Custom organic garland installations for dessert tables, photo backdrops, ceremonies, and celebrations throughout Lancaster County.
Call 717-537-0549 — Free QuoteBalloon garlands are the most versatile installation in event decor. Unlike arches, which span two anchor points, garlands drape and flow — they can frame a dessert table, cascade down a staircase, line a mantle, or create a lush photo backdrop that guests actually want to stand in front of. At Lancaster Float Company, we design and install organic balloon garlands for events of every size throughout Lancaster County.
The organic garland style — mixed balloon sizes in a natural, flowing arrangement — has become the dominant aesthetic in event decor for good reason. It photographs beautifully, works in almost any color palette, and looks equally at home at an intimate baby shower in Ephrata and an outdoor wedding reception at a Lancaster barn venue. We build every garland custom, never from a template.
A garland above or behind the dessert table creates instant visual focus. Guests photograph it, the birthday person poses in front of it, and it elevates the whole presentation. Our most common garland installation.
Garlands paired with a paper flower wall, a macrame backdrop, or a simple colored drape create photo moments that guests actually use. Perfect for birthday milestone parties, baby showers, and corporate events.
Garland-style installations work beautifully as ceremony backdrops for intimate weddings and elopements. Draped behind an arbor or across a wall, they feel lush and romantic without overpowering the space.
A garland along the edge of a head table or down a staircase adds dimension and movement that flat florals can't match. Often the most noticed detail in post-event photos.
Most garlands are priced by the linear foot. A standard dessert table garland runs 8–12 feet. A full photo backdrop garland for a 6-foot wide setup typically runs 12–16 feet. For backdrop coverage with vertical drops on both sides, you're looking at 20+ feet of garland. We'll size it correctly for your setup during the quote process — don't guess at footage.
For outdoor events in Lancaster's summer heat, garland construction needs to account for temperature and sun exposure. A garland installed 3 hours before a midday outdoor party in August behaves differently than one installed 30 minutes before an evening event in September. We know the difference and plan accordingly.
Every garland we build uses a curated mix of latex colors, and we can incorporate specialty balloons — matte finishes, chrome and metallic balloons, pampas grass, dried florals, and greenery — for a more textured, premium look. These organic elements are especially popular for boho-style weddings and baby showers. Tell us your vision and we'll source the materials.
