When planning an event, the right balloons can completely transform your space.
At Peachy Keen Events, we specialise in creating stunning balloon garlands and backdrops across Melbourne, and one of the most common questions we get asked is:
What’s the difference between standard colour balloons and custom double stuffed balloons?
Let’s break it down so you can choose the perfect option for your next celebration.
What Are Standard Colour Balloons?
Standard colour balloons are a popular option most people are familiar with. These are single-layer balloons available in a wide range of colours.
They’re beautiful, versatile, and perfect for creating garlands that suit almost any theme or occasion.
With standard colour balloons, you’ll still achieve a show-stopping look for your event, but your choices are limited when it comes to unique tones and shades.
What Are Double Stuffed Balloons?
Double Stuffed Balloons, also known as Custom Colour balloons, are a little more luxe.
This technique involves layering two balloons together (one inside the other) to create a completely custom shade.
For example, by layering a white balloon over a pink balloon, you can achieve a dreamy pastel pink tone that doesn’t exist in standard balloon ranges. The possibilities are endless so whether you’re chasing a rainbow of pastels, or rich jewel tones, or need to match a colour unique to your brand or event, custom double stuffed balloons are for you.
Because of the double layer, these balloons not only offer custom colours but also appear thicker, feel more premium in texture, and create a richer, more elegant finish.
Why Are Double Stuffed Balloons More Expensive?
Since double stuffed balloons require two balloons to create one finished look, and use double the materials compared to standard balloons, they come at a slightly higher cost.
This extra layer gives them their luxurious, bespoke finish, making them the perfect choice for clients who want a unique colour palette and a truly elevated balloon garland in Melbourne.
Which Option Should You Choose?
The choice between standard and double stuffed balloons really depends on your vision for the event:
Choose Standard Balloons if you’re looking for classic colours and want a beautiful yet budget-friendly option.
Choose Double Stuffed Balloons if you want a bespoke colour palette that perfectly matches your theme, with a luxe, high-end look that makes your event stand out.
