush.
Can I mix balloon brands in one Christmas garland?
Yes. All five palettes above mix brands on purpose. Size each balloon to its own brand's chart and compare colors in our color tool first. Not sure which brand to choose? Read Tuftex vs Sempertex vs Kalisan: Which Balloon Brand Should You Use?
