Color Blocked vs. Mixed Balloon Garlands
If you aren’t well versed in art of any kind, you may not know the difference between color blocked and non-color blocked! It may be simpler than you think.
What is Color Blocking?
Color blocking is a design technique that involves grouping balloons of the same color together in solid "blocks." Imagine a balloon arch with distinct sections of blue, then red, then yellow—each color stands out in its own designated space. This design approach is often associated with bold, modern aesthetics and gives the arrangement a more organized, symmetrical look.
What’s a Non-Color Blocked Arrangement?
A non-color-blocked arrangement, on the other hand, blends colors together without separating them into defined sections. Think of it as a more fluid, evenly mixed blend of colors, where blue, red, and yellow balloons are scattered evenly throughout the entire arrangement. This style creates a softer, more organic look, where no single color takes center stage.
The Pros of Color-Blocked Arrangements
Bold and Structured: Color-blocked arrangements are eye-catching and perfect for modern, sleek events where you want a bold and organized look.
Branding: Color blocking works well when you want to represent brand colors or specific theme colors in a way that’s more deliberate and striking.
Photogenic: The sharp color divisions make for stunning, high-contrast photos that look professional and refined.
The Pros of Non-Color-Blocked Arrangements
Soft and Flowing: Non-color-blocked styles are perfect for events with a more organic or whimsical vibe, like baby showers or boho weddings, where the goal is to create a gentle flow of colors.
Natural Look: Blending colors randomly is a great way to avoid a harsh, structured feel. If you want your balloons to look effortlessly beautiful, this style is for you.
Versatile for Small Spaces: Since non-color-blocked arrangements don’t have strict divisions, they can work well in tighter or oddly shaped spaces.
Both color-blocked and non-color-blocked arrangements bring something unique to your event. The best choice depends on the atmosphere you're trying to create. Whether you're going for a bold statement or a blended beauty, both styles can make any event unforgettable!
